WE BOARD ' Basket Ball Is Gaining as Money-Maker WESTERN HIGH FIVE DISPLAYS STRENGTH Displaying a brand of basket ball that promises to cause trouble for the other scholastic quints in the coming title series, Western High School de- teated the Gonzaga five, 34 to 15, yes- terday, on the latter's court. Western's ability was demonstrated in the last half of the game, when it checked Gonzaga's scoring streak and gained a much greater margin over the 1 Streeters than the crack tern five was able to do three days before. After the first period, in which they scored 12 points, the Gonzaga court- men were never allowed a basket from scrimmage, their three remein- Ing points coming from free throws Western led at the half, 17 to 12. Lamar, Garber and Dulin led the scoring for the Georgetown school, the first accounting for five field goals, while the two others registered three each.
