SERES IARROVED TOTECY, EASTER Former Clings to Lead With Win Over Central—Latter Defeats Business. BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR. ECH and Eastern, it seemed today, will battle it out for the public high school basket ball championship. McKinley today is still clinging to a scant half-game edge over Eastern in the breathless struggle. Tech, victortus yesterday over Cen- tral, 39 to 37, now has won five games and lost one, and Eastern, a 33-29 winner over Business, has four victories against one defeat. Central with three wins and as many setbacks has a chance to tie the two leaders for the title, but a forlorn chance only. Busi- ness with two triumphs against four reverses has joined Western among the also rans. There 1is strong probability that, fittingly enough, the dramatic series will not be decided until the very last game, February 9, when Eastern and Tech 'come to grips for the second time. YESTERDAY‘S games added more fireworks to a bunch of games which have run the gamut of flaming competition. In both games the biggest kick came in the dying moments. Central entering the final quarter trailing, 22 to 36, lashed out in a frenzied rally that was summarily halted by the final gun just when it appeared that the Blue was sure to tie the score. ing this drive. For Tech the game was fought out | along strange lines. Usually the Gray starts slowly and finishes in a rush The opposite was true yesterday.

He was just about the ace of the Lincoln Park team with Jack Bayliss giving him a close rub for honors. Carroll Shore again was Business' big shot. An almost un- failing foul shot, he failed on two in a vital spot in the waning moments, but it would be nothing short of cruel to hold that against a kid who battled so gloriously. Sis Etenstad also showed strongly for Business. Summaries Te G F.Pt: Re 13 Re Daly Reed Russ 5 20 H 2 0 3 1 0 0 3 0 2 0 STRTET] Umptre—Mr. 939 Totals Joe Mitchell. Totals..

BY GRANTLAND RICE HERE 1s, for example, the case of Herr Schmeling, heavyweight champion of the world. A Ger- man correspondent writes us as follows, from Berlin: “The champion is strangely high-brow in his own coun- try and hides himself all the time, dis- regarding both press and public.

UTSIDE of the Schmeling-Sharkey | controversy there is a much better { outlook for the heavyweight divi- | ston than any recent year has shown. | There should be enough action to last for many months with such people as | Ernie Schaaf, Steve Hamas, King Le- vinsky, Ruggirello, Max Baer, Retzlaff, | Poreda, | away through Winter and Spring in an effort to produce some outstanding challenger for the winner of the Schmeling-Sharkey meeting in June. The above list should produce at least one good card and it would be no great surprise to see Schaaf on top when the final selection is made. Schaaf has more experience than most of the others. He can also punch and take his share of the belting. There is still a big chance for some heavyweight who | is willing to fight.

At the tap, the right forward (3) drives straight toward the two centers. At the same moment, right guard (5) breaks at full speed for the basket, directing his run so that he will be & few yards back of (3) when (1) taps (3) the ball. The speed of the play is due to the way (3) handles the center tap. Instead of catching the ball, he merely tips it back over his head so that (5) takes it on the dead run.
