Weighing STARTS
FOR CITY TOURNEY
Process Necessary to Qualify
Committee Meeting Monday

The weighing of teams entered in
amateur basketball tournament be-
gan at the Stanley Arena yesterday
afternoon and will continue through
tomorrow, while the process of
weighing the Junior and midget
quintet will start tomorrow at the
Wednesday. No player who has not
been weighed will be allowed to par
ticipate in the tourney. and no team
which has not had at least five men
on the official scales will be consid-
cred to have qualified for entrance.
In taking a teams weight, the
poundage of the five heaviest men
will be averaged. It is expected that
some teams will fail to make their
desired class weights with their pres
ent line-ups. In such a case, the
team will be allowed to advance in
to the next class above, to cut off a
heavy player or two in order that
the weight may be made. or. if
neither of these alternatives is fea-
sible. to withdraw.

nounced hours OF to 6 this after

ming to the weighing OF intermedi-
atcs. This is courtesy to those
players who are employed in fac
tories and would be unabl to ap-
pear in the afternoon. Players will
also be weighed from to 6 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. The juniors and
midgets will be weighed all day to-
morrow and on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday afternoons and eve
nings at the Boys club.
