High School Athletes
To Remain in Training
Throughout Holidays

The hiSh, school athletes Will not re-
ceive the lay-off expected with the hoii
days. Coach He!uc Richardson Is OF the
opinion that two weeks of rest would
lessen the good effects OF previous train
ing, and give him bunch OF uncon-
ditioned men to work with next month.
The coach wants 10 win the basketball
title this winter, and so has ISSUED
orders for all men TO appear IN uniform
OF Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays
during the next two weeks.
The junior and sophomore teams were
expected 10 play or their tie for tho
school title Friday but a change IN date
Is sought by the juniors who VIII try
and have the game played Tuesday next
juniors are lavorites for the title, but
Judging from the showing OF both teams
during the class series, u should prove
an exciting contest with the result IN
doubt to the end.
The sophomore class team OF the L. q.
:. college, champions OF that school and
who defeated the bich school sophomores
last week, have challenged the Junior
team OF u.eThigh school ~ game I'm
mediately after the vacation. This game
will be played regardless OF the outcome
between the two high scnool teams and
" the Saints Win they will claim the in
ter-ciass title OF both. schools.
CoacE Miller OF the j.. -. s. team Is
looking To the class teams for some
excellent material TO bolster his first
five, Richardson OF the high school IS
regular players. For these reasons the
Glars games between the two schools are
looked to nv a forecast cr the regular
league games.
