READY FOR GAMES
Toothman Sends Out Bull
Ietin on Basketball
Meet in Feb.
BY LARRY

Sandy Toothman, the busiest
man In Fairmont during the winter
months, has sent out notices to the
high school leaders in the Monon'
gahela Valley in regard to the third
annual Monongahela Valley High
School Basketball tournament
which will be held in the Normal
school February 24-25. Toothman
wants the schedules which are ar
ranged at the meeting at Grafton
on Saturday to be fixed so that
there will be no hard games right
before the big tournament here.
This annual affair at the Normal
school Is highly interesting to the
basketball fans OF this city. In fact
tho most exciting basketball OF the
year is staged during these games
especially during the afternoon and
evening of the final day when the
race narrows down gradually to
the two teams who fight it out for
the championship.
The same rules and regulations
that governed the tournament the
last two years will be in effect this
time. 1t is expected that there will
be more interest than ever in the
event this trip, and a record for
attendance will very likely be
shattered.
While the basketball season will
not get under way properly unit!
the Christmas season, the players
and fans are getting in tune for
the great floor game. 1t is only a
little over three weeks until Xmas
and this time will soon slip
around.
