The Gardiner High basketball
teams will be seen in action in an
other double header at 7.30 tonight
at the gym when the boys will meet
the fast Morse High FIVE, and the
girls will play Richmond High lassies.
Morse High took an easy victory
from Brunswick on Wednesday eve
ming, but remember the burst OF
speed that the Orange and Black
showed in the game on the Bath
floor. The girls should take win
from the Richmond team, but are
far from confident. and will be ready
to put up a real fight. The fans that
attend the last double header saw
some fine basketball, and tonight
should bring forth two fast games.

Its arrangement is ideal. particular
