CENIOR BLUES at Central High
School, winners of the inter-
class basket ball title, missed be-
~ ing the undefeated champions Of
the school by / point. Senior
Reds or Breckys defeated them, is
to Is, in the final game of the series
yesterday afternoon.
Breckys already had lost one game
and forfeited one, so the victory did
not affect the standing of the teams.
Much credit for the Brecky victory
yesterday was due Dorothy Friedman,
forward, whose timely goals in the
fourth period pulled her team out of
the whole when 1t seemed that Blue
victory was assured.
Breckys had held the lead in the
first half and through part of the
third quarter. Blue tossers rallied at
this point and pushed ahead until they
held the lead at Is to II early in the
last period. Miss Friedman was sent
into the game at this point and con-
trived to elude the opposing guards
for the winning baskets.
Both teams exhibited we'll organized
team play. Nancy Haas put up a good
game in the center field for the win
ners. Helen Louise Duckett, forward
in the Blue line, continued her ac-
curate work under the basket. Miss
Duckett is highpoint scorer in the
series, having amassed SO points. In
only one game did Miss Duckett play
the entire time, yet she out-scored all
of the forwards who participated.

Club sqauds, the leading Independent
teams In the District. will meet Thurs
day night at o'clock on the Arcadia
floor in the preliminary round of the
South Atlantic A. A. u. basket ball
championships. It was announced
some time ago.that all matches would
be played off In Baltimore. but when
1t was found that the two Washington
teams were the only entries from this
vicinity with the exception of the
Baltimore groups, 1t was decided to
change the plans and have the two
District teams play off for the right
to meet the winning Baltimore squad
in the title match.

series matches. Each has claimed
one victory. Thursdays encounter
