\. S. NO HALL:
NO BASKET BALL
Games Cannot Be Played
Because of Lack of a
Suitable Floor.

The Hammond high school may not
be represented by a basketball team
this year. according to Captain Swan
ton. This is due to the fact that it has
been unable to find hall in Hammond
which in turn will throw them out of
the Lake County High School asketball
association.
For months the basket ball team has
been searching for a hall, but has met
with no success. The HefntZ skating
rink is the only possible site. but the
enormous rent that has been asked for
its use has given the basketball shoot
ers very little encouragement.
While other high school teams in the
county have been playing for at least
a month, the Hammond squad has not
had ball in its hands. Captain Swan
ton stated this morning that he has the
best material to pick from than htere
has been in years, and II hall could
be found a championship quintet could
be turned out. Hammond was sched-
uled to start their season Jan. 3 with
the Bowen high school of South Chi
cago.
