The outlook for a very successful
basket ball season is very bright and
judging from material already avail
able there will be some closely con-
tested and we'll played games.
1t is likely that a nominal fee will
be charged for all local games in
the Senior League to help in de-
frayins the expense of bringing out
of town teams to Bogalusa. 1t is
hoped that several good games can
be booked and the local players are
already working hard so as to de-
serve the support of the public. 1t
is predicted that the ladies will be
out in large numbers to cheer their
favorite teams and urge them on to
victory.
