Mill City
The town casaba teams of Gates,
Mill City, Detroit, Aumsville, and Sub­
limity, and a team of CBI Engineers
are readying themselves for the open­
ing of the Santiam Canyon basket­
ball league.
The league will open
with all six teams taking off their
wraps at a gala Jamboree on Wednes­
day, Dec. 27, at the Gates high school
gym.
The opening game starts at 7:30
and will see the Detroiters pitted
against the CBI Engineers. Detroit
claims to have a strong five and hopes
to champion the league, but the Engi­
neers may be more formidable than
expected.
At 8:15 the Gates aggregation is
scheduled to battle the Mill City
Rockets. Gates has won all their
pre-season practice games and will
be the heavy favorite.
Also the
Rockets are handicapped from lack of
practice, because of their difficulty
in obtaining a gym to play in, but
they have plenty of fight.
The last game of the evening will
be Aumsville vs. Sublimity.
These
two teams are unknown powers, as
seen from upstream, and they will
try to upset any squad in the league
that gets too high in the standings.
Each action packed game for the
evening will be composed of two fif­
teen minute halves.
The boys will start their regular
league games on January 8. A sched­
ule will be published before that time.
