Centrars prospects are quite
bright, despite that Bill Foley,
veteran coach, will lose several
StalwartS.
Tech has lost the sensational
Jake Edwards, a track team in
himself, along with several others,
and Coach Hap Hardell, resource
full as he is, has big job to turn
out a creditable combination.
Dewitt has several performers Of
proved worth at hand, but a group OF
its leading lights on the cinderpath
last season have since received their d.
plomas. A successor to Walter Palmer,
who resigned some time ago as track
coach at Dewitt, is expected to be an
nounced within short time.

Tech High, the last of the public high
group to formally open its schedule, Will
get started, playing host to the Hyatts-
vile High FIVE The Maryland young
sters appear to be far stronger tnan
most uuintS in nearby counties, but

ing on today's card of three contests.
In the only other engagement listed
Business and woodward were to face
on the Central Y. NJ. C. A. floor. West
ern and Rockville High have called their
proposed game.
Yes, sir, this Business quint is good.
Make no mistake about that.
Coach Lynn Woodworth's smart little
combination gave the stalwart George
Washington University Freshmen one
whale of a fight before succumbing to
the college youngsters in bang-up
27-24 game yesterday in the Colonial
gym.
It was fine battle right up to the
closing moments when the Freshmen
came through with the points needed
to win.
It was a fighting Business quint that
finally went down before the home team.
Entering the second half, trailing by
1873 the Stenogs rallied until they
finally tied the score at 20-all. Then
they battled the Colonial Cubs on
nearly even terms until Forrest Burgess,
former Central and American Univer-
sity player, came through with a pair
of vital two-pointers for the Freshmen.
1t was Burgess baSket-sniping for
the G.. W. youngsters and Bob Lucas
shooting for the Stenogs that was
largely responsible for keeping their
teams in the running.
Business strong showing against the
Colonial yearlingS was in marked con-
trast to the 56-18 loss suffered by Cen
trail at the hands of the George Wash
1ngton youngsters.
OF course, this does not make the
Stenog contingent feel at all bad.
