A great blow has been handed to;
the Army basket ball t/?am with the
receipt of orders, detailing Duley H.

was the runner-up to the champ at:
Ft. McArthur, Calif, in the handball
league last winter and hopes to have
another successful year here. Of
course Sergeant will have to get ac-!
climated and cannot be expected to'
burn up the old gym right off the
bat, but he intends to gradually get
himself into top shape before he
turns himself loose.
