TOWELERS TOP OFF TRAINING FOR MIAMI GAME FRIDAY NIGHT Kannapolis Club Looks Best This Season and Expects to Give Flor idians Hardest Fight of Their Lives—Famous Cornell Star in the Line-up of Miami Team. Kannapolis, Dec. 29. —Carded to meet the dynamic Miami basketball club here Friday night at 8 o'clock THE CONCORD TIMES, CONCORD, N. C, the Kannapolis ‘Y M oagemen topped off their training last night with a light. workout, consisting of signal drills and a scrimmage. The final practice session of the Towelers was a pleasure to behold. Every man appeared on the floor ns graceful as talent dancers, every move seemed to be timed, every toss of the ball planned to exactitude and ev ery step made according to pre-ar ranged thing like the form in the gapie to morrow night the Floridians will be forced to wear rabbit feet to praerge triumphant. i The Miami club, however, 'boasts of an imposing record of fifteejn con secutive wins and declare the locals will bp just another victim. 1 Prac tically ail the games won by the Florida outfit were registered by big scores. Richmond was crushed 77-10; Nor folk 42-29; Wilmington 80-31; and Newport News 60-34. The quint. according to press reports, has worst ed other fast teams by similar score#;, more than 40 points a game having been recorded during the season’s play. The team is composed of erstwhile college stars, who have put their names in big headline type of starry achievements for their alma mater.

Boh Hunter, the center, is one of the tallest ami best pivot perform ers in the amateur business today. Towering six feet five he stretchesj above other men on the court line a palm over a southern corn field, aecroding to Harry Griffin, sports editor of the Charlotte Observer, who saw him play against the Charlotte Y. M. C; A. outfit last night. •loe Hoffman ami Jimmy Houck were rated all-Maryland guards for two straight years. Low scores chalked up by opponents attest the worth of these two defensive satellites ami while they do not attempt to get on the scoring end often, they can be depended on for jiointe when points are needed. Apparently the Floridians are strong individually, yet the real strength of the dub lies in its uni- I tied team play_as ev'dem-ed last sea son and during the current cam paign. The passing attack of the , team is versatile and outstanding. Seldom is the ball dribbled. Short aud accurate passes and long speedy ones send the ball away from foreign territory and makes the game fast ami exciting. The Kannapolis line-up against the ! Miami club will have ‘‘Dribble’’ Smith ! ami “Smoky” Johnson at forward, Apex Gillam at center, Ray Roberts and Fred Helms at guard. The re j serve roster will include “Blaekie” Miller. “Country” Rollins. Watt Wal j ter, 1 ,eo McCarnes. .lack Troutman I and Saunders, recent addition to the outfit. ) Stroupo. of Mt. Pleasant, will like ily work the game as referee; Rube i Sherrill will score, and Dr. White j will act as timer. LARGE CROWD OF KANNAPOLIS.
