Liniment Squad and
Baby Nanooks Play
Ball Tomorrow Night
Tuesday evening at 8:30 the
game of the year will be played
between the local “Liniment
Squad” and the High School
Junior Varsity.
The Liniment Squad has been
practicing diligently, getting sore
musles in shape and the kinks out
of their playing. They are out to
take the Baby Nanooks with some
fancy footwork and snappy ball
handling.
The Squad held a practice
session Sunday afternoon and
they perfected their strategy to
take the game. It is understood
they will use the platoon system
to wear the younger boys down.
Regular basketball rules will be
observed except that there will
be a jump ball a center after
each basket.
There has beeh reported »a
challenge issued by the officers
of Army and Air Force detach
ments here to play the Liniment
Squad at a later date. No de
tails are available at this time but
if the challenge is accepted, the
game should be a hum-dinger, a
rip-snorter, because both teams,
after a little more practice, will
be the solid rocks.
The first game of Tuesday play
will start at 7 o’clock between the
ACS team and the Air Force
Gooney Birds.
