position.
Several games Of more than usual
interest are slated for floors in the city
proper. aside from the public high en-
counters. Among these are the st.
John's-Central, Business Emerson and
Gonzaga- Georgetown Freshmen engage
ments tomorrow, Georgetown Prep-St.
Johns and Episcopal Eastern contests
Wednesday, the Central and Catholic
University Freshmen battle Thursday
and Ben Franklin -Gonzaga and Dewitt
Georgetown Prep trays Friday.
All kinds of interesting possibilities
loom in connection with public high
title games Tuesday.
Tech, defending champion, is now
out in front, clinging desperately to
narrow half-game edge over the sec
ond-place Eastern team, but whether
the Gray will be able to stick at the
top is decidedly something else again.
Should Central, which walloped the
Mckinley boys, As to rs, in their first
round game, again lower the Gray

be created among Tech, Eastern, which

can also gain deadlock with the three
teams just mentioned by taking Bust
,
double header. 1t will be the StenogS
last series tilt.
On the other hand, should Tech turn
the tables on Central the Gray will as
sure itself of at least a tie for the title.
1t is possible that both Central and
Tech will start line-upS Tuesday some
what different than those which they
have been using in recent games.
George Brandt may begin at center for
Central, with Downey Rice, who has
been holding down the pivot post, re-
placing De Lisio at forward. De Lisio's
work has not been particularly impress

Everett Johnson, member of last
Winters Tech team, who has just be-
come eligible enthusiastically, may break
into the Gray lineup.
Tech has been much more impress
Sive than Business in series games since
the teams first met. The Gray has
won all three of its intervening games,
while the Blue has lost all three Of
its engagements.
Western must win over Business Tues

to receive body blow The Red team
was given a terrific tuSsle before over
coming the Stsnogs in their first meet
ing in the final moments, 90 to %.
Since that game Western has lost two
OF its three contests, as has Business.
The Stencgs cannot help themselves
by beating Western tomorrow so far
as the title is concerned as they are
definitely out of the picture, but they
can throw a big monkey wrench into
the Red teams hopes.

series game against Tech Friday, led

place of BuScher Pete LOTUS will take
the place Of Matte Newman at forward
for Business, with Fred Finley f1lling
in for Lotus at guard. Newman has
been lost to Business through gradu-
alton.
1t is more or less idle to speculate
on the effect of the outcome of Fri
days games on the series standing until
after Tuesday.
There is a chance that Ben Nc
Cullough, a member of last Winters
Eastern team, who has just become
eligible enthusiastically, may break into the
Light Blue and Whites lineup against
Tech Friday. 1t may be that he will
be placed at a guard, with Joe Robey
going to center.
