ing the real excitement tomorrow
afternoon at the Arcade when they
get together in their first game
in the Interscholastic Basketball
League. Followers Of the floor
game here have generally conceded
these teams to be the pick OF the
schoolboy talent at this stage of the

Business team, Bill Culligan and
Buck Wise, the forwards are hold
overs from last season, while Wass-

last years team, has been in action

having played in the game at the
Armory last year.
Raymond Peck, who held The school
boy record last year in basket shoot
ins. is captain Of the Western team
and is playing center this season
Lester Pcinc is at lett forward. his
old position last season. stuart Smith.
li2ht forward WAS a second string
player last season, but has played
against Business before. Richard Sar-
gcant and John Wbelchel played part
Of the season last year. 1t was Gar
Eeant's ability in keeping Culligan
covered in the tinal game for the title
last season that allowed Western to
win.

played in two regular contests this
winter Western defeated -\leNandria
High School by Ga to IA. and Friends
