This week il is scbcd- ulc1 to play the South church quin- tct in this city and the locals arc looking eagerly ahead o the chance to secure revenge on the up-staters, but difficulty has been met with in arranging the game. Now Britain is trying to line it up for Saturday night. but Mapping is avcrse 10 leaving it's home court on that eve ming and the negotiations were in tic $talcmatc stagc today.
 The locals, however. will have ono game this week. for on Thurs day night they ni1l go to Manchos- tor to meet Highland Park. which hl9 been slipping badly on the road and is anxious 10 cct home agam and find the lost speed which kept it near the top of the league in it's carly games. Mapping is also due in Southinston this week, but it is understood that the game has been postponed and will be played OH February o8.
 Plainvillc has an easy louDlc- header with Halardyille as it's weeks fare, ono game being set for tomorrow night in l!azardviIl" and the other for Friday evening in PlainNille.
