Old Rivals to Meet.

rivalry exists between them. Dur
ing the past few years, whenever
these two quintets have met, the
battles usually went into extra pc
RODS.

dist Episcopal fves are evenly
matched and former teammates will
oppose each other on the floor to-
night. Weiser, former Drake uni
versity star at forward, and Howard,
formerly a star at Parson college,
will be seen at the center position
for the Calvary Baptists.
However, the games between the
Pearl Methodist Episcopal and the

dist Episcopal and Trinity Baptists,
should not be missed, as the man
ayers of these teams state that a
big surprise is in store for the fans.
Officials for tonight's contests are:
Verne Moore, referee; Noble, UNI
Fire; William O. Blozies, timekeep-
er, and David Hubby, scorer.
