The local high school team is con-
sidered as one of the strongest fives In
the state this year and its showing in
the games on Friday and Saturday
nights will show just how they rank
with the teams in this part of the
state. Davenport, last years state

what chances Ottumwa has for the
state honOrs.
The game between the Exiles and
Parsons college Saturday night will be
one of the fastest games played on the
local floor for some time. The Exiles
have made a wonderful record during
the past three years and are playing q
great game this season. Parsons is
considered as one of the best college
teams in Iowa and will fight hard as
1t has lost one game to the Exiles this
season.
The students are boosting for big
crowd for these two games and the
tickets are selling fast. The pep CON-
mittee, which has not been very active
during this basketball season will have
several stunts to put on.
