WIN OVER CENTRAL
WOULD TELL TALE
Merry Mix-up in Sight if
Capitol HiIIites Lose
and Tech Scores.
BY E. A. FULLER. JR.

40CoSAdy GLlEAC - q
- very good chance that the
1881 public high school
basket ball champion will
be known. Business and Tech and
Central and Eastern will meet
that day in the Tech gymnasium
in the final series games. Eastern
with five wins under its belt against
two defeats can by defeating Gen.
trail clinch its first title since 1925
when it shared the crown with
| Central.
However, should the Coggins- coached
| team down Eastern ana Tech Beat
Business several interesting possibilities
would be offered. In the first place,
Tech would gain a tie for first place
with Eastern at five victories and three
losses apiece, but it is not certain It
would get the position, for, should Cen
trail be awarded forfeit over Tech as
the result of the game between the two
January 80, when Mckinley used Ever
| EFT johnson, player alleged at that
time to have been ineligible, Central
would gain the tie with Eastern and
Tech would be out of the picture. In
any event, whether 1t wins or loses to
Central, the Eastern quint will at least
tie for the title.
Business and Tech will take the floor
IN the first game, starting at $3.50
O'Clock.
Should the series end in q tie It win
hot be the first time the schedule has
been completed with a 'first-place dead
lock. An impasse has twice occurred
since the first series was played In 1917,
| and on both occasions Eastern figured
in it. The Light Blue finished in O
| dead heat with Western in 1923, East
ern winning the title in a play-off, 26
to IS, after an extra period In 1926,
Eastern tied with Central This time
there was no play-off and the series
was officially ruled tie. Eastern was
ready to play-of, but Central, because
of dates previously arranged, was un-
| able to do so.
