LNRANklE BOYLE, OF the Reading
L Eastern League five. leads the big
basketball circuit in points scored in the
games played to date. The records show
that the feet forward of the Bears has
registered 62 points, a clear lead Of

has compiled so points. Three players
White, Cross and Rcich-are tie away
for third place with 4S.
Steele is the leading field goal shooter
with twenty one, while Eddie Dolin,
frankie Boyle and George Norman are
tied for second with nineteen baskets
each. Three players are well up in
tossing fouls, and well they should be.
Trenton and Reading critics and fans
say the Eastern League referees are
homers (nowhere but in Reading and
thereby if such is the case.
Anyhow, Boyle Is first with "a out
of 80, while Eddie White, of Trenton,
has made 20 out of 40, and Joe Drcy-
fuss 20 out Of 50. Dreyfuss continu-
ally runs with the ball, yet on Saturday
night he had twelve chances to toss
fouls against Chick Passon. OF course.
Batezel is a 'homer."
Nat Holman has also made 20 out of
% shots from the free line, or 20 out
of d chances, the best record in the
league. If Nat played in Reading or
Trenton no doubt he would be the
leader, because the referees being
"homers' he would have busy time

Locals Clash Tonight

The two local Eastern representatives
come together at Chew street and Chel-
ten avenue when Germantown plays
Philadelphia. Both teams are in a rut
and the victory is needed by Managers
Bennis and Myers, but. of course. one
is going to have another loss added to
their already large number.
Myers may have new player on
hand, while Bennis has announced the
acquisition of Harry Hough, the former
recognized peer of cage forwards. Harry
and is in swell condition to play and
he says he is going to make good.
The Manufacturers League plays at
Yonah Hall, 2727 Columbia avenue, and
the schedule reads Barrett, of Grays
Ferry vs.. J. & J. Dobson and Fleisher
VS.. Budd. Dobson is leading with two
wins and no defeats and while they have
the best teams on paper, should get q
hard battle when they clash with Mono
type, which has not lost a game.
Two games in the Vocational Training
Basketball League will be played at the
Central y. NJ. G. A. gymnasium. 1421
Arch street. Temple meets Spring Gar
den Institute and the Philadelphia
Mechanical and Electric five will battle
against the Pierce School. These teams
anu o"tl lubl az
gregation make up the league. The
games already played by the wounded
ex service men who have been placed in
these schools by the United States Gov
ernment have been fast.
The Trenton Tigers kept in the run
ming when they journcyed to Coatesville
last evening and easily defeated the
home team 23-14. The Pottcrs dropped
in nine field goals. Eddie White lead
ing with four. while the best the home
team could do was a pair by Captain
Bill Dark. Thereby hangs the reason
for the one sided score.
Up at Ionan Hall. the American
League inaugurated the season with
some classy basketball. Long shots
were feature and the big crowd was
set in a frenzy by the continually un-
expected and "crazy" baskets that were
sent into the net by all of the four
teams in action.
Nativity looked good. Phil Douglas
starred with six baskets, his team win
ming over Fiftieth Baptist 1922. Each
player on the Richmond five played
wonderful ball. In the other contest
Post No. 26 defeated S. p. II. A. 81 .13.
The latter did not score a field goal in
the last half.

There Is no fervid debate that can

At the end of college football cam
paign the official ranking is generally
decided by the deepest bass or the shrill-

It is mainly question of who can

Princeton on the day Of her final

That's something for Princeton.
But Pittsburgh tackled West Yir-

remained unbeaten.
That's something for Pittsburgh.

then Penn beat Cornell % to 0. That's
merely one small sample.
Penn State started brilliantly and
finished with two ties. Bezdek had to
