avery avery avery very slight advantage antage However it is not enough to judge tho the strength of the two b by It will be the weakened lineup of East that gives their sister rival the advantage on the dope sheet Only one man that opened the season on the regular Leopard five is still in that position Eligibility has taken away three while ill illness illness illness ill ill- ness will probably keep another out of the contest Lewis and and WatkIns Watkins Wat- Wat at kins two two of the strongest guards in the state have both passed laSsell on onvia onvia via the ineligibility route as has

West Vest probably has a slight Alight light a advantage ad vantage at forwards but it is but buta a small smail margin the experience of the thEIr men men counting for a great deal Potts has played remarkable ball while he lie has been in the play and anti should make malte an even match for either of or the Panther forwards Johnson has bas had but little experience experience expert expert-
