Some Of the boys who make up
the Independent squad watched
the Alex Firemen trample merci-
lessly over the Victory Five last
week. The Victory Five is composed
of University football stars who
saw q chance to do some advertis-
ing and have some fun with a
transforming tour. The Independ-
ents are under the impression that
the august Five never had much
training along basketball lines, and
are quite confident that it would be
no treat for the local fans to bring
in the Victory Five. Beise was the
only man of real football renown
that might interest fans-and he is
no basketball man.

Independents have doubts that
the spell of dark clouds might
be brushed away In regard to
locals participating. Time Is q

have it this year. 1t would be
disappointing If for any reason
they could not take part-prO-
