myself.
He is working where he is and

wants us to come to him. Do you
think I should break up my home,
leave my job and go to him?

is not complete without him
and if he is working, you can
possibly get your kind of work
wherever he is. So, would sug-
gest that you pack up as soon
as possible and got to him. in
fact, there is nothing else for
you to do if you can hardly live

Coolidge Quintet
Meet Gilbert On
Home Court Tonite
Visitors Expected to Bring
Well Trained Cage Group

Coolidge Union high school
meets the Gilbert high school five
at 1880 pm. tonight in the local
high school gym. The Gilbert
school is expected to place a we'll
trained team On the floor since
their basketball training period
starts before that of other con-
ference members. Gilbert plays
six man football and hence has
shorter football season which
enables them to star basketball
practice a few weeks earlier. To
date, Gilbert has defeated Buck
eye and lost to Peoria.
The Coolidge team is in good
form. Many of the first team
players reported regularly for
practice during the recent holi-
days so the probable starting
lineup, from the following: Dutch
Martin, Nichols, Trout, Perkins,
Shaw, and Wellborn-should be in
good condition. AL Nichols has
been nursing an injured right ell
bow but it appears that he will be
able to play. A survey of the
scorings made in each of the
games played this season show
that 10 points is the average score
so far. In the three games play
ed, Coolidge defeated the Phoenix
Coyotes and lost to Ajo and Tue
son.
This years second team is COM
posed mostly of sOphomores and
only few freshmen. Considering
the size of the boys and their
past performances against other
teams, Coach Wilson says that
some of these boys show promise
of making the top string next
year.
The starting lineup for this
game with Gilbert's second team
will probably be the following
Newcomb, Ramirez, Rameriz,
Roche, Livingston and John Mar
tin. Others who also serve on
the squad are Leon Smith, Edwin
Elledge and Leroy Shoemaker.

Investigators Told
To Get Going" By
Thief Monday Night

Prowlers are getting tougher
and bolder these days or perhaps
it just seems so. Anyhow Ray
Lindemann and Larry Kimmer be-
lived that the person looting a
pin ball machine of $14 early
Tuesday morning was too tough to
handle when from a crack in an
open door came to admonition,
Get going buddy, I've got you
covered"
Kimmer, who rooms directly
above the recreation hall heard
the prowler in the building. Hur-
riedly awakening Lindemann the
two quietly descended from San
Carlos hotel to investigate only
to hear what they considered
timely advice.
By the time local officers could
be advised of the presence of the
thief he had made good his es-
cape from a side door. Entrance
was gained through a rear window
where tracks of a light automo'
bile could be plainly seen.
