Co. M Basketball Team to Meet St. Joe Friday Eve.

Co. M’s basketball team will open their season against the strong quintette from St. Joseph’s college, next Friday evening, Dec. 19th/ at the armory. St. Joe has been practicing for several weeks, while the locals will have but this week to get in shape, but the Co. M boys expect to win anyway. Kirk, Morgan, Putts and Clark, of last year’s team, remain, and Nowels, a new man, will fill in at the other guard. Two games have been scheduled with the Rensselaer high school team during the holidays, while Hammond, Lowell, Monticello, West Side Browns, of Chicago, and several other fast teams will follow during the season. Practice will start tonight for the locals and those wishing a tryout should report at the armory at 8 o’clock. There is material for a state championship team in the company and everyone should turn out and help them get started with a victory.
