back in Nebraska they had bicycle
patrol, and this patrol was equipped

permanent membership with us. i,
Captain Dan Turner reports good
practice of the basketball squad last

troop in the city. There will be no
basketball practice this week, as tho

but we will be there 100 per cent
strong and doing our dead-lcvcl best.
