However Coach Holt as yet has
not received entrance assurance.
In order to have a successful loop
Coach Holt said, there should be
at least five or six teams entered.
ORGANIZATION plans were being con-
sidered by two groups in FL Centre
but they have not reached !lnal
decision.
LITTLE RESPONSE
The high school gymnasium has
been generously turned over to out
of-school players on Monday ana
Tuesday evenings to provide adc-
auatc practice time for commercial
leagucrs but up to now the re-
SpOnSc has been negligible.
Last Tuesday night Coach Hoit
called a meeting OF team repre-
SentatiVcS to draw mp Schcdulc
but the poor turnout did not en-
able the move. Holt indicated that
he would attempt to get things
started again next Monday ana
Tuesday night but if response IS
not good, i'll all probability plans
for league this year will be drop
ped.
For the past several years mcr-
chants in FL Ccntro have organized
teams among employees but at
present no such movement is under
way.
The various teams have always
provided strong competition and
the ensuing rccreational values have
proved of great worth,
In addition to play in the league

PLEASED WITH TIMES
MUSIC COvERAGE

Editor. The Times: You are to
be congratulated on the fine
music page often two pages.
which you have been giving us
on Friday evenings. There has
been a remarkable coverage of
musical organizations of the city,
and OF their work. Some Of them
were unknown to me when I first
read of them in your paper last
year. In a city where there Ia so
high a percentage OF the popula-
ton interested In music, a music
department like yours Is in
valuable.
You have also given US musical
news of great interest from the
important eenters. often before II
reaches US through our musical
magazines.
The articles by Mr.. Bixel are
well written. and give US much
from his wide knowledge of the
masters, and from his own very
fine library. His articles in the
past few months on Beethoven
and on Shostakovich have been
very timely.
As one Of the very interested
readers of your music page. I
wish you success and may you
long continue,
MRS. CHARLES w. MASON.
