BRACE Of LOOP
CANES ARE: ON
FOR WEEK END
Bulldogs viii Clash With
HarWood at High School
Tomorrow Night; Bankers
and BeIen at Y, Saturday

That basketball has taken its
place in the center of the cage is
indicated in the fact that two big
games are on for this week end.
Tomorrow night Coach Addison
Moore will send his Albuquerque
High school Bulldogs against their
I old rivals of the Harwood Boys
school. This game will be started
at p. m, sharp, in the High
| school gymnasium. The following
night, Saturday, the husky Eank-
! ers and the recently organized Be-
: len Independent quintet will meet
on the Y. NJ, c. A. floor. This
game also will be started at 8
/ p, m.
The Friday night game is the
one which the fans are looking TO
most eagerly at present. After
that is off their hands they will
turn to the other one.
Fridays game is certain to be a
tough one. Last year the Bulldogs
and HarwOod clashed three times.
Each time Coach Addison Moore's
High school boys emerged trium-
phant. But each time the game
was bitterly contested throughout
and report has it that in two of
the games an additional period
was necessary to decide. In none
of the games was the margin Of
the Bulldogs wide.
For the game tomorrow night
Harwood will have the same line
UP as played last year. And these
boys hope to gain sweet revenge
for the trouncings administered
last year.
On the face of 1t Harwood has
the decided edge. Harwood nosed
out the Bankers in a game played
about two weeks ago. And Albu-
querque High school fans would
prefer to forget all about the way
Pegue, Gilbert g. Co. romped over
the Bulldogs last Friday night.
However, remembering and figur-
ing comparative strength from the
two games played, the odds GER
tainly favor Harwood.
But there is one vital factor to
be seriously considered in the game
Friday night. That factor is per-
sonified in the lean, sinewy NAL
com Long, leading point gatherer
for the Bulldogs a season ago and
expected to assume the same role
this year.
Long was not in the game
against the Bankers. Had he been
in it is possible, just possible,
that the result would have been
otherwise. Wilbur Wilson, strong
est Bulldog on defense, was also
out and with both men at the far end
of the floor it certainly disrupts
the team play. With the best bas-
ket maker and one of the two best
floor players also out any team
is laboring under a handicap be-
yond the ordinary.
Even with Long back tonight Il
is far from certain the Bulldogs
will blot out their defeat by the
Bankers through conquering the
conquerors of the Coin Gatherers.
But it is certain that the Bulldogs.
will be a much stronger quintet
than week ago; strong enough
to assure another of those hectic
battles such as the two teams
played last season.
The game OF saturday night also
promises plenty of action. The
Bankers have proved that they
have power, sufficient power to
deal out world OF misery to any
team they meet. They are going
strong now and will take some
Belen's strength IS not definitely
known. But enough has been
learned TO warrant the belief the
team will show far more than the
ordinary power This team Isl
composed entirely of former COL
lege stars, according to renort and
has been practicing together for
the past two weeks.
The Bankers will probably line
up Saturday night as follows. Pc
