 Coach Osborn while he is no un- duely optomistic is calmly confident and says barring accidents and ill luck his bunch stands an equal show with any team in the state. He says that luck might break against him in the early stages of the tournament and prevent the locals making a good showing.

The only thing that will probably hinder their mak- ing a championship showing will be nervousness. This is the first time the locals have ever participated in a tournament and the nervous strain might make their work on the floor cratic.
 Those members of the team who will represent the local Hi at the tournament are Freelin Christopher, Dewoody Lyle and James McGaughy forwards; Ed Howell and Doc Mccain centers, Leo Nichol, Don Quinn, Roe Brewster and Hartel Toney, guards.
