BEGINS TITLE RACE
Central Meets Western and
Eastern Tackles Manual
Trainers at Outset.


~ preparation for the opening
matches of the public high
school championship series to be staged
in the gym of the new Tech High
Building tomorrow. Decision to stage
the games at Tech was reached at a
meeting of principals of the high
schools held yesterday and the work Of
preparing the floor for the matches is
being hustled along today. Because
permanent baskets have not arrived
temporary baskets will be put up and
seats will be borrowed from Eastern
High School to care for the crowd.
Play is to start tomorrow at 3:15
o'clock, with Central meeting Western.
Immediately afterward Eastern and
Tech are to clash. Except for Central,
which is again being coached by Bert
Coggins, the teams will be tutored by
new mentors. Clifton r. Moore now is
coaching Western, Harley P. Sanborn is
directing Eastern and Artie Boyd is
the Tech coach.
Business will make its series debut
January 8 against Central. Lynn Wood
worth again will tutor the Stenogs.
New Teams Strong.
Central which is defending cham
pion, and again is represented by a
clever team though one not believed as
strong as last season, probably will take
the floor at the start against Western
with Broadbent and either Parkins or
Wilbur Cross at forwards, Romig, CEN
ter and DeLisio and Capt. Ken Fisher
at guards. Western will start combi-
nation which will be well balanced,
though its members have had only lin
tied experience. Upholding the Red and
White when the opening whistle blows
will be Capt. Woods, Baer or Jimmy
Thompson, forwards; Freeman, center,
and Hunt and Herbie Thompson,
guards.
Eastern, which is regarded as fore
most, if not the foremost, contender for
the public high title by many critics,
will pick its starting lineup from Ryan,
Fisher, Weber and Fisher, forwards;
Robey and Noonan, centers, and Capt.
Ted CapelI. Shapiro, Harold, Cole and
zahn, guards.
Tech will be handicapped through the
absence of Capt. Jake Goldblatt, ver-
satile and experienced player, when it
starts against Eastern. Goldblatt has
been sick, and, while he may get in
the game for while, he will not start.
Paul Brown, guard, will be the only
really seasoned player in the Tech COM
bination which begins the game. Others
listed to start for Tech are johnson and
Talburtt, forwards; MacCartee, center,
end Johns, guard.
Stanley Collins will coach the 1929
Tech High School base ball team, it
was announced today. Collins, grad |
hate Of Bowdoin College and who later
ATTENDED Springfield, Mass, College, has |
had q deal Of coaching experience and
the diamonders viii be in capable |
hands. He will succeed F. w. Glenn as |
tutor Of the Mckinley nine. Glenn re-
kigned at the end of the last school |
year and now Is practicing law In the |
West. Collins was appointed men, |
Der Of the Tech physical education de-
partment at the start Of the present
school year.
Coach Elmer r. Hardeu has called
candidates for Techs track team and |
by Friday virtually all aspirants are ex-
pected to be on the job. For the first |
couple of weeks Hardell will confine |
work to conditioning exercises. Several |
leading members of the Tech squad, in |
rluding Edwards and Benner, are not in |
the best shape as the result of illness. |
Hhe Techites will do their training in |
The wooden corridor Just on the school
gym. Some time in the not too distant
future it is hoped to build an outdoor
running track at Tech.
Besides Edwards and Benner others
Hardell is counting upon heavily are
Holmes Fountain, sprinter; Frank
Nebel, quarter miller, and Arthur Reich
mann, field events Staiwart.
Star performers have been lost from
the Tech championship team of a
season ago, including Bob Bailey, quar-
ter-miler and low hurdler; Harry Null
len, Sprinter; Edgar Shaw, half-miler,
and Basil Postlewaithe, broad jumper
and miller. Howard Florence, Sprinter,
is to be graduated next month and
Allen Pope, hurdler, may not return.
1t is manifest that Hardell will have
to hustle to turn out another team as
strong as that of last season, but the
Tech mentor has time and again de-
Eeloped capable track combinations
from scanty material, and it is safe
let that the Mckinley team again the
coming season will be a sturdy one.
Tech probably will send representatives
TO the University of Richmond, the
University of Virginia and the Meadow
brook A. c. games during the Winter
campaign.
Central High basketers put up fine
scrap before bowling to High Point,
N. c., College Freshman tossers in a
1923 match yesterday in the Columbia
Heights School gym. The visitors held
the whip hand most of the way. Gen.
trail, led by Wilbur Cross, who scored
l3 points during the game, staged a
determined rally early in the second
half and succeeded in gaining the lead
at 22-21 The visitors, however,
promptly came back to gain again the
edge and were not headed thereafter.
Besides Cross, Central's captain, Ken
Fisher, was as usual consistent scorer.
johnson and Mulligan did most of High
Points scoring.
