An exceptionally good basket ball
game will be seen tomorrow night
when the last team of the Amateur
Athletic Club from North Adams
plays the local Y NJ. c. A. The
North Adams boys defeated the Ben
nington team on their floor by a
small score and so a close and excit-
ing contest is expected Several
members of the Amateurs have been
playing togther for a number of years
and consequently their team work
and passing is worth watching In
size and weight the two teams will
be better matched than any that have
yet played here this season. An eff
fort is being made TO run preli-
minary game between the Business
Mems team and the Catamounts The
Emeralds, who were to have played
had to cancel their engagement be-
cause two of the players were dis
| abled in a game with the Kennawhas.
Saturday night the Catamounts will
play the Ramblers of the Pittsfield
Boys Club at the local gym. The
Ramblers have already lost TO the
Catamounts on their own floor by the
score of 17-l6 so a good game can
be expected Saturday night.
