EVENTUAL TITLE-HOLDER

MAY BE DECIDED

Followers of basketball in the Invitation League at the Foreign YMCA. will be treated to some spectacular play to-night when the officers of the Sixth U.S. Marines, so far undefeated in the senior competition, tackle the Triangle Motors quintette at 645 o'clock in a game which, without doubt, holds all the trump cards of the league.

The Tri-Motorists, reputed one of the fastest, most elusive, and highest. scoring team, ever to step on the Association floor, unfortunately fell victims to the Sixth Marines enlisted men more than two weeks ago by a scare of 57-54 in a gruelling battle which took an extra period of five minutes. to settle. Nevertheless, the team is still in the race and will continue to be so in case it succeeds tonight.

Mot only would the motormen's victory mean the entry of the officers into the losing column, but it would serve to give the contest a new angle in that the rest of the leading contenders will have a better chance than before. From this standpoint, the auto dealers are expected to turn in a most determined. fight.
