DOUBLE BILL FRIDAY NIGHT
WHEN C. H. S. CACERS CLASH
WITH POST FIELD OUTFIT

What promises to be the best
1fckering uncorked on the local
court this season is scheduled for
the high school gym Friday night at
8 o'clock when the Chickasha bas-
keteers meet the strong quintet Of
the 4th Aero Squadron Post field.
The Flyers have tAken into camp
completely and successfully all other
clans of cagers essaying to cop any
1aurels in the basket ball line at
Post field, and not only that but
have stepped over into the artillery
camps of Fort Sill and have grabbed
off a few victories just to show
that they had acquired the winning
habit.
From any angle, it looks like Fri
day nights game yHr5il be a corker
and that the basketeers who have
been under the Gardner membership
this year will have to extend them
selves to the ultimate notch of
speed in order to put anything over
the lads from the flying school.
Chickasha, from present prospects
will go into the game in as good
shape as in any game this season

flattening out, and this circum-
stance, together with the machine
landing in tree and telephone

when, with Hicks Riley of Pine
Bluff as passenger, he "lost
altitude" by dropping 5000 feet.
Mr.. Terry plans to resume fly
ing as soon as he can get another
ship, he informed Mr.. Riley over
the telephone short while
