Central Is Winner in
Sensational Game;
Hands SteeltOn Jolt

Central High basketball five last
night defeated Steelton, score 40 to
80. Central outplayed their oppo-
nents in every department They
scored twelve two-pointers to Steel
tons nine. The game was fast and
interesting.
This evens up the series between
the two schools. Earlier in the sea-
son Steelton beat Central at FELTON,
Hall. This defeat and the fact that
il was the last time that Central ana
Steelton will clash athletically, made
the Central lads want to win.
Change in Lineup
Probably the biggest sensation of
the night was the lineup of the Gen.
trail team. Coach Wallower sent Art
Fields to 4 forward position and put
Bill Rodgers in Fields place at
guard. Fields is considered by most
critics to be one of the best if not
the best in the league. His move
from guard TO forward created a
lot of comment. Fields was a trifle
unfamiliar in his new position, but
in spite of this he played an excel
lent game.
He Gagged four two-pointers ard
was all over the floor.
The whole Central team played
good games. The defensive work of
Captain Wolfe. and Rodgers is es-
pecially commendable. Wolfe was
the game and played one of the best
games of his career.
Rodgers in Evidence
Bill Rodgers who had the task of
stopping Mouse Coleman. the speedy
t. Il. !
his part to perfection. Bill held the
Steelton captain scoreless. Rodgers
is a guard that plays his man all
the time and leaves the scoring to
the forwards and the center. Be
cause of this many Central fans are
betting on Rodgers to hold 'Lingle
down next week.
As usual Noble Frank was the
high scorer. He Gagged six goals
from the field and made sixteen out
of eighteen from the foul line Frank
played a mighty good floor game and
easily outplayed Morrett. Wright
played a good game at forward al
though he didn't do any of the scor-
ing. P. Wueschinski and Porr
played the best games for Steelton.
