As in the past the second teams will start the action with the main games getting under way about 8:30. This year the Pirates have drawn the fastest team in the league (the Bingham Miners), as their opponents in the opening round of play. Bingham, always a tough team to beat, has looked especially good in some of its practice tilts and the 'Pirates will have to play a full ball game if they are to tuck the first game in their treasure chest. The main cogs in the Miners machine are the Jenkins twins at forward, Stoddard, Pino, and Gust at guards and Taylor and Christensen at Center.
