The management Of the Covington
basket ball teams announces the
beginning Of practice Monday. No
vember 8. Prospects for the three
winning teams are bright, and the
loyal fans may look forward with con-
fidence and assurance that the teams
of this year will be as good or better
than the teams that represented Cow
ington last year. A schedule is being
made that will include the strongest
teams in West Tennessee and there
fore nothing but the best will be Of
fered to the fans this year.
1t will be recalled that only one
game was lost last year by the boys
team, on the local court. Such hus-
kies as Mcbride. Whitley, Moose, +.
Parker, W. Moore, Teddy" Moore,
Miller. G. Owen and others should de-
velop into a team that would equal
or even surpass the enviable record
made by the same team during
1919-1920.
Although handicapped by the loss
of five first string men from last
years team, the ones in charge OF
the boys team of Byars-HalI High
School confidently expect to develop
team that will rank among the best
in West Tennessee. With Gracey,
Rose, Upton Newman, Wiley, Cren-
shaw and wealth of new material
from which to pick a team, the man
agement believes that another win
ming team will represent Byars- Hall
High School this year.
A lot of interest is being shown in
girls basket ball. and there is no
doubt but what the team will rank
with the best in this section. Those
who are expected to make trial for
the team are Pennel, D. Wright, R.
Wright,M. w. Smith, Bailey, McClan-
ahan and number Of others.
To those who have supported the
teams in the past. the management
assures you that nothing but the
very best games will be offered and
they confidently solicit your continu-
ed support of the teams,
To those who have not supported
this school enterprise in the past, the
management asks that the teams be
given the same support as was given
the baseball team during the summer,

Taking the Republican landslide in

metropolitan newspapers, among them
those which had staunchly supported

Harding early in the evening. There
were then no figures to assure It, or
to give assurance that the sudden

Hughes into election for Wilson

managers early in the night pro-
fessed confidence that the votes from

liean managers continued to issue
predictions Of victory,
AS the landslides in the East con-
tinued to roll down, however. and the
first indications came that it would

some hurried communication from
Gov. Cox at Dayton and the Demo-
