ketball championship, Al Dahl
berg's Puyallup Vikings and Chuck
Smiths Enumclaw Tigers meet on
the Auburn high school floor at
s p. m.
Hundreds Of rooters from Puy-
allup and Enumclaw are expected
to be on hand for the title tussle be-
sides a host of hoop fans from
other conference schools.
To Puyallup, Dahlberg's feat OF
guiding the Vikings to share of
the first half championship is
quite an event in itself as no Puy-
allup team since 1927 has figured
in any kind of title.
To Enumclaw, this years
team Is a pleasant surprise "a
nobody figured the Tigers
would be contenders, not even
Chuck Smith, whose wizardry
has proved itself again.
No Puyallup team has beaten
Enumclaw for seven years. In
their only meeting this season
Enumclaw eked out a 1886 vic
tory on Oar Bainton's basket in
the final seconds.
Tonight's game is expected to
be equally as thrilling. Puyallup's
starters will be Bruce. Calligan,
Buchanan, Strankman and Snider
The Enumelaw lineup will be Jani-
kula, Bainton, Williams, Fred
erickson and Richardson.
