BLUE AND GRAY NOW
CITY CHAMPIONS
Rote Was the Brilliant Star That
Put Tech Down and
Out Last Night

Winning a second victory over the
Tech High basketball team at Chest
nut Street Auditorium last night, score
A to 23, Central High, for the fourth
scholastic championship of the city.
The team also holds the undisputed
championship of Central Pennsyl-
vania.
Tech went down fighting, but it was
the same old story. Rote was the one
big snag with which the Tech players
had to contend. The plucky forward
not only broke up Techs interference,
but shot two goals from difficult an
giles that were among the sensations
of the game.
In the first half Tech lacked shoot
ing ability but played the best game
on the floor. Tech went in with a
team OF cripples and later in the first
half Elmer went out of the game with
the first period Central took a squirt,
and the half ended with the score 19
to IL in favor of Central.
The second half showed the two
teams fighting hard, and there was
some rough work. Central won the
victory because the Blue and Gray has
the best team. l.. Scheffer and Beck
played the best game for Tech. Be-
tween the halves the Central scrubs
played the Tech scrubs, Central win
ming by score of 2s to 16. The line

Globe Democrat has the following &c
say upon the present administration
which is creditabla both to the all
ministration and the Globe, which
seldom has any word of commenda-
ton for things democratic:
"We congratulate the country
upon the passage of the currency
law without the delay recently
threatened, against which we have
protested. We congratulate it more
upon the fact that there was a dis
appearance of party lines, thirty.
seven republicans and number OF

No Combine.

An emphatic denial comes from
the three commissioners who voted
to grant a saloon license at Gil
Commercial avenue that there was
any combination, agreement or UNI
derstanding among them in the
matter.
The reasons of the three COM
missioners for granting the
license were given by Commission
er Howley in substance as follows:
That the removal of the saloon
from the Armory building would be
a good thing because of the tempta-
ton offered to the members of Com
pany X on drill nights, and that
another saloon in the Commercial
