HUTT ANNOUNCES
 FOR CITY COUNCIL.

J. F. Hut, who has served with much credit in the City Council, yes terday announced himself for re-elec- ton to the Council from the Second ward. It had been confidently expect ed by his friends that such an an nouncement to such an effect would be made, because of the fact that he has been of such signal service to not only those of his own ward, but to the city in. general.
 Possessing a clear minded concep- tion of what should be done in civic affairs, he has made a most compe- tent official and one deserving of recognition for services rendered.

LOCALS WILL PLAY s~sss
 IN MONTICELLO FRIDAY,

The High School basketball team practlced on the new court in the auditorium of the Negro Masonic Iemple yesterday. This is the first tlme the locals have had the oppor- tuhlty to cavort on a regulation sized court and the sensation was highly enjoyed. The team work on a large court is much better. allowing the op- en style of play that is used so suc- cessfully by the faster teams of the country. The team work of the To- calls has always been marked and their speed in handling the ball on the new regulation sized court is blinding. The smaller court at the Y. M. C. A. ham pered fast team work and tended to crowd the players. The practice spp the larger sized court will be of in calculable value as the Little Rock court is exactly according to regula- tions and the locals would be at de- cided disadvantage if they entered the tournament unfamiliar with a regula- tion sized court.
 They will journey to Monticello Fri day where they will meet the Monti- cello Aggies for the second time this season. The Farmers" proved easy the last time and it is freely predict ed that the "Hi" boys will have little trouble in tanning them again. The record of the locals is unsettled so far and Coach Osborne and his men are determined that the Farmers" shall not. leave a smear on it. Although this is their first journey from the natice heath, they are expected to play as fast if not faster game than at home and if the Aggies expect the locals to pull off a balloon ascension they will be 'jist leetle off in their aimings." The Monticello coach made the claim when he was here before that if the locals would meet his "plow pushers' on mutual court there would be little doubt but that his men would be greasy with the bacon, so the locals will beard the "rusties" in their den Friday night.
 This will be the last game on the local schedule before the tournament which will be held on the 9th and 7th of March. Coach Osborne hasn't an- nounced who will make the trip to Monticello yet besides his regular quintet.
