The tie for the leadership in the In
terscholastic Basketball League was
broken yesterday afternoon when South
ern High beat Central High. 2S-15. The
ability OF the downtowners to break
through Central's defense and register
field goals was responsible for the de-
feat Of DR.. O'Brien's proteges.
NentIhi eutereu tue game IOT JHe uTSL
time In recent years favorite to win
from the Red and Black. 1t was thought
that the great work Of Bill Murphy, the
Mirrors captain, in registering foul
goals would turn the tide in favor of
the Broad and Green streets institution.
However, the Southern team had only
nine fouls called, and out Of those Bill
could garner only three points. He also
tailed pair Of two pointers.
Reds" Scherr and Koch starred for
the Red and Black on the offense. Both
youngsters made four field goals, and
played wonderful floor game. Eddie
Goldblatt also scored pair Of double-
deckers, but he shot only two out of ten
foul tries into the basket. This Is the
poorest record be has made this year.
Abrams took his place at the 15-foot
mark. The latter dropped four out of six
attempts into the net.
Captain Howard Stevenson was too
much for Germantown High in the game
with West Philadelphia High. The YER
satile Orange and Blue leader started
the game at guard, and, after ringing u
couple of field goals and five out Of
seven foul tosseB into the basket,
switched to forward.
Az llt lllit VI oUtNcuSOI y clanne or
position, Germantown was leading
West Philadelphia, 17-16. However,
Howard got into goal shooting form,
and dropped two field goals into the
basket in succession. Later on he
registered another, and brought his foul
goal record up to ten out of nineteen.
"Si" Lungren, though put out of the
game for personal fouls, succeeded IN
doing whnt no other center in the league
has accomplished-shu out POT" Ell
liott, the lanky Speedboy pivot. Lun-
gren played star game throughout,
as did Gene Barrett, This teammate.
Frankford managed to win its first
league game Of the season by beating
Northeast High, 36-32. Northeast was
dangerous during the entire game, and
it was only in the final minute that the
outcome became a certainty.
West Philadelphia, Southern, Cen
tral and Germantown now are tied for
leadership Of the Reserve League. Each
team has won two games and lost one.
Previous to yesterday Germantown and
Central were the leaders. However,
West Philadelphia stopped the Give
dens, while Southern beat Central, thus
tying the four teams.
