nTULAR F|VES SET
RECORDS ON COURT
Tech and McKeesport, Meet
ing Here Friday, Have Won
Nearly All Their Games.
BY II. e. P<RD.

When Technical High meets the
Mckeesport. Pa. High School basket
ball team in the Catholic University
gymnasium Friday it will face a team
which, like itself, has been proven
consistently superior to other scholas-
tic quints in the locality in which it
plays The Mckeesport five has won
practically all it's contests, Just as
Tech has, and the game should be
one of the best played here since
Western High met the championship
five from New England some years
ago. Both schools have set records
for themselves in games won and
lost.
McKeesport is making a trip to
" Washington which includes games
with Wilmington High School, Tome
School, Baltimore Polytechnic 1nsti-
tute and Tech. The squad is rather
light for championship combination,
averaging less than 140 pounds, with
four players seventeen years of age
and one eighteen. Despite that. the
only one game out of fifteen played
and otter dropping that game turned
around and defeated the team to
which it had previously lost.
Techs quint is heavier and the men
are older than the aggregation repre-
Manual Trainers also have an excel
lent record, having won all sixteen
games played with scholastic quints.
A big crowd of Tech supporters are
sure to attend the game. which is to be
played in the Catholic University gym
nasium. The Manual Trainers follow
ers are anxious to see how their favor
ties are going to stack up against a
championship five from another section.
Catholic University has arranged a
feature relay race for it's meet. in which
it is to face George Washington and
Gallaudet. The Brooklanders also have
scheduled several relay events be-
tween. scholastic fours which should
be attractive.
Coach Bill Foley has developed sew
eral men for the Catholic U. squad
upon whom he depends for a good
showing. Foley says that he has one
or two runners who are likely to
spring a surprise, if he is not mis-
well be said that Bill seldom is mis-
taken when he praises one of his
own men.
College base ball is being delayed
this spring to an extent which makes
almost certain that the local squads
will not be in good shape when the
season opens. Usually squads in this
section are hard at practice by this
time. but it is doubtful If any team
has been able to get in even one day
of outdoor work. Two. orsthree days
have been sufficiently warm for base
ball, but the condition of the ground
prevented practice. And even II 1t
gets warm within the next few days
it is doubtful if the fields will be
thawed out and dry enough to play
on within two weeks.

The base ball fan is a peculiar in
dividual. He goes out to the ball
park to see Babe Ruth because of his
ability to bat. principally because of
his ability to make home runs. Ruth's
swatting ability was the magnet that
drew him to the game. Yet if that
same fan is pulling against Boston

Yet these same fans. if they are pull

satisfaction than seeing either knock

Naturally, if there is one thing Babe
Ruth hates it is to strike out. 1t is
all the more cutting if he whiffS with
a couple Of runners on the bases and
a couple of runs needed to win. Babe
has such confidence in his ability to
hit that he regards it as an imposi-
tion for a pitcher to strike him out.
He doesn't mind it quite so much. if
he takes healthy cut and misses the
ball, but he does hate to have the UNI
pire call the third one and deprive
him of his last chance. Babe seldom
says a word about the first two, but
he can yell murder at the arbitrator
