cage crew that will be able to stick

Hard drills and fast scrimmages
mark the practices thus far. In
order that the crew be in shape
for the opening game after tl.e
holidays It haB been decided riiBt
the team will hold praClhts all
fibrins the" two weeks of vaendon.
no'll the coach and the team are
(leterml'.ed to put a winner on the
court this year and indications are
ut present that this -wlii be the
case.

every other day b '• 'tls Ifkely that
they v. Ill come mo-i often after
Christmas. With only two regulars
hack from last season it would
seem that Athens High would ne
represented by only a fair team.
This will hardly be ^he jay), how
ever. The vacant spots left by
“Red" Howell, “Cat” Williamson
and Storey will bo hard tr !>'.! out
when a glance at the new material
is token the outloo’i is far from
gloomy
One thing that will no doubt
help the team a great deal will be
the returning ef Jnsle B-'wdon to
the fold. Josie has been absent from
practices due to injurle.i received In
an auto accident. These have heal
err so rapidly, hoive-'er, that it 1
probable she will bo cut for prac
tice soon. Bowden was one of the
malmr.nys of the team last year and
will be a great help to the i.-oni.
In the practices for the last week
the work of some of the new can
didates have show.i goo-1 form.
Ruchwald, Frierson and Corner
have shown an eye for the basket
while Knowles, Bowden and Jen
