SCHOOL READY /"
TO MEET GRADS
FRIDAY At "Y''
Both Teams Expecting to Win Con.
test-Alumni Has Edge ON
High Men.

Basketball fans In this locality
will have the chance to view one
of the best battles ever pulled off
in these parts tomorrow night when
the high school meets the alumni
in the first. game of the season.
The contest will be played in the
Y. M. c. A. gym and hard fight
is expected.
The alumni squad this year is
the strongest that has ever repre-
scented that organization. 1t is
probable that there will be five
all-tournament men on the floor
for the grads throughout the game.
and As they have been practicing
for some time a good battle is an
ticipated from the old-timers. In
Al Tabor. Mier Morris. and proba-
bly, e. Tabor, the grads have q trio
Of forwards that never miss. Each
Of these men were picked for the
all-tournament team while In high
school and haven't weakened since
they graduated. At center the
alumni have two all-star men, Lee
Dempsey and Paul Anderson, both
Of whom are shining lights at that
position. Dick Dopp and Heinie
Heimbeck will probably start at
the guards. These men played to-
gether two years ago at high and
anticipate holding the high to no
baskets. -..s-
In spite Of the above display OF
stars, the high school is determin-
ed to cop a victory. From the re-
suit Of some of the practice scrim-
images against the seconds. one
would conclude that they have a
good chance. On Tuesday evening
the high school played a practice
game with the Oak Grove church
and were victors by the score of 81
to Is in a contest in which the high
school had everything its own way
Last night a short scrimmage wat
held at the Y and tonight a long
signal drill and basket shooting
were on the program in the high
school gym.
Lineup Doubtful. -.
Just who will start for the higl
school is still in doubt. 1t il
thought. probable that Henke will
start at center, as his dislocatet
arm is healed now. At forwards
there are Dizotell and Parks an,
Lofgren. all Of whom are of frs
team calibre. Coach Kimmel rha
good guard material in Duffin, Oil
weller and Milstead, but of thes
three who will start is uncertain.

Tri-city boxing fans will crowd
into the Empire rink tonight to see
Tony Caponi and Sapho McKenna
travel through 10 rounds Of mill
ing. This bout should prove one
OF the best ever staged In Rock
Island from the standpoint Of will
ingness on the part of the contest
ants to give the best that is in
them.
And this is a whole lot. Each
boy is In the boxing game because
he loves it, and questions of terms
and the like never bother them.
Tony and Saph entertain a whole
some respect for the ability Of each
other, but this won't prevent them
from going strong in an effort to
gain a decisive victory.
The fans will see in McKenna q
miniature edition of the famed Mike
Gibbons. who for two years has
had the youngster in charge. Mike
has impaired ell Of his knowledge
Of the game gained through years
Of hard battling with the best men
In the middleweight division, and
it Is said that Sapho's style is so
similar to that of Gibbons that were
it not for the difference in weight
he would prove q direct reproduc-
ton Of Mike in the ring.
There is no question but what
McKenna packs a terrible wallop.
Up around st. Paul he has taken
on boys In the lightweight division
and put them to, sleep. If he lands
his haymaker tonight it may mean
curtains for the Rock Island freak.
But then that IF" can't be left out
because Tony is one Of the hardest
men In the game for anyone to hit
squarely. This on account of his
freak style Of boxing. No matter
how many Aimes he goes against
the same boy. his opponent has
never been able to solve the pecu-
liar jumping attack.
Gilmore Favored.
Gilmore is the favorite over Sum-
mers In the semi-windup. This
rugged fighter from st. Louis has
a reputation for wading in and set
thing things In hurry. Summers
is numbering sort Of fellow that
likes to lay back and take q chance
on landing . wallop now and then.
When he leads his punches do not
have the power. However, the az
fair should prove hardly less in
teresting to the bugs than the main
60.
Young Powell and Kid Cutie
should provide four rounds Of fast
milling In the second preliminary.
Both boys are always willing to
stand up and slug. The first prelim
will bring Arthur Blaser and Young
Meyers together for four rounds
that ought to put the fans on edge
for the bouts to follow.
