BASKET BALL
By Albert Hotchkins

Vashon high school has four re-
naming games in the league, all
of them on the home floor.
There was some talk of drop
ping from the league because of
lack of finances, but the Vashon
high school athletic association
has decided to see it through.
The school has pledged to help
in all ways possible. This will be
possible of course only with the
support of the community. To
make it more convenient for the
public we have issued season
ticket that will entitle you to at
tend the four remaining games.
the price being sixty cents per
season ticket.
The games are scheduled thus
Friday, Feb. l, Richmond Beach
Friday, Feb. Is, open date.
Friday, Feb. %, Enumclaw.
Friday, Feb. 80, Renton.
The team has now completed
the more strenuous part of the
season and with lot of fight and
the community and school spirits
support ought to prove a far
more dangerous opponent. There
will also be preliminary games as
curtain raisers for most of the
games.
One of the things a community
is judged by is its school enthusi-
assn. Show community spirit and
support the team.
Vashon's probable lineup is:
l.. F., Johnny King; r.. f., Dayton
Depue; c., Arthur Larsen; r. G..
Rocco Okobo; l.. g., Ike Scales.
Substitutes, "Don' llevenseller
