CATHOLIC TITLE
IS UNDECIDED
Salesianum and ST. Joe Will
Fight for Honors in
Remaining Games
LOCAL SCHOOL
PICKED TOWN

The teams In the Philadelphia
Catholic High School Basketball
League are now staging one of the
prettiest fights for the title ever seen
IN the said association. Upsets have
been numerous and as the season
is not yet completed there is still
the chance OF some more jolting OF
The dope.
Salesianum High School and st.
Joseph's Prep are the league lead
ers and are now heading into the
stretch in the last squirt for the
little. Although the Wilmington
school is favored because II now
tops the standing. It is impossible at
this time to pick the local school as
the sure winner OF the title. St.
Joe Is still very much in the race.
West Catholic. by defeating each
Of these schools and then giving
them the game by forfeit. has made
it easy running and now each has
one loss TO its credit. As il happens,
this defeat was a vice versa affair,
with each taking a bite into the
others hide. In other words. each
has beaten the other, so that in that
joint they stand on even terms.
Salesianum has one more win. but
3D. they have played one more game,
and therefore stand almost on even
terms. The Wilmington school, with
eight wins and one defeat. needs but
one game to completa the league
year. On the other hand St. Joe
has two more games to play and
must win both OF them.
As to the chances OF the schools,
Salesianum's case must be gone
over first. The leaders have their
final game with Villanova Prep att
Villanova. and this be enough said.
The Main Line team Is not amCs,
the first two contenders, but as dop
spoilers the hill boys are withou
equals. Villanova at Villanova is as
hard a proposition as can come
along, and II Salesianum drops them
by the waysIde they are sure of at
least a tie for the title.
Then again, II St. Joe should win
tho rest OF its games and finish with
nine wins and one defeat the stand
ing would find the leaders in a tie |
for first place. This would mean |
some post-season games, and here
the football season would be repeat |
ed. The result might be all right, |
but the schedule should find enough |
competition TO finish the season |
without any need for extra battles. !
It Is a fine race and the teams in !
the front rank have first-class fives |
on the floor. It was a loQg. hard !
grind, with plenty Of upsets and the /
like. but the end is in sight and yet |
