 Adams is reaching popular favor with the baSk etball fans of this city and many are asking why he does mt see more service than he has, One answer to this query is that he has been with the team only for two games and on Saturday night, with Conway and Arburr getting into the lineup for the first time, It would be three new men on the floor if Adams started. The season IS young and he will see plenty of service before the last game IS played.
