DeIinquenS Back in Game

Members of both the Central and
Technical basketball squads held prac-

ton for their first tilt in the series of
two games that will be played Friday
night in the Chestnut street hall. In
this series Central has emerged the
winner within the last several years.
This season Tech according to the
general belief has better chance
than ever. Had the Central team re-
manned intact during the season, there
would likely be a different story to
tell. But with the team broken up,
and using substitutes during the last
month, the advantage is all the greater
for the Maroon tossers.
