Prospects Bright for''Basketball '
Here this Season. Old Skating
Rink rented for Practice.
The Washington High School has
organised a basketball team and the
prospeete^are very bright for a 1
first clsss team thla year. Although '
the boys are "green" at the game [
there is some very good material ^
and by continually practHh** doubtleaa
within the next few weeks tlysy
will be sble to go np against any
team In the state. The team has
rented the old skating rink on North
Market street and In all probability
will hare their first game In one
or two weeks. Basketball is practically
a new game^in Washington
'and oHbl* I* tfce tint time (hat a
team has ever been organised It
should be heartily encouraged. Almost
every other town _ln North Carolina
has a team of this character. '
Owing to the fact basketball Is
becoming a nptlona^game. the citizens
of Washington ahoold^encourage
the boys by giving them their
support. There has been between
twelve and fifteen boya out practicing
every afternoon and more
have decided to begin practicing
dnrWthe coming week. .The girls i
of High School hare between <
twenty and twenty-five trying for i
the team. At a glance it wlil be
ad?n tfiat SYaehlngton bids fair to '
have a first class basketball teap <
this season. " .
