Tigers Play Gar field Tonight By LUTHER EMERY 1955-56 Washington high school basketball team. that bit of business will take place here tonight when the Tiger quintet makes its first appearance of the season before home town fans. Defeated 69-49 in its opening game of the season last week by Canton Lehman on the Canton field house floor, the Massillon cagers tonight face a rugged foe in Akron Garfield high school. Garfield will have every advantage on the veteran players and game experience. Where the Tigen have played but the one game to date, Garfield has been on the floor four times, winning the first three from Akron St.

Vincent 59-39, Mansfield 67-45 and Ellet 45-30, before bowing to rangy Barberton team 59-45. Garfield is expected to start three players who do 6-3 or better. They are Manzie Winters, 6-4; Bob Spicer 6-3 and Nathan Trachsell 6-3. The Tigers do not have anyone that tall. Only Jim Houston and Bob Seek better two yardsticks and then by just an inch or two.

Seek likewise is the only letterman on the Tiger team. Garfield has eight' of them. Despite the apparent hopeless task confronting the Tigers, Coach Elwood Kammer isn't going to put up the white flag before the game. He is hoping his quintet will have a warm night and surprise the visiting cagers. The Tigers at times in practice have shown themselves capable of playing good basketball, and that's the kind they must come forth with if they hope to win tonight.

Kammer will start Seek, Houston, Fisher, Dave Archibald and Bumper Caldwell. Ray Geckler, Garrel Westfall and Mark Anthony can expect plenty of action Saturday night the Tigeri will alM be at home with East Liverpool furnishing the opposition.
