Bunk" he replied. Harold Grange
is a little over feet 10 inches tall
and weighs l69 pounds. He is not the
HeSton, or even the Coy, type. His
speed and lodging ability are his

see him put on any weight at all. He

Heston, Weekes of Columbia. Coy and
Brickley, all of whom could break
away from two or three tacklers

arms around them. When a defender
tackles Grange properly, getting both
arms around both legs, he is stopped

his long runs not a tackler lays a
hand on him"

halfback that ever played?" Zuppe

"I won't say that was hte reply,

Coach Shipley, though. appears to

Eastern planned to tackle the Stan

Eastern combination will oppose the
Langley Junior High School team at

I2adice received several minor in

and they are not quite ready for the
strenuous part of the court training.
High school officials have only a
few details to complete before they
obtain use of the new George
Washington gymnasium for the
basket ball series. The school heads
were considering the new Washing
ton Auditorium for the titular games,
but the court there has concrete floor.
Eastern and Central basket ball
teams offered a puzzle to the court
followers last year. Charley Guyon's
youngsters copped the local high
school title, but they failed to set
the pace established by the Columbia
Heights combination in the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania championship
high school tournament. Central in

the court laurels this season. Coach
CoKgins has his boys well in hand,
and expects the team to win over the
Catholic University freshmen on De-
