This will be the first conference game of the season for Coach Lee's shooters and should be a.real test of the ability of the local squad. on the floor this season and are Charles City has a veteran team expecting a very successful. year. Oelwein showed of form in winning their firat two games of the season from Maynard but also showed many places where there is much room for improvement. The team's inexperience is showing up in their wild passing and general erratic play.

There seems to be quite a bit of ability in the squad hut as yet it has not been coordinated into smooth team play. However, the team is till of pep and fight. and are sure to make an interesting fight out of the game There is always keen rivalry between Charles City and Oelwein and the visitors will no doubt be out to avenge the anexpected one point defeat O. H. S.

handed them on their, own floor last season. There will he two games tomorrow with the team meeting some worthy foe in a short game at 7:30 p. m. The "big" game will get underway not. later than 8:30 p.
