Gym. This is an intercity semi
final round between the Prot
estant Church League champi-
ons of Maiden and Medford and
we should have a good crowd on
hand for the game tonight. The
winner may go on to win the
Greater Boston League title.
Maiden has long been a keen
rival of Medford in all sports.
Around Is years ago the Med
ford Shiloh baseball church
champions always found NAL
den boys hard to beat. We will
not expect too much of the
Shiloh first year basketball team
this Saturday evening. We know
that win, lose or draw, the local
boys will give a good account
of themselves under hardwork-
ing coach Chet Works. Regard
less of the game outcome to-
night, the Shiloh team has all
ready made history and we are
all mighty proud of the achieve
ment of these young men. The
starting time tonight for Shiloh,
wearing the new team uniforms
for the first time is as follows:
Bubber Smith at center, Rocky
ChiSolm and Pete Barnett on
the forwards, and Ronnie Low
EFT and Charlie Evans, guards.
The relief and reserve players
may include some of the Shiloh
Junior squad. And speaking of
sports, the new Tufts college CO.
captain of track is Milton Craig
who has quietly been helping
in boys work at the Community
Center. There is possibility
that Leo Barros will coach base
ball at st. Raphael following his
recent deferment from the Air
force. Leo, veteran of the
last war has been making a
fine record with the Don Bosco
club of East Boston and before
that he helped coach the Orig
inal Rambler football team.
