machine. Several new men ha'
among the leaders of these are
Chuck" Southern, Slim Gaskell
and Red" Webb. These men have
had lots of experience and will I'M
doubtedly cause keen competition for
the positions.
Each department throughout the
refinery is now forming plans to put
departmental teams into the running.
This will mean thai there will be
lots of basketball games in Parco
this winter and spirit will be run
ming high. The question is What
department has the best players?"
The Parco Athletic Association will
arrange a schedule for all these
games and 1t is now up to the men
of each department to get IL and
show what they've got in this line.
Arrangements are being made so that
the gymnasium can be used for prac-
tice during certain hours and on GER
tain days so that there will not be
any confiiction of the various teams
practicing. What does all this mean
to Parco's Championship prospects?
Thru this medium it is expected
that all of those who might other
wise not come out will report for
practice in some departmental team
and 1t win undoubtedly bring to light
many who will make competition on
the representative team more than
stiff" Even though you have lever
played the game this plan presents
an opportunity to you to get out and
take a hand in this popular game.
Perhaps it is the game you are most
suited for and before long your name
Will appear as "A star. In addition
to all those things it will give the
Parco Oil Cans, the representative
team of Parco. plenty of practice to
get In shape for the games that they
will have scheduled with outside
teams.
Already some of the departments
have begun to talk about the big
things their teams are going to do.
OF curse We don't want to mention
any names in this connection but
we will say that various represent
atives of the Pressure Still employ
ees are out after hat championship
of Parco and think that they have
the stuff. We give them credit for
their enthusiasm and wish them luck
but at the same time there are those
that are not going to hand 1t to
them on a silver platter. Neverthe-
less let this be sufficient warning
to you in the other departments that
tC conquer the department teams is
not going to be any snap and your
sure going to have to deliver the
stun before you get there.
At the present time there are sew
eral OF last years basketball squad
In Parco and they are all going out
for the team this year There are
also come new men springing up
who have signihed their plans to so
odt for this team and believe us
they are going to make some OF the
keenest competition you ever saw Tor
those much coveted positions. We
regret and will undoubtedly feel the
loss Of A%lberding from the line up
this year and we must find some one
to take his place. Sever OF the
new men have had the experience
and we think that we shall be able
to fill this vacant position. n
Southern. slim Gaskell and Red
Webb are three of h e aspirants.
These men are all fast and have had
plenty of experience. Then we stu
have Wclch, Gilbert. Dahler and
Lowcnstein from last year. They
have all made their mark in Parco
basketball circles and II Will take
some stiff playing to Gust them from
their positions for they are not go
Ing to give them up without n good
fight.
Things look good for the Parco
OIL Cans to clean up this year ana
: there are several good games bcing
considered Mt the present time. OF
course nothing definite has been
done on n schedule so far but rumors
are heard now and then which sound
NJ though there will be in all prob
ability, games scheduled later on
with teams from Laramie. Cheyenne.
Denver Hanna. RawlinR. ROCK
Springs and others. Such games Will
undoubtedly prove popular to tho
basketball fans OF this community
and will add an Incentive to those
who nre fortuntc enough Ia mako tho
team.

ium are fast taking shape and when
