Georgetown was completely outplay-

hilltop. The Gothamites were much too
strong for the local five. and won about

ter material that the weaker could not

Central High and Eastern High are
to meet this afternoon in the Inter-

since the holidays by the acquisition of
men who were ineligible at that time,
while Central should be much stronger
because 1t has been able to get in a
lot more practice.
