Fine Mix-up in Basketball
Will Be Seen.
BY BRYAN MORSE.

There may be a tie in the interschol-
astic championship basketball series, II
Cathedral comes through with a win
over Business in its final battle on Fri
day. The dopesters have figured it all
out that Cathedral is certain to win. fol-
lowing its showing in recent games.
At present Business stands at the top
of the heap with a clean record East
ern. Western. and the Army and Navy
Props have been vanquished by decisive
scores, and the Orange and Blue feels
safe in predicting a win. Army and
Navy just now is practically out OF
the running. as is Eastern. but a defeat
for Business by Cathedral would cause
an upset.
The Capitol Hill lads showed excep-
tional form throughout the series, win
ming the first game from Western, get
ting a flying start until stopped by
Business a week ago. Army and Navy
was soundly trounced by Business. but
came through with wins over Cathedral
and Western. and with Western yet to
be met, should stand with three wins
and one loss when the series is ended.

dral. which. by consistent work lately.
has shown enough to warrant the pre-
dictlon that the meeting with Business
is one long to be remembered. The ad-
dition OF Coburn to the Cathedral Quint
has produced one of the best forwards
In the series. The youngster proved in
his last game that he is entitled to con-
sderatiOn as an accurate shot from
amy part OF the floor and one OF the
fastest OF the players on his feet.
Cathedral will present ,loburn and
Brewer at forwards. Holmes at center.
and Lockwood and Ireland or Crawford
IN the guards positions. The series may
be showed forward bit if arrange
ments can be made, and the other teams
may meet earlier than they re now
scheduled.
