TUCSON QUINT
FACES DOUGLAS
HERE TONIGHT


Tonight the basketball fans of
Douglas will witness what may prove
to be the championship game of the
Southern conference. Douglas has
won from Bisbee, Tucson has won
from Nogales, SO tonlght's game
should be classic Coach Warren's
men have worked hard the past week
in anticipation of real battle and
are on edge for this crucial game.
Tucson will be represented by the
two Caid brothers who have been
prominent in high school athletics
for a number of years; along with
the Caids come Trammell, Abbott,
and Weinsapfel who are also stars
of the first magnitude. The writer
is making no prophecies as to the
outcome of the game but it will be
close and fast, continuous action from
start to finish.
Douglas is doped to win but not
unless the Bull Dogs put up a fight
worthy of their name. Those who
will probably start for Douglas are:
Negri, Haymore, Miller, Cummins and
Evans, but if these fail to produce
Coach Warren has 10 very strong
reserves in Young, Critchley, Hoh-
stadt, Byrne, Wheelin, Morrow, Bran
ham, Parks and Levy, any OF whom
may be showed into the breach II
necessary.
DIR. Larson Referee
A capacity crowd witnessed the Bis
bee game and without exception
every spectator expressed himself as
being quite elated at the thrill OF
the game and at the quality of bas-
ketbau displayed by the Douglas
team. Another capacity crowd should
be on hand tonight because this
game should be even better.
The game begins at 1880 O'Clock
DIR. Larson of the University Of Ari-
IONA who handled the game with
Bisbee will do the officiating again
tonight and this will insure last
and clean game.
There will be dance in the high
school gymnasium Immediately after
the game.
History Of Teams II
The Tucson Badger basketball gum
tet easily defeated Bisbee high last
night in Bisbee, the final score being
36 to IS. The Douglas high quintet
took an easy game from the PumaS
last week by score of 26 to- 16, so
the game tonight between the Tucson
Badgers and Bulldogs should be a
real contest. Both teams won easily
over Bisbee and with the locals on
their home floor should give the in
vading Badgers the hardest game OF
their life.
Tucson has seasoned aggregation
and several good basket shooters, ac-
cording to j. E. Carlson, Jr., who
witnessed the game last evening in
Bisbee. The Caid brothers and Tram
nell are sinking goals regularly and
Jack Anderson at running guard
comes in for a fair share OF the points
by looping baskets from the center
of the floor. Abbott, Van Camp, and
Weinzapfel are the other Badgers
players.
A record crowd is expected to be
on hand tonight to see the Bulldogs
stop the winning streak Of the Tue
son school team. Tucson has won
four games in as many starts.
Badgers Play Heavy Game
The Badgers are being coached by
Rollin Gridley, a smooth working COM
bination already and can expect more
victories as the season progresses.
The Badgers are fast in the floor and
play cool, heady game. Against
Bisbee the, Badgers were never in
danger and all the players got a
chance to play part of the game.
The Bulldogs will give plenty of keen
competition tonight and unless the
Badgers play an improved game they
are apt to get the short end OF the
score.
The probable Hneupss are:
