Tech Wins Title in
Final League Game;
Trim l. entral Team

SCHlldl SCOTe II 10 Go.s II was
decisive victory, the Maroons dis
playing that superiority In the cage
game which was in evidence all sea-
son. 1t was the first time Tech has
won a local cage series between the
two schools. Techs fast floor work
and accurate shooting was 'in evil
dence throughout the game.
The game was the best seen in
! Harrisburg this season. The passing
of the Tech boys was a feature of
the game. Time after time in the
second. half the Maroons passed
around the Central defense for a
score. Tech took advantage of every
opportunity to score and made four
teen field goals. Central was not able
to locate the basket and only Gagged
three from the field. That made the
scoring about four to one. 1t is the
general opinion that Coach Miller
made this years team not only the
| best five to ever represent Tech, but
developed a real champion team.
Central OF in Shooting
Centrars shortcoming was their in
ability to make field goals. More
than once the Forster street team
failed to score because of inaccurate
| shooting. Twenty-Five of Central s
points came from fouls. Nobe Frank,
the Central center, took advantage
of his twenty-siX chances from the
foul line and Gagged twenty-five. The
majority of the fouls called on Tech
were on interference with a Central
man while shooting.
Captain Huston and Beck played
| best for Tech. Each of these lads
got four field goals and Huston Gagged
thirteen out of fifteen from the free
line. Besides being high scorers for
their team these players were in evil
dence all the time in the floor work.
Lingle and Kohlman did good work
for Tech, but were not as good as
Beck and Huston.
Frank scored all but four of his
teams points and cinched the league
scoring honors. Fields and Wright,
the two forwards, played good games
but failed to do much scoring. Fields
was still strange at his position. Cap
tain Wolfe and Rodgers, the two
guards, played very good games.
Captain Wolfe was in every play and
did great deal of the Central work
Rodgers proved his ability as a guard
by holding Lingle, the fastest for
ward in the league, to two goals from
the field.
Referee Carney pleased every one
by his good work. There was not a
kick at any of his decisions and his
officiating was by far the best of any
this year.
