 line following is a list of the men lel Wheeler, William Meyers, Raf Lane, Everett Brotherton, Joseph T9th' I%t1 1Iio, Ted Anderson, Henry Burr, Frank Carroll, Arthur J. Bennett and William A. KfnSella.
 The squad will be made up entirely or amateurs and no semi-pros or pro- fessiona1 men will be used.

Some | Of the fastest amateur teams in the l vicinity will be played as well as a l great number of the Legion post | teams.
 The opening game will be played | Saturday night at the Legion hall | when the local boys will clash with
 the Wakeman Memorials of South l port. The Wakeman Memorial team
 has been successful for three seasons,
 having met with defeat only four | times As Southport has always been i a friendly rival of Fairfield in other | fields of sport the same spirit will ex- tst during the basketball season.
 The star players of the Wakeman | team are Russell and Mills. These | two players have been members of
 the same team for the past three
 years and the Southporters feel con-
 fdent of winning the first game with
 the playing of the two above men, 1 toned players. Despite the fact that
 the Legion team is green" the
 Southporters will find their match | One thing in favor of the local boys | is that they outweigh the Wakemans | The Legion Hall has been com pletely changed to make way for the | basketball players but the change will
 in no way interfere with the use of l the hall for outside activities. The | court will be enclosed in a heavy net | ting to protect the spectators, and the
 lights have all been caged with a | heavy wire netting.
 The basketball cages are on remov- able back boards and the court has been completely nrorked out. The Legion has undergone a great expense
 in rennovating the hall for basketball and it is the hope of she ex-service Il boys that the people of the town will see fit to back them up in their en- | ter sports.
 Dancing will follow all the games and as pre+war prices will prevail a larEA attendance is expected from the town, Jim Francis orchestra will furnish music for dancing and will entertain beTween the games.
