CENTRAL HIGH TAKES
TUCK OUT OF ENEMY
Ancient Rivalry Results in
Close and Sensational Game
With South Side.
CORR MARVEL ON FLOOR

Central High won from South
High at the "Y" gym Saturday, by
score of 20 to Is. The game was
zip and tuck from the call OF time
until the final whistle. South High
should be given due credit for the
wonderful battle they put up against
Omaha. Corr, the South High cap
tain played a wonderful showing
playing the floor in great style and
incidentally making twelve out of the
total eighteen garnered by the South
High aggregation.
The Omaha team was forced TO
battle the full time, but showed they
had the fight by coming up from
behind in spite of i'll luck in locating
the basket and emerging victors.
Patty and Smith, Central High for
wards, bombarded the basket
throughout the game. but the ball
rolled out in a tantalizing manner
on numerous occasions. Smith also
played a great floor game, seeming
to be in on every scrimmage that
took place,
Midgets Are Active.
To the diminutivc Paul Koneckv
and Turk" Logan should also go a
great deal of credit for the victory.
Although South High was forcing the
battle throughout, these men broke
up numerous plays that seemed 10 be
destined to end i'll two points for the
South Side. Etter and Emigh, South
High guards, were little behind
Omaha and made Central High re-
sort to long range shooting TO win.
Maxwell, playing his first full home
game at center, played a fast game,
although his playing was necessarily
overshadowed by the wonderful exhi-
bition put up by his opponent.
South High started out in a hurry
after time hat been called in the first
half and for short time it looked
bad for Central High South High
tailed two field goals before Cen
tral High was able to score and that
only free throw. Towards the close
OF the first half the battle was fast
and furious with Central High rapidly
getting together and overcoming the
lead. The half ended with the South
High side leading by lonely tally.
Sensational Play.
On the first play after time had
been called in the second half the
ball was passed to Maxwell directly in
front of the basket, The latter leaped
into the air and put the ball through
the ring for the most sensational
basket made throughout the game.
Ettcr of the South Side was removed
from the game shortly afterward,
having accumulated four personal
fouls.
Smith followed shortly with a field
goal but Corr tied up the game at
eighteen apiece with field goal and
free throw. Patty Gagged the winning
basket with several minutes to play
and Central by all alright defense
maintained their small lead until time
was called. From the spectators
standpoint the game was all that
could be desired with both teams in
the battle every minute and the scores
varying only few points through
out.
Omaha High will not play at home
next week, but will take a three-day
trip into Iowa, playing Jefferson,
Boone and Fort Dodge in the order
named on Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday nights. The lineup:

The velocity OF the army Springfield
