night, the Potters probably will finish down

Greystock without the services Of Allie
McWilliams the brilliant guard, who was
injured in the Jasper game on Thursday
night completely outclassed the POtters at
Cooper Battalion Hall and won an easy
victory by the score Of 3S TO %. While
Grcystock played a surprisingly strong
game, its easy triumph was due more to
the sleepy, Indifferent work Of Trenton
than to It's own briliancy.
Winnie KinCaid. the veteran guard. who
was traded to Trenton, but refused to re-
port, was in GreystoClis lineup, he having
been purchased yesterday afternoon, and
