The tilt Tuesday will be the third
meeting between Hyde Park and
vTiIdpn this season, and there Is every
indication that it viii be about an
even affair. Early in the season
Coach Butch. Scanlan's Hyde PARK
rrs won a close decision from the
ridden outfit, but the later retalated
several weeks ago by administering
a. decisive trimming to the Stoney
Island avenue quint.
Many close followers of prep bas-
ketball here are inclined to the be-
lief that the Tilden lads viii have
slight edge on the Hyde Park outIlt.
Coach Bergman, Of Tilden, has
one of the best players seen on the
city circuit i'm recent years in9Eas.@
koysky. an effulgent performer :
who has shown q deadly accuracy
I'm shooting baskets during the en-.
tire season. VaskOvsky is big and
rangy and a player who is seldom
forced to leave the game with
injuries.
Another star performer on the
Tilden team is Captain Wee" Barry,
a fast, aggressive lad who has been
playing in consistent fashion all
season. Perlman, of the newcomers
on the team this year, has scintil-
lated at guard, and has also been a
potent factor in the scoring.
