Tech Ta STORTS. - GETS PUBLIC HIGH TITLE WITH WIN OVER EASTERN Largest Crowd -Attending Game i)uring Champion- * ship Set Sees. Gray Score 27-23 Victory in Last-minute Rally on Its Home Floor. BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR. O far it has been a big school year for Tech, athletically. Win- ner of the public high foot ball championship last Fall, the Mc- Kinley institution today is boasting the basket ball title, as the result of a 27-23 victory yesterday over Eastern, achieved through a dramatic late rally, characteristic of athletic teams which wear the gray. Tech won the court championship by capturing six games and losing two. Second place honors will depend on the -outcome of the final series game Tuesday between Central and Western. The Red now is in second ‘place, with four wins against three defeats, but should it fall before Central will and Eastern, each with four victos ern drubbed Central, 36 to 18, in the first round. Business several | days ago “clinched” last place. It may be that Tech will have to be content with the foot ball and basket 'ball championships for the 1929-30 season. Prospects. are not bright in either track or base ball, comparatively little sea- soned material - being at hand. However, the Gray was not over- burdened with seasoried timber in basket ball, and its foot ball team was made up largely of players of limited experience, so.it pos- sibly is too early to speculate seri- ously on how the boys may fare on the cinderpath and diamond. In vanquishing Eastern yesterday to achieve th: title Tech once more showed its ability to deliver the punch ‘at the right time. History has only repeated itself in'the current court set in so far as the play of the McKinley quint has been concerned. On.the hardwood, on the diamond, on the gridiron and on the cinder path the boys who have up- held the Gray have won so many con- tests by strong finishes, at least in re- ;er;@t years, ‘that it. appears almost a abit. Tech Wins After Poor Start. ‘Tech came on to win. this season’s court championship after losing two. of its first three games. = After bowing to Business and Central and winning over Western, Coach Artie Boyd's boys came back to conquer Eastern, Business, ‘Western, Central and then -yesterday | P- Coach Boyd has a-right to feel quite set up over his team's win..

Eastern, through personal fouls, lost Joe Robey, stellar center, but Bill Noonan, who subbed for Robey in the final ‘quarter,. topped Eastern’s scorers ‘with seven points, and Bennie McCul- Jough, with six markers, was another ! standout. of the Light Blue. It was McCullough's first series game, schol- astic difficulties having kept. him out hergtofore. He gave a bang-up ex- hibition. ‘This series-concluding game . marked the last appearance in public high com- petition of several g members of the championship Tech team. Capt.

Robinson won two of the three cham- pionships, beating out Irving Jaffee of New York, member of the last United States Olympic team, in each instance.

Last year when Murphy and Purdue met Chicago in Patton gymnasium, the | Br Big Stretch set a new individual scor- ing mark of 26 points. Last Monday night Murphy broke scoring 28 points to lead his mates to a_ 60-to-14 triumph over Ohio State.

George Washington was victor in the first of the two games scheduled for this season by 29 to 22, but that was when it had all its players available. Last Saturday night North Carolina State defeated Maryland by 28 to 26, and about two weeks ago the University of North Carolina took the measure of North Carolina State by 27 to 25, which indicates that North Carolina and Mary~ land ought not to be so far apart in the caliber of their teams. .It is likely.that the Tarheels and Old.Liners will s much the same kind of-games that toak. place with North Carolina State, and with Washington and Lee and Duke also, for that matter. Maryland has lost three games so far, one by four points, one by two and ‘the other by one.: ha Gallaudet goes:to Towson for & game with Maryland State Normal School ‘in the only other basket ball game sched- uled- for local schools. “Kendall gr:en five expects to -continue ite vies Catholic University's swimming: team, ‘ w‘hlfih ‘mkt. ien-tuni-;le{alw-fi Delaware at Newark last night,- meets Lafayette tonight " at Eastans ! s avy meets two Southern schools this . afternoon in basket ball ..and, w:eszunf.
