or DeMarco will be on the receiving
end. Practice has been called for

In the second period the Speed

the visitors. but in tie closing min
'utes the lead was increased to six
points and this lead the Speedways
were unsuccessful in cutting down.
Holman took a great many shots
from the field, his only basket was
made when. Barry cut on Brown
miller who. was guarding the c.. c. N.
Y. coach. Dehnert appeared the
fastest man on the Celtic team last
night, and Haggerty played his usual
good floor game. Barry and Hol-
man, the Celtic forwards, were held
to one basket apiece by the local
guards, Bradley. Bob Handerhan and
Brownmiller. Johnny Moeltner and
Ray Handerhan played an important
part in the floor work of the To-
