KenneWick To
Meet crandvieW

Kennewick basketball fans with
baleful eye, noted the recent
victories of both Ricfaland and
Pasco high schools over Gonzaga
and John Rogers of Spokane.
In the meantime, the Lions have
been idle but are preparing for a
showdown with Grandview in the
first game of the league schedule
on January 9. "
Fans here also have remarked
on the absence of Kennewick HI
names on the rosters of college
teams in the Northwest.
However, the list is not COM
pletely blank and at least three
Kennewick boys are in the thick
of the play in the smaller colleges.
The hottest play in the Winco
league shows these boys very
much in evidence. At Ellensburg
it's Dallman. And over at Pacific
Lutheran college in Tacoma Mills
AMI kauth are right in the thick
of it. -.
Other Kennewick boys are turn
ing out at various colleges.
