SCHOOLBOY LEAGUE
RACE IS TIED Up
AS EASTERN Wins

Central and Eastern stand tied for the
Basketball League today. Followers Of
the games are sitting back content In
the knowledge that unless something
unforeseen happens the series will be
tight one throughout the season.
The defeat of Business by the Eastern
quintet gave the stenographers the
shock and surprisa Of their lives. In ad-
dition high school fans. and there APP
pear to be many more this season than
last, feel sure that all OF the teams will
give good accounts OF themselves In
the games to come.
Eastern won by the narrowest OF mar
gins. a single point separating the teams
at the end OF the game by a IA to IL
score. This contest only serves to show
how evenly matched the teams are on
the showing made in the three games
played.
business jumped into the first game
OF the title series by defeating Tech, %
to 4. Business won handily running up
a siEeable score. Western and Cen
trail furnished a haIr-raising battle
which went two extra periods TO 10
to 10 win for Central. Along come
Business and Eastern In q Il to u game.
and the series looks TO be the ughtest In
years.
To Willie Thomas. Eastern's floor
captain, must go the bulk OF the
credit for splitting the Business beans
all over the Y. NJ. c. a. fiooklyester-
day. Thomas carried the DIX OF
Eastern's attack, was hard worker
throughout. and was rewarded by see
ing his efforts land a victory for
Coach Battersby in his first game as
a Washington coach.
Business appeared to have a better
passing team, and after a few mo-
ments II looked as though the Capitol
Hill lads were in for a trouncing.
Perhaps Captain Towbes and com
pany were a bit overconfdent. but
when the half ended Business was
ahead by 10 Z. Eastern dropped
behind in the second half until the
score was IL to Z, when Thomas be-
gan some clever floor work, which
brought Eastern on top by a single
point at half time In the second half.
In an effort to catch up, Business
began to throw wildly, with the re-
result that Eastern maintained its
lead to the end. The efforts of Raedy
and Towbes were OF no avail in shoot
ing for Business, nor was Schneider
in the running, as IN the game
against Tech. Business outshOt the
Fasteners in baskets. but Thomas
held the balance of power in shoot
ing six out OF seven free losses, Will"
Raedy could get but three OF his
nine chances.
Central and Technical and West
ern and Eastern take the floor on
Friday in the scheduled double
header in the circuit. Western and
Eastern are on the floor first. Tech.
Il is reported. will ask for post
ponement with Central. as the team
has scheduled two games in Penn
syfvania at Harrisburg and Read
ing.
Central appears to have the best
team in the schools at present. de-
spite the closely contested game with
Western the other day. The Mt.
Pleasant lads arc faster and possess
more team work than any OF the
others. which is expected to be a
deciding factor in the coming games.
