1--WE need n good coach but one who
has business interests. so rhat he will find
It necessary to devote only Il part Of his

coach and we want II big man for the
Job, but one with other interests"

heders at the Germantown High School

many victories in the cage game this
season. Incidentally, this star forward
helped to defeat his old school in the re-
cent match played at Camden. Calvin
Bills, brother of the Pennington coach,
Is captain of the team. lie is very
capable and hcady leader.
The NorrIstown Intcrscholastcs will be
held on June 3, School track managers
are asked to post this date on their
schedule books, and are Informed that
more information will be coming from

local athletes will be able to take i'm the
Norristown meet for that reason. Trades
School and Germantown High will COM
pete with the three city high schools this
year and the meet can hardly be called,
