nival at Convention Hall March 3.
Bill Supplee. captain of the Maroon
and Gray team, probably will not get
f! into action before the outdoor season.
! He is a weight performer and Coach
Hardell does not intend to send the
boys into anything other than track
events during the indoor campaign.
Central needs only to continue its
steady play to garner the high school
a., basket ball championship this winter.
In its. four games in the series the
Blue and White has not played flash
lily. Instead. its work rather has
! been disappointment to some of its
most ardent admirers, who before the
championship campaign declared Cen
trail would romp to the title. But the
Mount Pleasant boys have gone along
carefully. making few mistakes. and
In every game have held themselves
In reserve. They have demonstrated
clearly their superiority to the other
| contenders for the title. and II would
/ be surprising, indeed. IL the quint did
not get through the series undefeated.
One Of the surprises of the series
has been the Western team. Com
posed wholly of inexperienced boys,
the Red and White has been difficult
| to check in all its trays. In beating
I last years champion Tech five, the
Georgetown athletes provided the
greatest upset of the campaign SO
far. Their victory was no f1uke. for
they clearly outplayed the heavier
Manual Trainers.
It's play in the preliminary games
was not SO good. and its work in
| the series has been falling off since
| the start. The Manual Trainers gave
Central a game battle. but their
showing then PROBABLY was due more
no ir,oh oil
teams in contests with the Blue and
1 White rather than to well planned
| play. Against Western the team
seemed too finely drawn. 1t will take
| Mighty effort to drag Tech out Of
! its slump.
Business and Eastern are suffering
from the same trouble. lack of ac-
curate shooters, and are likely to
finish the series in the last two posi-
tions. The Stenographers have
| well developed passing game that
gives them frequent opportunities to
score. but their tossers rarely locate
, the basket A lack Of capable for
wards forces Capt. O'Dea at center
to carry the burden of the Eastern
attack and. while he has played ex
cellenuy. the task of overcoming

playing Business and Tech meeting
Eastern. Swinging into the home
/ stretch Friday. Tech will clash with
Business for the second time. and
! Central again will encounter West
! ern. Whether the games will be
] played as double headers, at the
| Coliseum, as originally planned, or
! Centrars gym also will be used, as
| was the case last week, evidently
| has not been determined by those in
| charge of the series. Coaches of the

Wednesday IL to be a big day for

tertain the Tome quint of Port De-
posit, Rock Hill tossers of Ellicott
City will visit for a match with st.
