Philadelphia. Pa, Jan. 26.-St Jo-
seph's Prep made 1t three straight in
the Catholic Schools Basketball
League yesterday afternoon in the
ONE court of the college. when the
Salesianum Catholic High five. of Will
nington. made its first appearance in
Philadelphia as member OF the
Catholic League. The Wilmington
boys gave Johnny LAWNS players a
hard tussle, but were forced to take
he short end of a 20-l6 score back to
the Delaware city.
Salesianum, with a team OF rangy-
ooking lads, much taller than any of
81. Joe's players, lost to Villanova
Prep by a one-point margin on Sat-
irday night, and yesterdays defeat
was also a hard one to take.
St Joe got off to an early start, and
n the first half, piled up a fairly good
margin. This ended 1927 in the Stiles
street teams favor.
St. Joseph's second team came
through with q victory. defeating
Salesianum Reserves by 4 22-13 score
