Create New Records For
Floor Shooting.
SCHOOLS AWARD LETTERS
Central and Western Give Foot
ball Players Their EmbIems
in School Assemblies.
By BRYAN MORSE.

Existing records in basket shoot
ing are going to fall by the boards
if the pace set in the first games of
the season is maintained through
out the year as marks made by
players on the Western and Bust
ness teams are far in advance of
anything shown in last years bat
ties.
Lester Peine, left forward on
Western, and Bernard Wise, right
forward for Business, have jumped
into the lead in the three games al
ready played, and appear to have
something on all of the other school
boy shooters. In three games Peine
has shot forty baskets, an average
of thirteen, while Wise has Gagged
the ball thirty-eight times in the
same number of contests.
Bill Culligan,. the other forward on
the Business team, has twenty-five
baskets to his credit, while Raymond
holds the title OF record breaker, hav-
ing shot twelve baskets in a title game
last season, is not far behind the lead
ers. with twenty-four to his credit.
OF g. to 80, and in this game Buck Wise
is given credit for shooting twenty-one
\ baskets. The next best mark for the
season is that made by Peine, who
same team. When Western met Busi-
ness Tuesday the Stenographer's aver
age. went by the. boards. as Wise and
Culligan were able to get but five bas-
kets between them off Whelchel and
Sergeant the Western guards.
Besides the Western and Business
players. Miller, of Army and Navy
Props; Marbury. of Central; King. OF
Friends; Smith. of Western: zerbe. OF
Toker. Of St. Adams. hold creditable
records. Familiarity with home gym
nasiums is responsible in a measure for
some of the fancy records. Wise. Peine
Peck. and Culligan. however. seem al
home on any floor and continue boosting
their marks with every battle.

Alumni QuInt last night by a score OF
