Now for basketballe We have been working a few days a week but
having lost Ebling, Harp, Voran, and Miller because of the trick imee, you
can understand that our scoring suffers quite noticeably in comparison to our
last year's outfite Our boys are not big and tough and they are not exe
perienced, so I am not looking for as great a year as we had hoped for at
the finish of last season's campaigns
