PARSONS GAME IS CANCELLED High School Basketeers Will Not Play Here Tonight, The basketball game between the Parsons and Pittsburg high schools which was to have been played at the Y. M. C. A. here tonight has been cancelled.

Coach Raymond Markley of Parsons wired last night that three of his players were sick with the influenza and that he would be unable to bring a team tonight. A game will be played as a substitute between the local highs and a team representing the local Y. M. C. A.

This will be the final showing of the Pittsburg highs. The highs are in good condition and were firm in their belief that they would, close the season by handing the Parsons crew a decided defeat. The playing of the Pittsburgers has been exceptional this season, considering that the boys went through the year without a coach. Whatever was gained was gained purely through the cooperation of the players themselves. The Pittsburgers stayed to the finals in the recent Third District tournament at the Normal, going down to their first and only defeat during the meet in the last and deciding game.

Numerous coaches and officials have expressed the belief that the Pittsburgers would have had one of the foremost secondary teams in the state had they had director.
