Matinee at College Park.
By BILL COYLE.
CTEP aside, please, for scholas-
~ tic basketball which will step
- out this afternoon for the
ffrst time this season. Western
and Eastern regulars will "do
their stuff" while q whole flock
Of candidates of both teams will
Try to convince the coaches that
they are entitled to regular Jobs.
Western is dated to muss It up
with Georgetown Preps at the
same time Charley Guyin will be
sending his team against Gallau-
det.
Contrary to expectations East
ern's lineup win not be the same
as last season. In the first place
It looks as though Joe O'Dea, last
years floor boss. will be shifted
from center to forward; Rouda-
bush, Of last years varsity team,
and Bruce Kessler. Q newcomer,
are being groomed for the other
forward Job.
This Kessler boy IL going to
make q determined effort to crash
into the line-hp. Though this Ia
his first year with the squad he
has lots of experience in other bas-
ket-ban sets. Last season he was
with the Epiphany Juniors. ranked
a. the best In their class.
WILL PACK A PUNCH.
Jack Smith Is trying for the
pivot Job. II he fills the bill. East
ern win pack a much more power
ful kick than last years five.
ODea will not be asked to shoulder
the whole burden and II will give
him more opportunity to rove at
large.
In the backfield will be Leland
Cardwell, captain; Hook and Leh.
merit Out Of this trio Guyon hopes
to develop a stubborn defense.
They have been working together
for sometime and know each
others style.
All in all. Eastern looks mighty
sweet on paper and Is going to
cause a lot of trouble before the
muss is settled.
Things are In an unsettled state
at Central. so far as basketball Is
concerned. Jim Colliflower, who
turned out a championship team
last season IL too busy to take
hold of the job this winter. He
has volunteered to devote one aft
ernoon a week to tutor the court
men in case Of emergency.
A definite decision Is expected
before the end of the week regard
ing a new coach. In the meantime,
Captain Dey has assumed the role
OF coach in preparing his basket
ball pals for their opener Friday
afternoon at home against the
Army and Navy Props.
PLENTY OF MATERIAL.
It will not take much coaching
TO polish the Blue and White
machine. The material is there. In
the first place the Mt. Pleasant
combination has a seasoned and
heady player for the tap off, job
IN Dey. who will be found at center
when the race opens.
An experienced center means a
whole lot to a team, especially in
high school circles. Dey can get
up there to get the tap" That
is a big advantage.
At the forward end will be Birth
right and Childress, OF last years
outfit. Fighting to oust them are
Worley, Merle, Miller and Yost
These young basketball gents are
players Of no mean ability. They
are good enough to keep Birthright
and Childress on their toes.
Ally Johnson, a bundle of speed
and strong enough to stand the
knocks in the backfield and Dick
Johnston look like the strongesl
bets on the defense. johnson can
dart around the floor with the best
of them and he has an able run
ming mate in Johnston.
Bob Hall is one Of the most prom
tsfng candidates trying to horn into
the rear end Of the machine, He
looks good, too.
SEVERE TEST FOR WESTERN.
Coach George Green. Of Western,
10 giving his team the we'll known
acid test for the inaugural The
Western gamesters are scheduled
TO troop to Garrett Park this after
noon for the annual melee with
Georgetown Preps. Reports from
Garrett Park state that Coach Sui
Ivan will trot out a seasoned array
OF talent against Green's dribblers
Green has not selected his lineup
In yesterdays workout, Dulin and
CARRIER held down the forward berths
Captain Paul Frisby was at his old
stand at center and Hannegan and
McNulty were in the backfield.
Western will probably start with
the above lineup, but there will be
many changes and shifts before the
matinee battle is ended. Green fol-
lows the policy of giving every
likely looking player a chance and he
has quite a collection Of good ma
terial
In the scrimmages this week there
was little to choose between the sup
posed regulars and the others. The
fact that there is some good material
on the bench will keep the others
from loafing. They must step in
there and show all they have in
stock. otherwise they will be warm
ing the bench.
TEAM LACKS WORK.
Western will not pack much
weight this season. But what it
lacks in poundage will be made I'D in
speed and above all-fighting spirit.
1t carries punch and does not know
when 1t is licked.
Coach Apple will make his first
