Central High is going after Tech
tcssers tonight. No matter what
sas happened in previous games, the
Blue and Gray cagers are not whip
ped yet. From Central camp comes
the following:
The majority of people believe that
Tech is going to have easy sailing,
Tut Central supporters think just tho
opposite, and are backing their team
TO the limit. Tech is at the head OF
the Central Pennsylvania League
with a record of six games won ana
two lost Central is fourth with ,our
games won and four games los.'
Techs record, therefore, IS much
hetter than Centrars, thereby max
inc them the favorites. However
the Central team has been playing an
cratic game this season, playing IN
championship form one game and the
next game they would play like
bunch of grammar school boys.
Central Takes Brace
After Central suffered a defeat at
tho hands of the Harrisburg Acade-
ny several weeks ago they ,braceo
up and surprised all the dopesters oS
defeating York High, score 5O-z4'
The next night they walloped kead-
ing High, score oV-Gf. A"e
central five played a brand OF pas
lletball which If they equal to-nish'
may bring victory.
Last Friday and Saturday they
rlayed at Reading and Allentown,
losing both games. They outscored
Allentown from the field, but had
too many fouls called on them to
win the game. Because the games
hetween these two schools are al
ways more important than any 9th
er, the Central crowd believes that
their team is going to stage another
comeback and spring a big surprise
or. the Walnut street lads tonight
There will be many interesting
features about the game. The two
captains will be paired off against
each other. Captain Wolfe will guard
certain Huston. The latter has been

Central High Team
To Stage Comeback;
Blue and Gray Dope

leaping to the front lately as one of
the best shots in the league. Cap
tain Wolfe has been playing fine
game all year for Central. He al
ways sets the example for the rest
of the team by lighting hard all the
time. Wolfe can be counted on TO
do his share of the guarding and Will
keep Huston to a minimum NUMBER
of tallies from the field.
Fields Speed Boy

guard, will be pitted against LinSle'
one of the fastest forwards in the
league. These two boys once played
on the same grammar school team.
Both are very fast on the floor All
season Iingle has been playing n
stellar game for Tech. Fields is
considered one of the fastest guards
in the league. He is an excellent
man for working the ball down the
floor and can be counted on for sew
eral goals in every game. His work
on the defense has been great all
year. Tonight he will have
chance to prove that he is the best
guard in the league.
Noble Frank, the high scorer in
the league, will play against Wills
bachA Frank easily surpasses any
one else in the league. All year it
has been the wonderful work of
Frank from the field and the foul
line that has kept Central in the
race. He has scored an average OF
more than twenty-four points a
game. Beck, Techs best guard. will
play against Goodiel. Kohlman and
Wright will be the other pair OF
gladiators.
An enthusiastic mass meeting is
being held daily at Central and an
extra large cheering section is as
sured.
Central practices this week have
been very encouraging 20 Coach wal
