 The visiting teams are the Cor dova Moose and the Imperial Girls. sponsored by Colonel Bob Korn. who has sworn that his boys and girls are going to lick the local contestants in very embarrassing manner.
 The Matanuska Hotel team, flushed with straight victories over every team played so far this year, is unabashed by such idle boasts.
 Although there were some doubts that the local ladies would be able to accept the Cordova challenge, an unexpected rally in the Rockets ranks Tuesday night, when more than ten show ed up for practice, assured games on both Friday and Saturday nights.
 Suits were given out at We'd nesday nights practice by Coach Vi Stacey, so the local girls will look like basketball players, any way.
 The two local teams will meet the Cordova challengerS at the Palmer gymnasium both Friday and Saturday nights. After the Friday night game, the visitors will be guests at turkey feed sponsored by the Rockets and the Matanuska Hotel team. The tur- key is being donated by Jan Kos loSky.
 After Saturday nights game, the visitors will be given the key" to Moose Hall and will be treated to a chili supper.
 It is expected that many Val ley people enjoyed Cordova's hospitality last March will want to renew their acquaintances with the port city guests at Rec Hall after the game.
 Tickets for the Friday and Sat lrday night games went on sale yesterday by members of the two teams. Local fans can see both he men and women play for one dollar each night. Cost to high school students is 75 cents.
