CRISPUS ATTUCKS HIGH 1933-34 BASKETBALL TEAM
all star, lineup for this one game here, and the local Kautsky will have the strongest team in years in an effort to snap the long winning streak of the world famous Negro
quintet.
Frank Kautsky is building a special., defense to stop the fast dribbling Holt, and Wee Willie Smith who are the latest acquisitions to the Rens. Ricks, Saitch, Cooper, Jenkins and Yancey are the other big shots on the Renaissance team. Fats Jenkins, the captain, is one of few ,$10,000 year basketball players of the Negro race, and is the attraction of the team. The other players draw $5,000 a year for their services. The team plays about 130 games a year and usually wins over a hundred of them. The Kautsky A. C. will depend upon Christopher, Butler; Schultz Central Normal; C. Wooden; Murphy, Purdue, J. Wooden, Purdue; Parmenter, Purdue. All of these athletes have stamped their names upon the memory of sportsmen with their brilliant performances in college circles, and the game promises to be fast and closely contested.

BACK HOME AGAIN A short talk with Watford and Morris and James gave me more enthusiasm over the possibilities of an Indianapolis representative in the National prep basketball tourney in Gary next March. The final decision will rest with the prin-

There’s no use of discussing the possibilities of the Tigers in such a meet so early in the season, but there is the one incentive for such a meet that is, it will make the local boys pep up a bit if they thought they will get a chance to
make the trip.
