all FIVE, which made IL one of the
ups we mentioned last week.

Beacon and Goldey in your talk Of

are not up in basketball but I be-
lieve they could round out teams II
given a chance. Besides there are
other sports and if there are no
other schools to go in with Whining
ton High and Salesianum the COM
mercial combinations could round
out a four-cornered race. I don't
know whether Beacon and Goldey

schools would be a great boost for
athletics and for the Institutions en-

and the schools themselves.
