to the crowd that Is expected to

The Roosevelt Separates and the

doubt two of the best senior outfits
in the entire state and in view of
the intense rivalry existing between
these two clubs a closely contested
game is anticipated. The game to-
morrow Is the first OF a series ar

tions.
Just how the two teams will line
up is not definitely known but a
rrief comparison of the individual
players discloses the fact that the
result of the game will hinge upon
the team work displayed by each
quintet and it is quite probable that
the difference in points between the

will be able to be counted upon one
hand.
