Rx BRYAN MORSE,

Business and Western are furnish
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
season by reason of the fact that
several veterans are numbered on
both fives.
Capt. Carl Glessner, guard on the
Business team, Bill Culligan and
Buck Wise, the forwards are hold
overs from last season, while Wass-
mann is the only newcomer in the
Business lineup. Milloff, who play
ed substitute guard to Ray Wise on
last years team, has been in action
against the Western team before,
having played in the game at the
Armory last year.
Raymond Peck. who held the school
boy record last year in basket shoot
ing, is captain of the Western team
and is playing center this season.
Lester Peine is at lett forward. his
old position last season. stuart smith,
Ttaht forward, WAS second string
player last season, but has played
against Business before. Richard Sar-
Eeant and John Whelchel played part
of the season last year. 1t was Sar-
Eeant's ability in keeping Culligan
covered in the tinal game for the title
all
Both Business and Western have
played in two regular contests this
winter. Western defeated AleXandrla
High School by 81 to a. and Friends
by SO to 20. Business won out over
Gonzaga by e to 20 and defeated
Friends by 80 to 50. A comparison of
the teams on the two battles played
would tend to shcw that. Business Is
a better scoring machine. but that
Western has something on the Busi-
ness players when ii comes to keep
ing down the scoring.
The game is expected to draw one
OF the biggest crowds in the history
Of schola site basketball in this city,
Last year at the two title games III
which these teams played standing
room was at premium. James
hughes Is down to referee the con-
test and Fred Rice will umpire.

holidays the 1t. Adams school lads
