TURNER'S SHARPEN
BASKET EYES.
Capt. Rice called his Turner's out last
night for a practice game against a
fast amateur team and, after twenty
minutes of fast going, the squad seemed
as fresh as they were before starting.
Three practice sessions this week have
caused a noticeable improvement in the
teamwork of the south siders and Hen
nessey and Rice have been hitting the
rings from the difficult angles of the
floor.
The huskies from the North American
Gymnastic Union, giving the splendid
record Of the Turner's due consideration,
have also put in several hours of prac-
tice since their exhibition game with the
En- Roes last week, and they believe
they have enough speed to lower the
colors Of the Turner outfit. Capt. Seel-
back, who has been wearing the Red
and White uniform since 1917, will be
relied upon to keep a line on Johnny

the basketball game here last night in

of years.
Indiana was somewhat weak on It's

Of liberality he wrinkled the brow Of

that the clicking Of the turnstiles will

others, like Garry Hermann, chief OF the
