SCHOOLS
 TO BASKET BALL
Phillys And Woodlawn Will Start Practice
 Immediately

With class football swept on into memory, the three city high schools are looking to the next member on the basketball However, Ensley Yellow Jackets, after their victorious season on the grid, are not in hurry to pass on from those pleasant memories, but finger on their valient work on the field rather than turn to more crowns.
 At Ensley the sporting members of the school did not have any class loot ball this year at all, nor have they turned their thoughts yet to the court. But after the Christmas holidays, Coach "Cannon Ball' White is planning on sounding the call to arms and seeing what he can find in the way of indoor athletes clad in Gold and Black jersey and trunks.
 Phillips Starts.
 At Phillips, on the other hand, with great prospects for city championship, they, referring to the prospectice basket bali material, are eagerly awaiting the opening of the court doors. The ques- tion in Coach Dick" Stillwells and Coach Bagbys mind is whether or not they will call the roll for the Crimson warriors Monday afternoon or Tues day afternoon. If the sophmores and the freshmen play the final game Of class football Monday afternoon, the basket ball practice will have to be put off until Tuesday, but If the two teams decline to play, then basket ball prac- flee will go into full swing Monday. At any rate it is certain that Coach Stillwell intends to get his men lined up at the door of the court at the first opportunity during the first part of this coming week. Phillips prob ably has the best prospect for wining the championship from a beginning standpoint, but there is no telling what its rival, the Woodlawn Junior Colo nels, will develop out of all of its athletic material.
 Four Veterans Back. Sanford, Cy Anderson, Abe Jaffee and Dock Brauner are the four letter men from last season back to uphold the Crimsons. Besides these there is a great deal of new material and subs. Among them are Ben Chapman, Heard, Henby, Thomas, Edmond, Lavey and | Cris Hendover. There is always some unexpected material showing up be- sides what is looked for, and with such a variety Phillips should put out a very strong five.
 The Woodlawn Junior Colonels' great quintet of last year has gone. That is, | it's victorious combination of last sea son has flown the coop with only the captain and center, Mitch Burns, left to carry on the good work.
 Place To Practice.
 Besides being up against the prob lem of building a team out of center problem of finding a place to practice As their school is incomplete at pres ent, they have no gym of their own but more than likely the Phillips ol the Woodlawn Methodist church flool will have to be used by them for thi. one season. Next season the Woodlawr High school will have been completed and they will have the pleasure of prac ticing on their own court.
 Coach Robin" Hood and Coach Rec Kelly are expecting the grid stars t, turn out to help them out. Some O those expected are both Chandlers Chapple, Pate, Levvy, Nunally ant many of the others.
 The high school basket ball games ar always worth seeking, and this yea with high competition running between them, an unusually good series can b expected. As yet the schedules hay not been worked out, but they will b as soon us practice for the three team gets under way.
