Miami. Fla, where they rarely occur.

corded. In the present month the mer-

be in excellent condition for the big
game Saturday night. the second con-
test of the iron copper country series.

Calumet Y. NJ. c. A. team.
The Calumet Y. NJ. c. A. proved the
strongest opponents OF the Ishpeming
men on the copper country trip. Ac-
cording to the Calumet papers, the
game was the fastest ever seen in the
copper country. Both teams played the
same style OF basketball, and the fast
floor, team play and individual work
made the game spectacular. AS the
Ishpeming gymnasium is similar TO the
Calumet Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium. the
Calumet boys will be more at home
than most of the teams that have op-
posed the Ishpeming ''Y' team on it's
