Four Teams Meet on
Richland Floor Tonight

Richland-Perhaps four; of the
greatest teams that will ever come
together on the Richland basketball
court will clash on Friday night
when Kennewick meets Hanford in
the opener and the Richland five
tussles with Pasco in the second
tilt. The first game will start at
7:30 p. m. sharp.
The stamp and bond committee of
Richland high school will again
campaign for $425 to try and reach
the $500 mark set for Feb. IL. Also,
along with this drive will be a ~
for Victory" drill given by the
physical education girls of the school
under supervision of Mrs. Lois Digh-
ton. A short talk will be given by
a member of Elmer Lindskig Ameri-
can Legion Post No. 1876.
Keennewick is the league leader
and will add another scalp to the
four already on their belt if they
can topple Hanford. If Hanford
loses they will only be showed deep
e. into the last place they now oc-
cupy. But if Kennewick should
drop the game they would give
Pasco or River View a chance to
tie them; also Richland> if the
Broncs can will all of the rest of
their games.
Last Friday a very fast Kenne-
wick team took Richland into town
when they handed the Broncs an
other defeat. Superior weight,
height, and experience finally won
out for Kennewick and they trotted
off the floor on the long end of a
1924 score. The first half was
very close and ended 1911 in favor
of Richland. But it was in the last
two periods that the Kennewick
quintet began, to roll. Hays was
high scoring man for the down
countyites while Marvin Kemp came
through for Richland with 8 points.
Kennewick was originally sched-
uled to play Hanford on the latter's
floor but because their court was
flooded they were forced to choose
another place to play and so Rich
land was selected.
The league now stands with Ken
newick in first place while the other
five teams rate as follows: Sec
ond, Pasco and River View third,
Richland, and fourth, Hanford and
Benton City. =.
A short curtain-raiser will see the
Richland second team matched with
the Pasco second team.
