SEES BUSY WEEK
AHEAD ON COURT
Local Basketeers to Hook Up With
Pocasset Tonight and Will Meet
Shawnee Here Friday In Con-
ference Game.

The G. II. S quintet Of leather
twirlers have IA busy week before
them il they run according to sche-
dule. They are to meet the Pocaaset
aggregation tonight at Pocasset, and
Friday night will mark their first
conference game, when their caging
ant will be matched with that OF
the Shawnee high school basket tail
team.
A game with Pocasset was arrang-
ed in answer TO challenge from
Coach Southwark. In fact, not to
play the Pocasset squad would seem
nothing less than being afraid Of
tho bunch and the boys said they
wanted it clearly understood that
they were afraid of no team that
has or will engage in the game of
basketball this year
Although not a conference game,
the battle between c, II. S. and Po-
casset high promises to be a lively
one. According to dope" the Po-
casset team has not been beaten
this year out of four or five starts
while the locals can truthfully boast
OF like standing.
a game on the Chickasha court
has been arranged with Poclsset
for Wednesday night, January 81.
From all obtanable information
bearing on the subject, it is learned
that Sh1wnee also boasts an un-
beaten team. Reports state that
Shawnee conquered Guthrie high
warriors and that the latter have
whipped the Anadarko Indians,
which team met with an oyerwhem-
ing defeat at the hands of the local
squad here some time ago This
order Of things seems to indicate
that there will be a real bloody
clash when Chickasha meets the
Shawnee bunch at the Senior high
school gymnasium Friday night in
the first conference game.
In speaking of the prospects for
an all-victorious team this morning,
Coach Powers stated that the out
look was rather promising. He re
marked that the present players had
been developed through experience
en- the court and that with such good
material as Fields and DeWese as
forwards; Green at center; Smith
and Adams at guards; and with
Driskill Richardson, Washburn, Ellis
and Hanson to pick substitutes from,
. Chickasha has a pretty good cahnce
to keep the chain of victories UNI
broken and thereby gain the cham
