scheduled for this afternoon likely
to play an important part.

Sun Radio, champions and pres
ent leaders, tackles the most i'm
proved team in the league, Marl-
boro having won every game since
dropping the opener to Heurich's
on October 18. A win for the
MarylanderS today would give
them a one-point lead over Sun
Radio, a margin which might be
sufficient to take firSt-haH honors.
The champions, however, gained
considerable confidence by reason
of their victory over Heurich's last
week and feel equal to the task
of beating Marlboro.
The game at Benning may fit
tingly be described as a local
derby. On both teams are players
who performed under the Heurich
banner last year, and each team
thinks it possesses the pick of that
squad. Today's meeting, therefore,
has been eagerly anticipated since
the league opened, and it may
supply the answer as to which is
the stronger outfit.
