REGISTERS SCORING
MARK FOR SEASON
Central Defeats Eastern,
35-19-Tech Wailops
Western, 32-11.

Not satisfied with winning the
high school championship. Central
stepped out at the Coliseum yes
terday afternoon and set the sea-
sons interhigh scoring record by
plling up IS points against East
ern's 10. In the other game at the
Central gym. Tech mopped up the
floor with Western in climbing into
second place by a 32-to-Il count.
Central did not have to show all
II had In stock to wallop Eastern.
After the regulars tucked the VIC
tory safely away, Coach Jim Colli-
flower trotted out his reserves to
see how they would perform under
fire. The second-string men played
a prominent part in helping Centrai
crash the scoring record. Eastern
also sent in the reserves in the
closing stages.
Central wasted little time in as
suming the lead in the beginning
OF the game. On the first play of
center. McFadden got the tap which
enabled Dey to shoot into the pack
for the leather. He then tossed
a field basket. On the next play.
Birthright went down for a field
basket. For the remainder of the
game 1t was merely a question of
how many points Central would
score. During the melee the Blue
and White dribblers hit the iron
rim for II baskets. while the best
their opponents could do twas to
register 4 times FROM scrimmage.
Birthright had a field day. The
big boy got ) field baskets, and
also made 6 out of 10 attempts from
the free line. His floor work was
on a par with his scoring ability.

Most OF the present-day trouble In
football. as we see 1t. Is not with
professional teams or professional
promoters, but with the college men
themselves.
Have they become so fragile In a
moral or spiritual way they can't be
allowed to walk near temptation?
Has there been any law passed COM

accept money from a pro team and
then lie about it?

place at the expense of Western.
The Manual Trainers PLAYED a smart
game and took advantage OF every
opportunity. The tight defensive
play of Coach Apples proteEes held
the Western shooters to a pair of
field baskets.
Western played a listless game in
spots. The Georgetown tossers had
plenty OF chances to shoot. but
could not find the rim. Most Of
their pegs for the basket had to be
made on the run.
A field basket by Quesada put
Tech in the lead early in the first
period. and the Manual Trainers
stayed out in front for the remain
der Of the contest. Techs best ex-
hibition came in the second quar-

two baskets on overhead shots.

 Anderson Had Severe Cold. Policeman Charles Anderson said he was suffering from bad cold last week, and that 1t was for this reason, and not because of any knowledge he had about a K. K. K. meeting or any person attending 1t, that he remained away from the meeting. Chairman Dunn asked him if he had missed drills in the past. The policeman said that he had, and that In some in- stances he called up the office and asked permission to absent himself.

 Policeman Thomas Tlerney said his wife had undergone slight opera tion last week, and for this reason he was unable to attend the drill. He said he knew nothing of the K. K. K. meeting, and he did not hear about 1t until he reported for work at the station house last Friday night. He admitted that he was careless in not reporting his wife's illness to the chief, and securing permission to re- main away from the drill. Commis- sioner Jackson asked the policeman if, under different circumstances, he would have attended the weekly drill and the policeman replied in the af- frmative. The policeman said that in the past he has been absent from drills, and 1t was simply not giving the matter serious thought that had kept him from notifying the chief. The. hearings then closed.
 Chairman Dunn scored the men who failed to attend the meeting be- cause of the fact they had heard that a certain man had attended a meet ing of an organization to which they were opposed He cautioned them about failure to obey the orders of the chief in the future. The chair man said that whether Hergstrom at- tended the klan meeting was not suf- ficient reason why the men should act as they did and violate a rule of the department. The chairman said that an order is an order. The chair man assured the men that the chief and the police commission would not ask them to do anything unfair. If the men feel that they are capable of running the department themselves | then it is time for the chief and the | board to step out. The policemen l were then excused.
 Sergt. Ellinger Criticised.
 Chairman Dunn called Sergeant | George c. Ellinger before him. The chief was questioned regarding the feasibility of having the men report to him at the drills each week to check up absentees. Sergeant FL finger, with Policeman veley and Policeman Cabelus, were at the Y. M. ]
