The Red and White, which had been struggling vainly for two seasons to wrest the laurels from Eastern, presented in its opening encounter in the present series a powerful and well balanced team that should take a deal of beating from the four other entries in the round-robin affair. While Western was beating East- ern yesterday, Central lnok the meas- ure of Business in a 32-to-21 engage- ment in the George Washington Uni- versity gymnasium, lifting itself to a third-place tie with Eastern in the league and shoving Its opponent into the cellar berth, Western Team Sturdy. Western not only displayved a de- termined attack agalnst Eastern, but also a sturdy defense. After the first quarter of the fray the Red and about ils offensive play in eflicient manner, while Eastern, although it managed to take a num- ber of pot shots at the basket, al- ways was hurried in its to. 8.

Dulln easily w the outstanding player of the engage- ment. His defensive game was of high order and in attack he was leader. He shot only when he had real opportunities and measured his distances so carefully that the ball missed the mark only a few times.
