The league schedule is not ex- pected to get underway until well into the new year but judging by the way in which the exhibition encountem have been shaping up hoop fans are in for some excl:- ing struggles.

Both Prince of Wales and Navy have been absorbing defeat at the hands o1 the other two in the weekly exhibition encounters but. at the same time have been put- ting up stiff fights, and if either add a little more polish to their attack might well create an out- standing upset when playoff time rolls around next April.
