shin three times and this makes their

Opinions vary this year as to the
outcome. The age limit was taken or
this year and the veteran Tom Glsh
has returned to bolster the st. Marks
lineup. This makes Gish' sixth ap.
pearance in the Sunday School world
series and. in his position as forward
he ranks as about the best all through
the wears, The st. Marks teams is
more of a veteran team, most of their
men being over 21 years of age and
having had years Of experience in bas-
ket ball. The Christian team is com
posed Of younger players, the combined
ages of the seven men averaging a
little under 90 years.
To pair with Gish, st. Marks has
capable Hilmar Engelbert, coach of the
Breckenridge High School team for the
last three years. As most Of the
Central Christian players also play
with breckenridge. it will be a case of
students against teacher.
As third forward st. Marks has
Cuthbert Bullitt, another experienced
player. Tuttlebee at center is a good
player and shoots them in at the most
unexpected times. Timpson and Al
baugh at guards are hard to beat, and
Henry Gottwald is an alI-around man.

Captain Michel of the Central
Christian team at forward is one Of
the fastest men in local basket ball;
is a great shot and an excellent floor
man. "Pinky" Whitney. the famous
Breckenridge High School athlete,
holds the other forward, along with
Carlton Smith. Whitney follows the
ball every, second Of play, and is a
consistent goalcr. Smith has been dis
playing rare form recently.
The center position is shared by
Robert Bass and William Lutz. Both
are tall and fast and Bass when he
gets right don't know how TO miss
foul shots.
Central Christian has a formidable
guarding combination. one that will
not only hold the other side down but
will score itself. in Tom Carver and
William (Rcd) Irby.
