War Vets Of Rhode Island Out Land Mxup Dempsey and WI
TWIN HOOP FIGHT
with GARDINER ON
&c" COURT TONIGHT

Two big games on Cony Highs
hoop menu for tonight is the return
polished court battle It'll Gardiner
High School. The local quintets
journeyed, to Gardiner a week or so
ago and the boys picked an easy VIC
tory from the Black and Orange
team by a score of 23-11. The girls
had tougher proposition on their
hands in the Gardiner girls seXtet
and had to be content with tieing the
score with the down river lassies by
a score of 22-22.
The double headed tonight winds
up all the home games this season 10
be seen on the local floor. Although
the boys team has been handed
some tough medicine this year in
clashes with different schools. they
take into consideration the fact that
the team has been handicapped to a
certain extent, either because OF
some of, the first string men were Off
the team on account of studies or
were thrown off at mid-years. The
girls have had a remarkably fine
season, having a clean slate at the
present time and standing in a good
way to cop the championship.
There is always a lot of red-hot
rivalry when these two ancient rivals
meet and the game tonight should
not prove any exception to the rule.
The Gardiner boys think they are IN
better condition TO meet the Red ana
White representatives then they were
at the game played at Gardiner and
that they can turn the tables on the
Capital City lads. The fact that the
girls held the Cony seXtet to n 22-2s
score tends to make them feel hit
better as to the results of the score
tonight. A fast clean game should
he in order tonight and n large clus-
ter of fans should turn out 20 see this
court duel. To have the Gardiner
lads and lassies walk away with the
beacon tonight is not the right dope
according to the local tennis way OF
thinking and they are prepared to
give Gardiner n hard little game.
The girls game will start at 1880
sharp followed by the boys game
promptly at eight. After the game
general dancing will follow.
The lineup for the boys team to-
night will be as follows: Winslow
If: II. Stiles IF: Poor c; Boyd re-:
Howell lg. The girls lineup has not
yet been announced.

hest bets the Black and White has
this year is Dicky Rideout. who was
prominent as a twirler on Cony High
the past four years. There entered
GEORGETOWN University last fall Don
Brennan, Cony's star mopndsman for
four years and for two seasons with
the Augusta Millionaires. He is more
than likely to make the Washington
College team. Now then-lf il should
happen that these two former twir-
lers of the Red and White should
happen to be the opposing fingers
in that game what would be the re-
suit:
