Manager Matthew'S of the Whining
ton High School basketball team, has
arranged one Of the hardest cage
schedules in the history of the insti-
tuition and the present standard
bearers VIII have to play at tighten
ing clip to come through with the ma
jority of the games on the right side
of the percentage column. Manager
Matthews began working on his pro-
gram for 1928 Immediately after
last seasons untimely ending and by
consistent work he has secured some
of the fastest scholastic iyes in this
ection.
Several of the teams will make
their first appearance against the
/ Cherry and White and will open ath-
letic relations that will most likely
extend through all branches of sport.
The Higlets first contest after the
holidays will be on Saturday, Jan
uary H. against Coatesvile. This
team will long be remembered in this
lcity as the only team which defeated
Friends Schools peerless combina-
tion last year Friends captured
fourteen of fifteen contests. Coates
vile being the solitary team that
handed t1em setback. and this
reversal came after the Quakers had
copped nine successive games.
The Pennsylvanians hayc the same
players in their fold this year and
the locals viii have to travel some
to win out They will practice Tues
day and Thursday and intend to have
all the kinks out of their system by
Saturdays mill.
On Friday. January H. the Higlets
Will go to Dover and take chance
at Wilmington Conference Academy.
This is the first time that the Dover
its have appeared on the locals books
and judging by the way they have
heen cleaning up things down State
they should give Matthews charges a
close run. This will be Highlets ini-
tial game Off their own wooden way
and it will show their true worth. 1t
is claimed that most any old team can
grab the big end on their own court
but the quintets that figure in the
grand old race for the coveted cham
pionships are the ones that can bring
home the bacon when they leave their
own back ward
Highlets will play game or two
week and following tho struggle
! with Confe renee Academy they will
engage in friendly combat with the
/ Philadelphia School of Pedagogy.

ter as their February opponents. The

at Delaware College and representa-

the same institutions.
AS usual the Highlets have a dou-
! bic engagement with Chester High,
their blOoc thirsty rivals of many
years standing. During 1910-11 the
