to do so. The team that wears tin

probably the strongest baskrtbs.il a'.1
gregation that has represented the
institution in several seasons and i*
prepared to iik. : the vi.sltoi ; on
even terms.
The Mats are sending in ili r h o
men to play this evening. The team
has a clean record on the Channel
■playing five games and winning ail
of them, one an overtime session
with the local City's squad. It should
be a corking good game, full of ac
tion and one that will furnish the
tans with excitement galore. It wit
be Metlakatla's last game on the
Channel this season.
On the face of performances o;
both teams, although the High Schoo
team has played hut two games this
season, the two fives are almosi
evenly matched in team work. Botl
have a good passing game, bott
check closely and hard and both art
speedy. The school five may be out
