close analysis of .the timber and
Quality of playing reveals the facv
that not only are the old timers keep-;
ing the pace of former years but new
players are being developed and by
next. season there will - be a classy
squad of men to pick a Y. M. C. A.
tea mfrom, and addej material for
both the M. I. A. and high school. Ful
ly 25 players of more or less merit
at present and showing good prou
pects to become future stars have
participated from time to time since j
the league was inaugurated. '
That the M. I. A. will head the
league when the season is over, : is
now beginning to become a safe bet,
but the under dogs are aching to score
a defeat at some point in the schedule
of the masters. Thnt fact alone will
keep interest at fever height from
that angle, any when it comes to sec
ond place, the season is still young.
The high school with its one-gunu
lead for second pluce, lias a slight ad
vantage, but thut is trifling , to be
sure and fans can readily sec where
any of the three traders can still get
to second place.
At the beginning of the league sen
son it was felt, if the truth wero
known, that the green O.-W. players
would be the ones ' that would nee !
nursing to retain interest. However,
nn agreeable surprise was sprung and
it is no. wa nch that that none of
the teams need pity all effervesce
with pep and confidence backed by
efficiency and the future games will
be characterized throughout with the
keenest interest Anybody that likes
basketball can't afford to miss these
games, and those who don't know
much about basketball can learn a
whole lot by registering in on each
Wednesday evening.

Are You Going

Two great questions to the '

are "How much is your

"what will be the cost for !
repairs in the future."

good and substantial wav !

public opinion. When any action

of domestic trade; that it is but a
