Belief that Spurgeon Cherry would be well enough to be in attendance at his classes today, was expressed by the father of the pivot man of the high school basketball team yesterday afternoon. A fever in attendance with an attack of tonsillitis had subsided and his general condition had so improved that hope was held that be would be capable of playing Friday morning at Gainesville for the state championship.
At the same time word was heard that Jimmy Adams, guard of the Yellow Jacket team, who was stricken with appendicitis and operated upon Tuesday afternoon is resting quietly and is well on the way to recovery. Of course any possibility of his getting in shape in time for the tournament is out of the question.
Team Works Hard
Meanwhile practice sessions continued as usual with drills to sharpen teamwork and basket shooting marking the workouts. The balance of the squad seemed in good physical condition yesterday with a fine spirit evidenced, those left seeming imbued with the idea that the least they could do was work harder for their coach.Leesburg fans are speculating as to the probable outcome of the game the Jackets play Friday morning as the curtain raiser of the annual state tournament, some confident that the local boys can take the measure of the doughty Andrew Jackson five, others remembering a 19 to 9 score in favor of Coach Ray Dickson's team earlier in the season.
It seems as though many Leesburg fans will join the caravan to the University City early Friday morning for the 8 o'clock engagement to see for themselves whether the Leesburg team has the stuff to come through.
