 Two Games This Evening

4 par Of teams tied for second place in the Junior Church basket ball league will have their chance tonight to creep closer 10 the lead ing quintet. for both the Trinity Methodist and First Lutheran lives will play second division opponents while the undofeated South Congro- Gational combination remains idle.

A., with the first one starting at 7:45 o'clock.
 The Mcthodlsts have done much better than was anticipated and have been welding themselves into strong team with good defense and a scoring punch. They figure to take the Episcopalians into camp tonight. but the West Main streeters lave shown strength before when least expected and may upset the dope bucket.
 Stronger opposition may be en- countered by the First Lutherans. and this team developed an unac- ccurltable slump in form last week, when it suffered a bad defeat at the | hands of the league leaders, but the Swedes are confident that they will come back tonight and pin m ienominious ;rouncing upon the I',Ntc, oI, tt| |i- nay not be at full strength, but it gave the Luthcrans a shock when the teams met before and has visions Of repeating the pcrfornt ance this evening.

Reports of two minor crashes on

ifs office, however, neither of
which resulted in serious injury to
crasher or erashce. The first of
these accidents occurred at l o'clock
yesterday morning, when Tom Asder
Of FL Centre ran into ear driven
by T. Wilson, one and one half miles
east Of the Bonds Corner store. The
machines were not badly damaged
and neither driver injured.
The second accident took place at
GAS this morning when the ears of
