TEAMS TO PLAY
DOUBLEHEADER
GIRLS AND BOYS OF FAIRFIELD
MEET OTTUMWA SATURDAY
NIGHT.

The Fairfield girls and boys basket
ball teams will play double header
here Saturday night, with the local
girls and boys teams. The games were
scheduled for March 2, but owing to
the sickness Of several of the Ottum-
Wa athletics, were postponed until
Saturday.
Ottumwa is fairly confident of win.
ming both games, as they have already
beaten the Fairfield teams once this
season, when they played at Fairfield
on January 10. However, the locals are
not going to be defeated by overcon-
fidence, for Fairfield always puts up
mighty good game against Ottumwa.
The boys team will be considerably
strengthened by the return of Ward
Bell. the midget forward, who has
been confined by sickness for some
time. Bell had recovered before the
Fairfield tournament. but was still
feeling the effects Of his sickness. so
he was not allowed to play. He is
now working out and promises to
show his old pep Saturday night. The
entire team Is now in fine condition.
with the exception of Harold Murphy,
Fairfield, which always shows a
great amount of interest in its basket
ball teams, will be on hand with the
high school band and loyal bunch of
rooters.
