and IL they all turn out as well as did the
Ioyola contest there is little doubt that
the Hilltoppers will succeed in estab-
fishing substantial claim to the inter
city scholastic championship. The final
score of yesterdays contest was George
town Props. "a: Loyola High School. -.
The victors took an early lead and then
went on the defensive. being content to
keep the points we'll balanced. In indi-
vidual passing and selection of changes
tor baskets the losers were by no means
lacking, but they were very weak ia
playing as a quint and I'm negotiating
the ring when they had opportunities.

single pointer from Murphy's foul at
center and Heiskell had ended an excel
ent exhibition of team work with goal.
rormey and G. Baummer of the Balti-

baskets. but later q. Baum
