HIGH SCHOOL TO

Tan and Blue Quintet viii
Journey TO the Celery

For the arst and only lime tn

amazoO was the team that defeated
the gridiron men in the anal con
test OF the season. and the net men
are anxious TO make good for this
by registering a defeat to the Kala-
mazoo crew in basketball
Last season also the celery city
men took the locals over in the net
game. but the tan and blue had not
nit their proper stride when they
tackled the Kalamazoo men. The
Ka1Oos had some sturdy stock in
their football eleven, and from the
way they played last season, Coach
Burnham's five wall probably face
their hardest game of the season.

football squad stands out as one or

Well Balanced Team.
The high school has one Of the
best balanced teams that has repre-
scented the school in years, and
should by all means put up a first
class scrap at Kalamazoo that will
bring home the bacon. The pecu-
liar gym that the celery city men
play in is a big disadvantage to the
Burnhamites. One basket seems 10
be like those hanging baskets that
are seen on the verandas, that when
the wind whistles it moves the bas-
ket Any way this seems to have
been the experience of the squad
last season. For when they shot, it
seemed that the basket moved away
from the ball.
At the forward berths are Capt.
Wedel and Nyikos, these men work
together as if they were one while
as their inbetwesn man is Haas.
This man at center has a wicked
jump and although entirely new to
the game is developing into a first
class pilot Then that wonderful
pair of guards that Burnham has,
Scheer and O'Dell are most impos-
sible TO pass.
