Business is out to crack the exist
ing records in league basketball
games today, believing it can roll up
a big total against Eastern in to-
days Interscholastic Basketball
League game at the Arcade. The
Stenographers expect to better the
mark Of as points made last year
and this season by Western as the
high water marks of the circuit.
The Stenographers will present
the same lineup that totaled 80
points against Friends for a record
score, and 72 against Gonzaga. Buck
Wise, who has been handicapped by
a bad knee is right again and can
be expected to contribute at least
70 per cent more to the attack. Bust
ness believes that if the St. Albans
team, composed of inexperienced
players, can get to Eastern for forty
points, something like a total Of
eighty can be registered.
