Chance in Scholastic Cham
pionship This Season.
SCHOOLBOY COMMENT

So far this season very little has been
Eaid about the chances of the Business
nine in the ing scholastic champion
ship as the other teams had a decided
jump ON the StenoGra pliers, but from now
on the Business team will bear notice
Coach Whites charges were unable to
start training with the othrr teams

basketball league holding ont PRACTICAL

few games through this fact Il very I'M
favorable impression WAS made.
Tho StcnoGraphers went into The games
without a captain and thoroughly out of
condition and even with these two set
backs came through. Following the Drac-
tice on Friday the team got together and
elected Perry G Dowrirk. a junior ~
captain for the coming season. and al
though Ray Wise was slated for the
honor of leading the squad this year,
his election was popular one

team. which is one Of the best of the
scholastic organizations. hung defeats
on Western and Technical this past
week by decisive scores. Considering the
fact tIat very few men are available for
more than one year and only few of
those reporting have had past experience
in the sport Coach Ncwberry has done
wonders with his green material. and
with few more games is bound to give
the best Of the high school teams run

the Rhode Island avenue school. Coach
White is now trying to dfveloD another
pitcher to help Little with the work.
Thus far Wassman, who is used as
catcher, pitcher, outfielder and intielder.
looks the most promising, and with the
proper sort of handling should come
through.
Most OF the high school mines will leave
Monday or Tuesday their annual
Easter trip through Virginia. Eastern
