arrangement of schedule.
Billy Woodward. former Cen

luminary, is coach this year at
Dewitt. and today has collection
of candidates under his wing that
look promising to say the least.
To make as strong showing
as is humanely possible, is Wood

If his Dewitt team can just come
near offering commendable oppo-
sition, he will be satisfied. In
other words. a tough situation
prevails at Dewitt in the bringing
back of the success which the
school once enjoyed.
Woodward has one man lett
from last years very poor team.
He is Bill ChildreSs, center, a tall.
rangy lad who knows what it is all
about.
Many from Out Town
Then there is a certain collec
ton of men at the school now who
have come with enviable records
as basketball players from out-of-
town high schools. These include

els Prep, of Brooklyn, N. Y, in
1930-31; Walter Berend, Bryant
High School of New York, guard;

Three games were played by
the scholastics yesterday. East

thrilling extra period tussle, Al
to "a; Central swamped the st.
Johns Frosh at Annapolis, 1923,
while Bethesda Chevy Chase High
handed Emerson Prep a 41-to-22
setback.
The Eastern-St. Johns clash,
which was played at Eastern,
incidentally, was a thriller of the
first order, Eastern coming from
behind to tie things at the end
of the regulation period and going
out and winning in the extra
quarter
With Keyser and Swift scoring
consistently, it was easy for Cen
tral to defeat the st. Johns
Frosh. Keyser accounted for l3
points. while Swift's total was 10.
It was just case of not
being in condition for Emerson
against Bethesda Chevy Chase.
The Preppers were no match tor
the suburbanites, failing at any
time to be in the game at all.
Rabbit was Coach Sanborl's
best player, as against Western
earlier in the week. The lad
counted six baskets for IL points
yesterday. Bradley, with IL
points, and Guckeyson, with IL,
were the winning teams stars.
