at Community gym on Saturday
evening and showed some real oas-

edge on the Blue Island team, but
the latter Ave have been putting UP
a very much improved game and

Hammond girls a hard tlssle for
supremacy.
Ono OF the largest crowds OF tho

games and preparations are being
made to take care OF all. The
