WHITING TEAMS
SHOW REAL CLASS
IN GAMES To DATE
WOODLANDS and Calumets
10 Be Their Next OPP
ponents.

Whiting Red Circle basket han
teams will go out after their fourth
straight wins Wednesday evening
when the heavyweights will hook
UP with the fast going Calumet A
= rive, and the iightweights take
on the WOODLANDS of Chicago in
what promises to be one Of the
fastest preliminary games Of the
year.
Considerable interest is being
shown by Whiting fans in the ra
pid Development of two good teams
at Whiting which are composed en-
tirely OF local athletes. Many said
at first, 1t can't be done. but now
that it is being done, the wiseacres
are readily admitting it, and are
nov getting behind the project with
d win. The prospect Of a heavy
weight team which VIII compare
favorably with the strongest that
Whiting has ever had IS cause fer
real rejoicing among fans. who are
now looking forward to the time
when the schedule viii include the
best teams that Lake County in par
ticular and Indiana IN general af-
ford The defeat of the fast going
Boosters OF Gary who in turn took
the Hammond Colonials into camp
was considerable of a surprise to
fans about the county who have
expressed themselves as believing
that Whiting didn't have much
this year. However, a start has
just been made, and those who are

the limit to give Whiting the best
that basketball affords.
Much interest is being displayed
in the showing of the local bows
and those fans who to date have
been rather doubtful and have not
as yet showed up at any or the
games to get acquainted will do
night and come up to community
gym. where a pleasant surprise lays
in store for them. To date the
selection of the first squad is not
complete inasmuch as there Is some
mighty good king talent who have
been working out with the reserves
and who will IN all probability be
shunted over to the heavyweight
squad for an opportunity to show
what they can do. Thiessen, who
is purely q home product is repidly
regaining his stride and condition
and right now stands out as one
OF the best all-round players that
has ever been developed in this sec
ton OF the state. and IN the word s
of the whiting coach, he would be
a mighty valuable man to the best
University teams in the country.
Eggers, who is another Whiting
product looks mighty sweet to those
who know the game, inasmuch as
he has shown real class In his posi-
ton at guard, where he has made
the Whiting defense alright, and
a mighty tough problem for the op-
nosinE teams to solve. Calvin, who
