able to locate the basket when scores
were most needed.
During tho first seventeen minutes
of play it appeared that the game
would be closely contested. Both sides
wcre showing unusual speed ON the
offensive and defensive. But ut the
close OF the first half the Centennial
ties forwards were slowing down.
showing a lack of conditioning.
In statement last night Coach ket-
tering of tho northsido school physi-
cal department said: MY basket

withstand the speed of the contest al
ter tho first half They show plainly
that they have no, conditioned thcm-

tho star of tho contest lie possesses
tho unusual ability to place tho sphere

Ably assisted by Knobbs and Ally

almost at will.

The La Jupta quintet has not suf-
fcred defeat this season. According
to reports they have won their game
by virtue of the unusual large size of
their team members. Two members
OF their squad are reputed to weigh
considerably over 100 pounds.
When they meet the Indians, whose
lineup consists of such men as Nc
Giraw, Breckenridge, Talbot and Hop
l<ins they will be running against the
largest basket ball PLAYERS in Pueblo,
and probably in the state.
Considering that the fivcs will bo
