EASTERN PROVES EASY
FOR WESTERN TOSSERS
Capitol Hill Quint Puts Up Brilliant
Fight. But Are Outclassed by Red
and White by 49 to 8.

Western took Eastern into camp in yes
terday's attraction of the Interscholastic
League. Although the score was one
sided, 4s to S, Eastern never gave up
the fight until the final whistle. The in
ability OF Peine to shoot "snowbirds''
intrusted to him rendered 1t possible for
the century mark to be reached, but his
team mates kept feeding the ball to him,
only to see him miss.
Peck at center and Smith at forward
were the shining lights of the game, the
latter being particularly good on playing
the floor, besides caging five baskets
from difficult angles for his teams total
The former, however, is not credited with
as many baskets as Is generally the case,
but he did more than his part TOWARD
swelling the Western score.
Steltz and McGlasson. of the Eastern
ers. did the best work for their team,
Steltz keeping Peck guarded at all times,
while McGlasson got one of the two
baskets credited to his team. The line
