HIGH SCHOOL To
PLAY BASKETBALL
Football Season Ends With
WinOna Aggie Game-New
Quintet to be Formed With
Only One Regular.

With but one more game left on the
football schedule. eyes Of sport low
ers at the high school are turning
toward indoor branches Of athletics.
Following the Winona "Aggte"
game this week. il is expected that
Coach NetZler will issue his call for
basketball candidates, in anticipation
OF hard schedule.
Another reason for an early call IS
the fact that Metzler will have 20 de-
velop an entire new team, without
the aid of a single veteran. Allen,
Forster, Nanden Bosch. Staples. Cot
trell and Elbel, the regulars OF last
wear graduated in June and left the
squad without the aid OF an old timer
Capt. William Fernandez is the only
man who played on the first squad
last year and who will be back in
school Art Bacon quit school az the
close Of the baseball season last year
and will probably not return FOR bas-
ketball.
Fernandez is a fast. heady. player
and although very light should make
a star man under competent coach
ing. He fitted well into the team
work of the squad last year, and is
expected to prove more valuable By
virtue OF this training. He will play
forward.
Who his teammates at the other
forward position will be is the cause
of much speculation. Scott. Hagerty
and Sullivan are the men who viii
combat for the place. Scott is fast
and was q member of the second team
last year. He should develop into
as speedy a man as Allen or Kirby.
Hagerty was a CO-worker OF Scott on
the second squad last year. and has
picked up considerable experience on
oil FOO nd oh "a nfrr
squads. Sullivan is fast and fits well
into the team play OF any squad.
Besides these men there are a hest
OF in1erclass stars who made good
showings in the tournament and viii
be given a tryout for first squad
places. The most promising Of these
candidates are Engdahl Sousley and
Miller.
The position of center is also hang
ing fire. 1t is probable that Danny
Whiteman will be the man finally Sc
lected TO succeed Forster at the pivot
point Whiteman was the regular
center for the second team and star
red as a member of the winning jun
Tor squad I'm the tournament He viii
be given a hard fight, however, 10y
Garfield, Davis and Andrus.
There is every indication that the
guards of the second team last year
will be graduated 10 places on the
SUD guard duty last year. and WITH
the experience gained then should
prove valuable cogs in the machine
to be turned out by Coach Metzler.
One OF the hardest schedules yet
booked for the high school basket
ballers is being prepared by Metzler.
The strong Lafayette team which
took the scalp of the locals III handy
fashion at Lafayette last year is al
ready slated for two games. one game
will be played at Lafayette and re-
turn game here. Kokomo, Crawfords-
vile, Mishawaka and perhaps Ro-
chester, teams which furnished the To-
Gals the hardest contests last year viii
probably be selected by Coach Metz
Ter 10 round out his list of games. The
schedule has not been completed vet.
An Ohio and Chicago trip which
was deferred last year may be arrang-
ed by the local authorities. Some
strong dOWnstate aggregations are
are also billed to perform here.
