Last night at Chestnut street hall
the Technical High school basketbalI
quintet cinched the Central Penn
SylVania basketball championship by
defeating Reading, runner-up, by a
40 to So score. 1t was crowd that
taxed the capacity of the auditorium,
and according TO Faculty Director
Grubb. $500 paid admissions wit
messed the struggle. 1t reminded one
of the days when Tech had Central
for an opponent.
Techs victory last night repeats
what Tech accomplished last season.
After having had poer teams for
years the Tech lads suddenly forged
TO the front and won the 1918 PEN
nant, only to repeat it last night
But one more game remains on the
schedule. Steelton at Tech, met Fri
day night, and even though Steelton
should do the almost impossible, and
trim Tech. the local aggregation will
still lead the league.
To come 10 last nights game, it
was case of two good teams meet
ing each other. Reading took des-
perate chances. They shot from the
middle of the floor on more than one
occasion, and several times the ball
slipped through the basket. The
Berks lads knew that it would be
hard to penetrate the Tech defense,
so they took all kinds OF chances
and when five minutes was left to
play. Tech had a lead of but two
points.
AT this stage Captain Lingle,
Frank and Bihl slipped two-pointers
through the net, clinching the game
for Tech. The style of play of the
two teams was entirely different
Readings team play was built
around Nyquist, who is generally
conceded to be one of the best play
ers in the league. With Tech it was
n case of having a well-rounded five
that worked automatically. Frank,
Elmer, L.ingle, Bihl, Wilsbach-all
had a hand in the scoring.
To pick out one man on the team
would not be a fair comparison to
the work of the others. Coach Mill

Sam always likes to give the best he
has and never thinks of stalling when
in the ring.
Here's few words from his training
camp to the Sports Editor OF the Har-
risburg Telegraph: Just word to
let you know that am taking the best
care of myself and am working hard
to get into condition for my fights with
Dave Medar and Otto O'Keefe. 1 am
up every morning at 8 o'clock and start
for a long jaunt on the road. I am
working out every afternoon with good
boxers at the Peerless Gymnasium. You
can tell the Harrisburg fans that they
will see some bout when I clash with
Otto O'Keefe. I don't want to take any
credit away from Otto, for he is a good
shifty boxer. I figure him to be any
thing but set up.
Yours in Sport,
