NAT GLASSNAN
WILL LEAD THE
BULLDOG CREW
Popular and Fleet Footed
Forward Elected Captain
Of High School Basket
ball Quintet This Year

Nathaniel Glassman will lead
the High school basketball team
throughout the present season..
The popular little senior was elect
ed to the basketball captaincy in
a meeting of the Bulldog squad
held Yesterday afternoon in theI
High school gymnasium. Elecnoh
was by unanimous vote.
Glassmans election was predict
cd several days ago. In fact II
has appeared probable since the|
close Of the football season. Glass
man was the logical choice. a
strong leader, sound basketball
player, letter man for two years
past and q senior, he appeared TO
be the ideal man for the post
Though nOminally a forward,
Glassman's forte Is IN defensive
play. He lines up at forward but'
shortly after the tipoff slides over
to defense, while Malcolm Long
slips into forward play from ms
guard position. So successtul was
Glassman in preventing the oppo-
sition from scoring goals last year
that he was selected for guard on
the All State team. ~
The new. captain is a speedster'
In a sprint he can show his heels
TO most high school track men
Of the state and on a basketball
floor he IS even faster than over
the cinders. Added to his speed Is
q natural shift, which gives MN
The advantage over a player who
needs to set in order to get under
way. With his speed and agility
combined, Glassman makes an
ideal running guard.
1t is possible that the sterling
football play Glassman showed
throughout the past season mas
had some bearing on his selection,
though his basketball ability alone
would warrant it. In football he
was the most consistent ground
gamer on the Bulldog eleven. In
the pinch it was usually Glassman
who was called upon and in that
magnificent victory over Ell Paso
Glassman played an important
mart. In fact had the umpire been
a trifle closer to the play when
yiassman and Dawson came down
with a forward pass it is quite pos
sihle the new basketball captain
would have headed Ell Paso OIL
from the second touchdown.
CAPTAIN Glassman will lead his
Bulldogs in their first offensive
one week from tomorrow. Friday,
December 20 the Bulldogs will
clash with the aggressive Bankers.
The game will be played in the
High school gymnasium. The FOL
lowing Friday, December 70, tne
Bulldogs will meet the strong Har-
ward school five, the team when
defeated the Bankers Tuesday
night.
HIGH school games, and most Oh
The other local games Of the sea-
son as well, will be played in the
High school gymnasium. Rental
of the armory is SO high that the
High school management mas de-
cided to play most games at nome
In order to accommodate the
crowds which are certain to attena
the games, bleachers will pc m
stalled in the High school gym
nasium. The bleachers which are
now at Washington park Will be
brought in and used for this pur-
nose. With these bleachers there
will be seating accommodations
for 500 people.
Wilbur Wilson and Malcolm
Long will start the opening game
at the guard positions. wilson,
great. powerful boy, possesses agll-
ity which is truly remarkable III
lad or his bulk. With his power
and agility he makes a splendiu
anchor guard, a fit running mate
for the speedy Glassman.
Malcolm Long will probably De
looked to as principal point gath
arer OF the season. This lean,
1.-THE youth appears. to possess the
same uncanny faculty for tossing
the ball through the iron hoop as
he has for snaring forward passes
on football field.
Creighton Foraker will occupy
the pivot position. Acres as ne
ia known, is what a Hibernian
would term IN grand lepper. lie
can take the tip-off from most CEN
4ers. REGARDLESS of team class, ana
when he comes back down to the
floor can slip about the majority.
Few he has met have been able TO
hold him off. .

tain. Bryce and Renfro are going
in great style and win make some
of the regulars "step out and take
notice" in order to hold their
berths. Hammond and Jordan Q
both making good at running
guard, while Stort2 is showing
strong forward game.
Perhaps the most pleasing lea-
ture of the showing of the Bulldog
SQUAD to date is the play OF Jimmy
Roybal. Very few would attempt
10 deny that on the gridiron Jimmy
proved himself one of the greatest
tossers Of forward passes ever
turned out by High school eleven
And he appears to have carried his
ability in handling the ball from
the gridiron to the basket court,
II he continues at the pace he Is
now travelling Jimmy may get the
cali for that other forward position.
