With the Cates-Navy "Y" Basketball League schedule successfully completed the different Battalions are whipping their teams into shape for a short Inter-Battalion series. They will play a single round-robin of three games. The Officers who played in the Cates League are forming team that will compete against the different Battalion teams, making two games each night on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday of this week. In the sual outcome, the Officers team will not be counted. They are playisg with the third battalion team each night to get their team ready for the City League which opens December 9.
