Good battles are in prospect at all sessions and should attract capacity crowds. —oOo— The tourney will start off with a bang at 7:15 p.m. Thursday when a pair of long standing rivals, the Kirkland Kangaroos and Monroe Bearkatz, battle in the opener. Monroe scored a 40-35 victory when these teams met at Berne early in the season and fans should have a real treat here. Hartford is expected to have little trouble with the Pleasant Mills Spartans in the second Thursday night tilt. --000— Another natural comes up for the Friday night session. This will be the third meeting of the season between the Decatur Commodores and the Monmouth Eagles in the second tilt.

The Gorillas' toughest game of the season was against the Monroe Bearkatz, who held the sectional champs to a two-point victory on the Hartford floor a few weeks ago. —oOo— The Monmouth Eagles are the defending champions, having won the tourney for the last two years. The Eagles, who lost their entire starting five from last year by graduation, have gradually been improving, last week defeating both Geneva and the Commodores. —oOo— Season tickets for the county meet are on sale at all of the eight competing schools. The tickets are priced at $2 for the four sessions of seven games. Plenty of basketball for the money. If single session tickets are available, they will be sold at 60 cents at the gym shortly before the opening of each session. —oOo— • Only two games are on the county schedule this week, in addition to the county tourney. Monmouth will be host to the Petroleum Panthers at Monmouth Tuesday night, and the Warren Lightning Five will play at Berne Friday night. The Decatur Yellow Jackets,
