BASKETBALL PRACTICE . GETS IN FULL STRIDE UNDER HIGH .MENTOR Basketball practice at the high school is now in full swing under the direction of Coach Nujl. The local mentor is running his aggregation through long, hard drills every night and from the way the aspirants are cavorting on the hardwood, a real live -will take the floor in the opening

contest of the season at the Coliseum , The Red ana White warriors will stack up against Ihe quintet hailing from Knightstown cn that night. Many of the men are fast rounding imo form and every man seems to be in good physical trim, although the team work necessarily will be rough lor some time because of the fact that the men have not played together before. In the practice session last night a good scrimmage was held. Two team were picked but Null refused to state which was the first and which were the second. A bunch of the men are of about the same caliber when it comes to tickling the draperies and it Is going to be a job to pick out a first team that excels another five that could be selected. Players Show Speed. Harkins, who played as forward on last year's quintet is doing some real work at the forward job in practice, and probably will be able to land that berth as a regular. Host, is doing a whirlwind stunt at (he floor guard job pud bis dribbling stood out very prominently. Ioelir is playing a better game at center than he hasever put up before and ia spite of the fact that Green has him betted a little in size he Is putting up a Rame light for the place. Amick is keeping his eye on the goal in a consistent manner and slips them through the loop in great manner. CJaylor is covering the rear end of the floor in regular fashion so that a shot ut the ?al for the second mans :t long trip through the air tor the ba!l. The high five looks good as :i starter, although, as has been said before, it will be t-mall in sUe.
