Nappanee high will oppose the
local high quintet this afternoon at
the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium, begin
ming at $3.50 o'clock. The game is
in a way the official high school
opening of the season for the locals,
while Nappanee has met and con-
ouered near a dozen teams from
the middle section Of the state.
Sweeney will occupy the pivot job
for the tan and blue squad, as Harry
Donovan was ruled out by the ath-
letic board Of the high school for
ineligibility, on account of his
scholastic work He was ineligible
for football the past season and is
therefore kept out Of basket ball IN
til the close of the semester, Jan.
u. Eddie O'Donnell and Sousley
will occupy the forward jobs, while
Smith and ZillIy will do guard duty.
Expect Hard Fight.
Several of the visiting lads were
members of the down state quintet
last season, and the high roOtccs
dc not consider the game as won.
With Donovan out the team is con-
siderably handicapped, though
Sweeney is able TO perform in cred
liable shape Makielski and Cocho-
vety will be kept on the sidelines
ready to rush into the fray any
minute.
Price, center on the Nappanee
five is a man of exceptional ability.
as he was the star Of the visitors
fire last season when they succumb-
ed TO the locals attack. The d wn
staters are looked TO take the meas
ure Of the locals, for they have been
playing some time.
Curtain Raiser.
As a curtain raiser to the main
attraction of the day, the local sec
ond high team will tackle the He'll
ers from the Y. NJ. Commercial
league. and a good game is prom
ised. The Heller lads have been
through a hard season so far in
the league schedule, while the local
second team tOssers are handicapped
by the loss of ever playing together
before.
Donovan, the deposed center of
the first squad, will probably jump
at the tip-off position, while Kelly
and Mohn will pair at the forward
berths. Bone" Parks will be sta
toned at one guard, while the other
lies between Olsen, Cunningham and
Burner.
