Under the watchful eye of Coach l.
T. Jones, the John Marshall High
school basketball squad started prac-
ticing yesterday afternoon in the gym
for the game next Friday night with
the Maury High school basketers
Although the Marshallites are very
much elated over their victory satur-

they will be subjected to some hard
workouts from now until Thursday,
when only a light signal drill will be
on the program. The Blue and White
lads won a clean-cut victory over the
Norfolk outfit and they feel confident
that they will be able to administer
the visitors a drubbing here Friday.
In tho event the Marshallites win
this game they will have to capture
only one more contest to qualify for
participation in the state preparatory
championship series. The elimination
process will start after next week, and
the final game will be staged at the
University Of Virginia, In Charlottes-

Over-confidence lost the champion

thing they have into the game. The
contest here next Friday should be a
good one from start to finish.

he could win by a knockout. Fulton
had an agreement with the promoter
