LE HEADER
AT BASKETBALL
The double-header tomorrow night
between the Presbyterians and Meth
odists, and Baptists and Christians,
will probably be the best games wit
nessed yet between the church teams.
Should the Methodists lose to the
Presbyterians, the race for the cham
pionship will prove warmer than
ever, as the different teams will be
on an equal basis as to the number
of games won. This would also give
the Presbyterians a lift.
All the churches have developed
fast teams and the playing In the
different games Is becoming better
with each game. The attendance at
the games so far has been fairly good.
