Coach McConnells Tech High FIVE
left for Lebanon this afternoon to line
up against the Blue and White quintet
of that city in the fourth league game
of the season. To date, the Maroon
tossers have a league record of two
out of three.
Earlier in the season the locals were
able to clean up the Dutch" in a
spirited contest. The loss of the
game for Tech would send them down
peg with a fifty-fifty percentage,
and send Lebanon into second place
with three won out of five played. A
victory means that the Maroon team
will he entrenched in second place
with three wins out of four.
