BY BILL COYLE.

Unless Western or Business can
pull the unexpected today, the
South Atlantic scholastic basket
ball championship will go to Balti-
more for the SECOND consecutive
year.
This was the consensus of opin-
ron of the fans who witnessed seven
and half hours of basketball at
the Coliseum yesterday in the first
and second rounds of George Wash
ington Universitys second floor
carnival. Western and Business
earned their way into the semi
finals with Loyola High and City
College of Baltimore.
District fans who pinned their
faith in Tech to hold the Bryan
Morse trophy in Washington for a
year. were disappointed. Tech put
up its worst exhibition of the sea-
son in being eliminated by the City
ColleEe of Baltimore. The Tech
team appeared to be every bit as
good as the City college Quint, but
the District athletes were unable
to get started. The passing OF the
Manual Trainers near the basket
cost them enough goals to win a
dozen ordinary ball games.
Western knocked off Gonzaga in
the noon-time game, "a to IS and
repeated in inc of the matinees
over Hyattsville. 50 to Is. Coach
George Green's boys drew set ups"
in both rounds. though it was the
only District club that displayed
real form. The Georgetown game
sters are to oppose the Baltimore
City College in the first game of
the semifinals this morning. On
the form played by the clubs yes
terday it looks like an even bet
between these clubs.
Coach Mike KelIey's Business
High won the right to hook up
with the Loyola Quint, of BaIti-
more. at IL O'Clock this morning
in the semifnals by nosinE out the
Georgetown Props, 16 10 Is. The
playing of the Garrett Park boys
was one of the big surprises of
the day. In McNulty, the club
has a giant pivotman, who is a
regular bear cat. He has a pair
of able assistants in Kid Walsh,
a f1yweight forward. and Reynolds.
a consistent foul shooter.
Business won, but the club did
not show its best The Stenogs'
poor showing can be attributed to
an injury TO Dennis. He was
fioored in a collision and hurt his
shoulder.
The "Stenogs" will likely prove
the softest kind of picking for the
Catholic tossers of Baltimore. This
Baltimore team is about the
misunderstanding scholastic ma
chine that has .graced a District
floor this year, not barring Central
High. 1t has not lost a game
this season. having cleaned up
everything in its division in Bal
timore.
Only a miracle can keep Ioyola
from the championship today. No
team that has appeared in the
District this year played a smarter
game than the Baltimore tossers
showed yesterday. Their exhibit
ton of dribblinE was a revelation
to the spectators. Every player
on the club knows how to take
the ball up and down the floor
and they can shoot from any
angle. The Catholic tossers take
few wild shots as they have the
knack of getting within scoring
distance before testing their eyes.
