LOCAL HIGH QU|NT
TO PLAY SATURDAY
VIII Meet Winchester Team
AT The Y. NJ. C. A. Gym.

This coming Saturday night the
High School basketball team will
make its third appearance before a
home crowd in the Y gym. 1t was
AN unfortunate part of the schedule
that the local boys had to have so
many foreign games early In the
season, as this took them to strange
floors before they were well season
cd. However, it will be remembered
that the boys have not lost a game
on the home floor, defeating both Old
Dominion Academy and Shepherd
College in well played games.
This Saturday night the High
School boys will meet the fast-going
team from Winchester High School
This team is composed Of veterans
of the old scout team which used to
play the scout team at the Y. The
Virginia lads have an unbroien rec
ord of victories.
On the last weeks trip the boys
lost both games to Waynesboro and
ChamberSburg by rather large scores
OF course, it Is to be understood that
the floors in those places are hard to
play on due to their smalIness of
size and lOwness of ceiling arrange
ment. 1t was to be expected that
they lose, yet sure victory is look
ed forward to this coming Saturday
night.
Previous to this game there will
be one of the exciting inter-class
games by the girls of the high
school. Just which ones will play
cannot be determined at present as
j. is not quite definitely known what
girls will compose the team that will
go to Chambersbure Friday night to
play the Chambersburg girls.
