BY EDWARD A. Pes CH'S teams are ‘money’ public _high school athl FULLER, Jr. teams.” Thus a close observer of etics described the combinations which have been upholding the Gray in various sports dur- ing the past few years. “They always seem to come tI tinued this observer.

It appears to us that our friend about sized up the situation. Tech teams somehow seem able usually to deliver the punch that.means victory. It is because its quint was able to score when it most needed to yesterday that Tech today is a full game out in front in the pub- lic high school championship race, and is assured of at least a tie for the title, which it won last Winter, when the regular series schedule closes Friday. The Gray contrived a spurt in the closing minutes of its game| against Central, its arch foe, to gain a 27-25 victory. The defeat eliminated Central as a pennant contender. In the other tilt of the double-header Western con- quered the luckless Business quint, 18 to 15. The defeat shat- | tered all Business’ fopes of get- | ting out of the cellar, it being the | Stenogs’ final series game. ‘Whether Tech can go on to defeat Eastern Friday in the first game of the ‘double-header that will bring the series schedule to a close remains to be seen. Gray teams which have won champion: ships in recent vears on several occa- sions have gained the titles in the final stretch after overcoming & poor start. Certainly Tech got off to & bad start in the series now drawing to a close, losing two of the first three games it played. Since then, however, the Gray has won four straight. If it can make it five straight it will gain the title. Eastern Has Chance. However, should Eastern come through with a win over Tech it will gain a first- place tie with the Gray at five wins and three losses each. Not a few be- | pCl'f; lieve that the Light Blue has a real (Du chance to upset the McKinley team, |Le despite that Tech decisively trimmed Eastern, 47 to 27, in the first Tound. Eastern backers point_out that Coach ‘Guyon' over early season form, as its over Central, Western and Business in second-round play would seem to quite | i Pl clearly indicate. Should Tech again take Eastern PFri- day it is not expected that many spec- tators other than those specially inter- ested in Central and Western will stay for the second game of the double bill which will bring together the Blue and the Red. If, however, Tech falls before Eastern, Western, by defeating Central, can achieve a tie along with Tech and Eastern for first place. Western hung a 36-18 pasting on the Columbia Heights boys in the opening round. In the event of either a double or triple tie Friday there will be a play- off for the title to be arranged by the orincipals of the schools whose quints are involved. Central found Tech a much stiffer proposition than in their first meeting, when the Blue triumphed, 45 to 25. From the opening gun Coach Bert Coggins' boys gave Artie Boyd's proteges the merriest sort of an argument. Central was ahead, 7 to 3, at the end of the first quarter, but ‘Tech managed to get out in front, 11 to 10, at half time. Then Central, in the third quarter, again forged to the front, the period ending with the Blue hang- ing 10 a 19-to-17 edge. In the final quarter, though, led by Capt. MacCartee and Everett Russell, Tech staged the spurt that brought it victory. In the last few minutes Eddie De- Lisio brought Central to just 2 points behind Tech, at 25 to 23, when he flip- ped in a 2-pointer. However, Russell and Lassise followed with a foul shot each to make it 27 to 23. Capt. Wilbur Cross then came through with a goal from scrimmage that again raised Cen- | tral's hopes, but 2 moment or two later | the final gun roared. And when we say | & roared we mean just that. When Of- | ficial Scorer Haight pulls that gun you | hear it if you are anywhere within a | radius of a half dozen miles. Lassise Helps Tech. George Lassise was the big shot in th> Tech attack, scoring 10 points, in- c'riing 3 from scrimmage and 4 from th> charity stripe. Everett Russell, sharpshooting forward, did not make so many points, only 4 to be exact, but he came through with 3 of them in those last vital minutes. Capt. Carl Mac- Cartee played his usual stalwart, steady game at guard for the Gray. Capt. Wilbur Cross scorers with 9 markers and incidentally | regained his place at the head of the series scorers with a total of 60, though ' he shares the. leadership with Capt. Jimmy Thompson of Western. Russell Lampson, rugged Central guard, gave the same steady exhibition he generally does. George Brandt stasted at center ! for the Blue instead of Downey Rice and played well. Contrary to most of their games, ‘Western started strongly against Busi- ness and scored seven points before the | 3 + Stenogs were able to chalk up a single marker, Business did not score until | after 13!, minutes of play. The Stenogs started an_entire second-string team, | but Coach Lynn Woodworth soon ran in | his regulars. Western kept in front throughout, though the desperately struggling i Stenogs crept to just one point behind the Red at 16-15 in the dying moments. Milton Chatlin, however, came through with two tosses from the free line just | Loss. before the final gun to win the game for Western. Little Bobbie Lucas, Business forward, cleverer than ever, was the spark plug of the game, accounting for all except four of his team’s points and playing a whale of a floor game. However, his mates gave hum little co-operation. Milton Chatlin, who, series debut against Tech last Friday led Western’s attack, also was its top scorer vesterday with six points. Capt. ‘Thompson and Rabbitt registered four markers each, and Bob Freeman man- . 8ged to hold Spencer Chase, keen-eyed | Business center, to a point total of ex- actly nothing. Freeman, though, by no means ran wild against Chase, his best ! being one goal from the floor and one from the foul line.

Quintet Plays in Baltimore—Tossers Busy | Here Tomorrow. HERE are only two college events on the card tonight, with the Catholic Univer- sity - George Washington boxing match holding the center of the stage as the lone home at- traction. In the other affair American Uni- versity's youthful basket ball combina- tion will journey to Baltimore to try to take another {all out of the Loyola | quintet. - The more experienced Cardinals are favored in .the bouts, which are slated to start at 8:45 o'clock. There will be the usual seven contests, as follows: 115-Pound Class. Leverton or Cohen (G. W.) vs. De Pasque (C. U). 125-Pound Class. 3vev¢|er (G. W.) vs. Di Giacomo (C. 135-Pound Class.

American U. is sure to have its hands full in the basket ball clash in the Oriole City, as Loyola believes it has a better team and is bent on revenge. In the game here on January 28 the Methodists won, 21 to 18, on a late rally after the Baltimoreans appeared to be on their way to a victory. Four of the local collegiate basket ball teams will see action Wmorrow night, with the Georgetown-New York University game at Tech High gym be- ing the banner attraction. Other contests carded are: St, John's of Annapolis at Catholic University. Western Maryland at Maryland. Gallaudet vs. Benjamin Franklin at Langley Junior High gym. O&wn lg;-{nd( l:le: Yo;:fivnher- e Dl “rul " game tomorrow night. The Hoyas beat folets in the Yale tour- ney, 31 to 27, but later took the short end of a 35-10-27 count in & New York contest. Their trird clash should be a corker, with Coach Bill Dudak’s blue and gray clad tossers favored to eke out & victory. St. John's, Maryland and Gallaudet are heavy favorites to score in the other games. Western Maryland's basket ball team is said to be about as bad as the Ter- rors’ foot ball team was good last Fall. As far as can be learned, the West- minster five has not won a game. Its foot ball team cleaned up & ll-game schedule, including Georgetown and Maryland. sity Georgetown will be playing its seven- teenth game in meeting New York Uni- versity, the Hosas having won 11 and lost 5. George ‘Washin; has won 6 and lost 2; Gallaudet has taken 8 of 11; Maryland has scored 6 times in 9 starts; American University has split even in 8 battles, while Catholic Uni- versity, the only team to be on the wrong side of the ledger, has been suc- cessful only 3 times in 11 contests. However, Georgetown and Maryland have met stiffer opposition than the others and the Old Liners have dropped their three games by a total of 7 points, one by a single marker, another the margin of a lone field goal and the oth- er by a 29-to-25 count. All the teams that have beaten Georgetown, too, are numbered among the topnotchers. St. John's College, which plays Cath- olic University here tomorrow night, won seven out of nine games. Johnnies' losses were to Washington and Lee and a surprise defeat at the hands of Johns Hopkins. Talbot (Tody) Riggs, former University of Maryland athlete, coaches the Annapolitans. He also is director of athletics and grid mentor. Loyola of Chicago will play its second game of its trip when it meets George- town here next Monday, the Chicago- ans, who have won 34 out of their last 35 games, meeting Duquesne Satu-day night on their way to the Capital. A good comparison of basket ball a: played here, farther Squth and in the | Midwest will be afforded by l.byolls‘ trip. as the team also will play Duke, North Carolina and North Carolina State after leaving Washington. Fans who saw the Maryland-Wash- ington and Lee tilt Monday and the Duke-Old Line battle early in January are free to admit that Leigh Willlams, the tall and agile center of the Gen- erals, is faster than Bill Werber, the Blue Devils’ flashy guard. There had been a great deal of discussion of the matter. Werber, who is a former Tech athlete, lives at Berwyn, Md. In discussing speed on the basket ball court, it will be well to mention Maurice McCarthy, Georgetown's clever gnard, and Bozey Berger, who plays center and forward for Maryland. Due to scholastic difficulties, Larry Milstead, captain and half-miler, and John Cranley, quarter-miler, have been dropped from the Georgetown track squad. Both are seniors. Milstead was counted on as a member of the two-mile relay and Cranley was expect- ed to be a regular on the mile team. Coachl John D. O'Rellly is holding time trials this afternoon for the mile and two-mile teams. Candidates for the mile quartet include: Vic Burke, Artie Briggs, Bob Shotter, Louis Ricca, Chuck Carlin, James Nolan, James Brown and Al Helpern. The two-mile team candidates are: Jay Julicher, Jack Mara, James Kelly, John Down- lhn!g. Clarion Cosh and Richard Doug- John Dunn and Ed Leary, forwards, have returned to the basket ball team. Pressure of studies has kept Dunn out and Leary has been nursing a foot ball ankle injury.

Eastern plans to enter a large squad in the Virginia affair, while Tech fig- ures to have 20 or 25 athlefes in com- petition. Hyattsville High probably will send a squad of about 10. With _much experienced material at hand, Eastern, which won the Spring championship meet last year for the first time in the school’s history, is look- ing to another big season. " Tech is handicapped by the loss of seasoned material, including the sensational Jakie Edwards, now at the University of Pennsylvania. Central has good pros- pects. Just how much may be expected of Western, which is going in for track this season on a rather ambitious scale, cannot yet be determined. .
