Cited by MacArthur The affair, fir.st of its over to be held in Chino, will honor the young man who was citod by Gen- Douglas MacArthur for exceptionally meritorious service in the South Pacitic and will be carried out on Claremont to Re-Open Tri-County League Play Here Next Friday Basliotball, which had its interim In thc 20-30 tournament during the holiday period, will talte up again In the TriCounty league next Friday with Claremont's Wolfpaclt coming to Chino to continue the lirst round of play. In that game the once-defeated Wolfors will bo trying to knock the undefeated Cowboys out of tho tie with Bonita. And basing judgment upon tho performances of the Cowboys and Claremont in thc tournament, it should bo quito a battle. Not only that, but the defeat chalked up ag.ninsi the visitors was only a one- pointer In an overtime gamo with Bonita. We have it on good authority that Coach "Hank" Ahzderian did a lot ot snooping during the tournament and came up with tho prediction that tho C'owtioys havo a good chanc-o to tako tho league this yoar but they are in for plenty ot trouble all along the line.

However, quoth the coach, his fears right now aro in what he saw in tho Citrus Cougars, beaten once by the The Cougars showed great improvement and sorvod tico in loping to Burbank and Colton that they vvill be tough hombres in the future for any Tri-County outfit. Right now it looks like Puente and aro the outsiders and long-shots of tho league and while Bonita and Chino are riding the crest momentarily, it looks like a toss-up for the crown bofore tho home-and-homc season has been completed.
