A Strong Five.

The basket ball team of the
Kansas City Y. NJ. G. A. will meet
the Wentworth team in the Aca-
deny drill hall this evening
at $50. The "Giants" have
the strongest team in all Kansas
City this year from all appearan-
ces and have not yet been defeat
ed. They may be expected to put
up a great exhibition Of basket
ball. The cadets do not expect to
win; but they expect 70 make a
creditable showing and to learn
good deal concerning the game.
A Kansas City referee will al
so be on hand, so that the local
SSorts can get sorie straight dope
on officiating. A good crowd
ought to turn out, since SO far
this season opportunity for see
ing basket ball has been rather
meagre in Lexington.
After the game there will be a
regular Saturday night dance in
Amusement hall under the direct
ion of Miss Gilkerson.
