With promised representation Of
16 clubs in the three basket ball cir
cults this Winter, Washington Recrea-
ton League officials last night laid
plans for an early opening of the
and junior loops.
Entries will close December Is for
all three series, according to the vote
of the ma ajority of member clubs. En-.
trance fees, eligibility lists and ply
sical examination results must be in
the hands of the schedule committee
by this date. An entrance fee of SIS
for senior teams and $40 for interme-
date and junior squads was decided
upon. This is a slight increase over
last years assessment, but was
thought necessary in order to insure
the best qualified referees for the
games. Play will begin about Jan
uary /.
Margaret III. Craig is in charge Of
physical examinations and upon noti-
fication will send a doctor to the re-
spective gymnasiums of the member
clubs in order to examine the entire
group simultaneously. Miss Craig
may be reached at Main 992 and club
managers are advised to get in touch
with her regarding this matter at
their earliest convenience.
One new club is entered in the
league this year and one which had
retired has returned to the line of
action. The American Security Bank
will enter a squad for the first time.
The Woodlothians. who have been alb.
sent from the field for II months, will
be represented in one or more Of the
three circuits.
Any club is privileged to put one
team into any or all of the circuits,
provided that the players on senior
squad are not used in games on the
intermediate or junior circuits.
The classification of teams is en-
tirely a matter of ability and not
based upon age, as the terms Senior"
and Junior" might suggest.
