Aggregation To Meet Fort Lauderdale Tarpons Here This Evening “The High School Conchs have rounded into good shape”, Coach P. D. Huddleston stated this morning in diseussing their pros- pects in the tough game tonight at the Gym with the Ft. Lauder- dale Tarpons. “They have been passing quite oI], and have been doing good ing with which I am very pleased”, he said, “especial- ce all the fellows are sink- ots and not just one or two players. The defense is as tight as ever”. The Tarpons have been unde- feated in Florida this season, hav- ing soundly whipped Lake Worth, West Palm Beach, Miami Beach and Dania. Satellites of the team are Cox at forward, Vaughan at center, and Wood at guard. The m is big and plays a smash- g type of game. Another ace game tonight will be the second clash of the Con- vent girls with the High School girls. The Conventeers will en- deavor,‘to even things up after teok recently. The High School girls, who have two new stars in McBeth and Wise, have been ex- hibiting snappy play and a new spirit this season and are confi- dent that this is their year. First game is at 7:30.

AT ARMY BAR- RACKS First baseball game of the year will be played at the Army Bar- racks, scene of hotly-played con- tests of yore, between the U. S. Army nine and the local Acevedo Stars, at 2 p. m. Sunday. The Coast Artillerymen have had good material but have not been practicing seriously until lately, but now they are in great shape and should give the favor- ed local nine a hot game. The Acevedo Stars will feature five Acevedo brothers, Manolo, Albert, George, Albio and Ar- mando, and two brother-in-laws, ‘Albert and Lefty Rodriguez, on their battery. If they can get the eldest brother, Popin, a veteran ball player, amd can use the youngest Acevedo, Eloy, in the lineup, it will entirely be a fam- ily club. Fans are cautioned not to create undue disturbances at the Barracks. “Major MacMullen has been kind enough to give us the Bar- racks again”, Captain Armando Acevedo stated, “and it will be up to us to play as peaceably as pos- sible, and up to the fans not to create any undue disturbances and have due regard for the shrubbery and property at the Barracks”.
