Basketball In School
After This Week
In the interest of all sports
Mount Joy High
School alumni members, the
basketball game which will be
plaved on the local high school
gym Friday evening has a spec-
ial significance
lovers and all
Not only is the game the
most important in the section
because the outcome will deter-
mine whether or not Mount Joy
will still have a chance to win
the section, but it is the last
game that any Mount Joy High
School basketball team will
play in the Mount Joy High
School.
At the present time, Marietta
High School has 9 leagues wins
and no losses. Mount Joy has 7
wins and 1 loss. The loss is that
which the team received at the
hands of the Marietta team at
Marietta. There is a one-game
difference because a game sche-
duled between Mount Joy and
Hempfield for Christmas week
was postponed until next week.
Friday night's game will
mark the end to high school
basketball on the local court.
The Hempfield game is schedul-
ed to be played in Landisville.
Coach Houck's start
ing lineup will be Henry Klugh,
captain: Jay Metzler, Joe Web-
