GERMANTOWN HIGH
Early Cage Practice Is Started
by Coach Davidson With
rs Candidates

THOUGH the scholastic football sea
l. son is just getting under way ant
the first basketball game Is two month.
of, Germantown High already ha.
started practice in the cage.
Workouts have been held two or thre,
times week at the Cliveden Schoo
for the last fortnight. Coach Harr,
davidson S idea is to have every stu
dent in the school who has any knowl
edge Of the game get chance. Fol
this reason he started practice almost
as soon rs school opened.
The five to represent the school there
fore will be in doubt until shortly
before the opening game.
Four teams have been in action and
few other candidates have been pranc
ing around the gymnasium.
There are eight men back from the
first and second teams of last wear,
They are King, Dieterle, Acuff, Laib
mann, Sewell, Rhymer, Gordon and
Harris.
First Team Picked
Out of this bunch. Rhymer and Cor
don were members of the first team.
At present Coach Davidson is using
Hagy and 1larris at forwards, King,
center, and Rhymer and Dieterle,
This quintet Is working nicely TO-
gether, but 1t does not necessarily mean
it will be the one to face Germantown s
opponent in the opening game.
The squad has increased at each
practice. On the first day about ten
men were on hand. The next il had
jumped to fifteen, and now it has
reached twenty five. and is still going,
Germantown has never cut a biz
figure in the cage. And this is why
davidson is anxious to bring out all
the material in school, test it and then
send the best against the rival teams.
A schedule, of nineteen games has
open. dates in the list. Central High
is the first opponent, The Mirrors
will be played December 5.
