CAMP A|GN MARKED
BY WARM BATTLES.
Central and Western Make
Debut Tomorrow in Penn
Event, Tech Monday.
= CHOOLBOY basket bali teal

q CHOOLBOY basket ball teams
are approaching the end of
a season that has in several
respects been noteworthy.
From the standpoint of the num-
Der of quints it has been theObig-
geSt campaign in the annals of
the game hereabout.
However, from the standpoint Of quail
ity, it has not been such a notable sea-
son. There were several QuintS packing
lots of power, but on the whole the
standard of teams was below that of
other years.
Fans, though. have not been particu-
larly concerned over this, in view of
the stirring competition Many combi-
nations have made up in notable meas
ure for lack of ability by splendid ex-
hibitions of fighting spirit. This spirit
and the strength of so many teams
have produced stunning upsets and
game after game trimming with the
kind of battling that keeps the pulses
racing
In the public high school series, which
was finally won by Tech after coura-
geouS uphill fight the hardwood was
alive with drama from the opening
game. Surprises galore marked the play
1t was generally conceded that the
standard of the teams was not as high
as in the 1928 series, but with the COM
petition so fierce no one cared. West
crn, Eastern, Central and Business also
showed strength, though none was con-
siStent.
st. Johns, perhaps, has more reason
to crow over its work on the court than
any other team in prep school ranks,
though Ben Franklin and Georgetown
Prep have shown class.
Central and Western basket ball teams
will make their debut in the Penn tour
nament tomorrow at Philadelphia, the
former against the strouGsburg,, Pa,
High quint at noon and the latter
against the Pleasantville. N. j., High
five at pm. Tech, the only other
scholastic combination hereahout en-
tered, will not start play until Monday
night at Z o'clock against Freehold, N.
j., High
In the only other athletic contest
carded for District scholastics tomorrow
Central will meet the Navy Plebes In a
rifle match at Annapolis and Bliss Elec-
tricai School basketers will entertain
Southeastern University in the Silver
Spring Armory at $3.50 o'clock.
Benjamin Franklin and st. Johns
basketerS will face tonight on the st.
Johns floor at $50 o'clock in a battle
that should be WOW. Both have inn
pressive records.
-Four afternoon games were slated to-
day. Central was to entertain Maury
High of Norfolk, Va; Bliss was to en-
gage st. Johns College Junior Varsity
at Annapolis: Tech and Catholic Uni
versity Freshmen were to clash and
Georgetown Prep and Friends light
weight quints were to battle it out.

Chapter 29 EXJTS FOR TONY

Jay stared at him coldly and dis dainfully as he entered the shop.
 "Is there anything we can do for you today, MT Titherington? May I interest you in q new selection Of gowns we just received from Paris2"
 Tony looked at her and smiled half shamefully.
 You are raking me over the coals, aren't you? May I see Mary Lou?"
 Jays dark almond shaped eyes brichtened.
 Mary Lou is up in the altera- tions room. Do you know your way"
 Tony thanked her and ran up the stairs,
 He was greeted by quiet Mary Lou, cool and self-possessed. To his embarrassment he found him self stammering over his apology like a schoolboy.
 Tell me" he broke off in the middle Of it, what was the matter with you last night, Mary Lou?"
 Nothing at all" she said quick ly. T didn't feel very well, so l thought it was best to go home"
 But you're better now"
 She nodded her neatly shingled head
 Yes. Tm much better today, thanks"
 I'm glad of that" said Tony.
 He paused, wondering what else he could say 10 give him an eX- cuse for staying. For some unex- plainable reason he wanted to talk with her.
 Look here, Mary Lou" he be- gan. but she interrupted.
 I'm afraid I haven't any time to talk with you now. Tony, And you really must go, for we're un- usually busy today. You have no business here in the shop during working hours, you know"
 This time Tony was prepared for her outspoken suggestion that he leave.
 Triumphantly he produced from his pocket the neatly printed card he had found outside the shop Smart Delivery Boy Wanted"
 I'm here on business" he point cd out seriously, holding the card before her.
 Aunt Ethelberta has cut me off, and I suspect that you know the reason for it. This time it's definite, and l have no hopes of getting another penny from her. Therefore I've got to have a job. What about this errand-boy prop osition?'
 He grinned. expecting Mary Lou to laugh at him. Instead she looked at him with serious, quizzical eyes.
 "Nery we'll" she said calmly. I'll take upon myself the responsi- btlity Of engaging you. Your salary

such mess? He supposed it was, but it was too late now for regrets.
 At any rate, he told himself he was fed to the teeth with girls Mary Lou and Gwendolyn Car ruthers in particular.
 He'd be hanged if he'd worry about either of them. Let Gwen dolyn go to the devil and Mary Lou to Brynmor, for all he cared.
 The next morning, however, saw very contrite Tony on his way to Jays gown shop. He had con- cluded that it probably would be best if he went back and explained just what had happened It was an unpleasant job, but it had to be done.
 The fates were against him, for it wasn't Mary Lou, but Jay who greeted him. He had come to hold tJay in considerable respect
 Well, MT. Titherington
 Briefly he explained what had happened, his face becoming red der and redder with each sentence. He insisted that Jay accept his check to square accounts for the ruined gown.
 Well, what did you do with it, finally?" she asked.
 I'm afraid I threw it into a dirt bin" he apologized.
 Jays comment in reply aston ished him.
 Tony Titherington, that the first virile thing you've done since you came back to England"
 He swallowed.
 "Where's Mary Lou?"
 She's gone home" Jay replied curtly.
 Where, to your fat?"
 No, to her home in Frinwood. And shes not coming back to town until after the wedding"
 "Oh-the wedding" Tony seemed unable to grasp the thought. 'Is it to be - soon?"
 Quite soon, I believe" Jay told him. They arranged it last night .. -
 Then a pent-up conviction burst forth from Jay as if she no longer could keep it to herself
 You're by far the biggest fool ever met in my life, Tony Tither- irgton. Each time I look at you I want to shake you. Get out of my sight this minute"
 She turned her back on him and walked into her office. shutting the door behind her. Tony stared blankly after her.
 T certainly do seem unpopular these days" he muttered ruefully That's the third door that has been shut in my face within the last 4 hours"
