realize that most OF the clubs
have lost many of their members.
who would be able to represent
their club, to more important
club, to the United States Army.
Perhaps, if things turn to worse,
we will have to postpone TIE
tournement, for our duties to our
country comes first before our
pleasures and since their is a rub
Der and gas shortage, probably it
would be the best if the tourpa-
ment should be postponed. All de-
pends on how many entries we
receive this week. For all entries
must be in by Oct. IL. Definite
information will be found in the
paper next week.
The Lorain Juniors take this

backboards time and time again
and although he got pushed around
