Title Match on at Army Post Tonight

The first of a three game series for the city championship pits the Y M C A five against St Anthony at 8 15 pm in the Army Post gym. Both teams are in good form and the opener is expected to be the best basketball of the year. Coach Dusseau notes that taking the first game gives a major edge in the race for the title, likely making tonight's play tougher than later contests. A dispute from the Turner club questions the Y M C A five’s eligibility to face the school champions, claiming the Turners have not been decisively beaten by the Y since reorganization, though the Y management seems confident a fair third party arrangement will resolve the matter.
