He will start against the Thomasville quintet, Grimsley and Frank Gray, forwards; Nick Eppes, center; Bob Foster and Ed Ranew, guards.

Thomasville will bring a reportedly fast basketball team here this evening, and word comes from the Georgia city that they really want this game. Rivalry has always been keen between Thomasville and Tallahassee in all kinds of sporting events, and tonight's fracas promises to continue the legend.

Polished Plate OUTH TODAY AT rake Authorized Plymouth North Monroe Phone 2242 GAME July 7th NORTH-SOUTH Leading Basketball Teams Accept Bids To National Meets NEW YORK. HP) Basketball turned to the post-season tournaments today after crowning all but two of the conference champions.

Bids already have been extended to many of the top quintets for appearances in the National Invitational and NCAA champion ships. Ten schools have accepted in vitations, six to the Invitational tournament at Madison Square Garden starting March 14; three to the NCAA, also at the Garden starting March 21, and one to the Western NCAA at Kansas City March 22. Kentucky, Muhlenberg, St John's of Brooklyn, Bowling Green, West Virginia and Syracuse have accepted bids to the Invitational with two teams still to be named. It was expected that Arizona, Border Conference champions, will become the seventh entry with the other choice probably coming from the south. For some unexplained reason, DePaul, last year's invitational champions, has been bypassed despite this season's 17-5 record against tough competition.

New York University's once- beaten aggregation, generally rat ed the top team in the nation, will represent district two in the eastern half of the NCAA. Har vard has accepted the bid to con tend for district one and Ohio State will compete for district four. No district three selection has been made as yet, with Duke, Southern Conference champs, North Carolina and Louisiana State regarded as the leading contenders. Only Baylor of district six has been named for the western half of the NCAA championships.

Truman Holloway, Golden Gloves boxing champion of the state of Florida in the welterweight division, from the Florida Industrial School for Boys in Marianna, left the campus on Thursday, Feb 28, for Jacksonville where he joined other members of the Golden Gloves boxing team which is representing the state of Florida in the national Golden Gloves tournament which is being staged in iAadison Square Garden, New York City, on March 4, 5 and 6.

He had pre viously won the district title in the Golden Gloves tournament staged at Panama City under the sponsorship of the Kiwanis club on Feb 13, 14 and 15.

The Florida Industrial School for Boys selected a sixteen-boy squad of boxers to participate in the district Golden Gloves tournament through an elimination process lasting several weeks during which approximately 50 per cent of the white boys within the institution competed on a voluntary basis for places on the varsity boxing squad. The most promising candidates' in each weight division were then given an intensive training and instruction program by the school's athletic director in preparation for the series of tournaments. Five members of the Florida Industrial School boxing squad were declared district champions as a result of their victories in the Panama City Golden Gloves tournament. These boys were Truman Holloway, Ralph Thompson, Joe Rodriguez, Race Schultz and Robert Adklson. These five boys, together with Frank Graella, Edward Murningham and Maurice Hope, were entered in the state Golden Gloves tournament in Jacksonville, the latter named boys being entered at the specific request of the Panama City sponsors because of the fine showing they made even in losing.
