The tournament for the champion ship will begin March 6th or 7th. Arrangements are being made for at least fifty teams to enter the tour nament. Ten courts on the recreation field behind "Poverty Row" are under construction, and will be ready for play within two weeks. The goals are being made by Columbia Lumber Company. The managers of the various tene ment teams were elected this week and held a meeting Thursday after noon to make gut the rules for the tournament as to eligibility, entrance, and to plan a schedule. Town students will probably be en tered as independent teams which will be chosen and placed by the individual team itself. Each will have a manager. The city will probably be divided into geographical sections for the purpose of convenience in arrangement. A real, hot race is anticipated ac cording to the authorities at the gym, and each team is urged to start prac tice as soon as possible. Along with basketball will come several of the other sports in which the department of physical education is staging competitive championships to determine the individual as well as group championship.

Here again the tenements will enter teams to contest for the group championship. By holding these various contests the department hopes to get every man interested in some branch of athletics which will help to develop him phy sically. This aim was reached to a great extent in football when over 300 men took part in the games. -USC White Takes Lead In New English Play "Sun-Up" To Be Given by Eng lish 123 Class in the Near Future Unuiversity stud(enIts will remember the acting of Clyde White i the Stage Society pilay "The Last of the Lowries" given by English 123.
