III it's quantity that makes
q team, then we'll scare 'em
to death when we take the
floor" says Chief GuyOn, coach
Of basketball at Eastern High
School.
Eyes sir, another of your
sO-called armies are out again
at Eastern" continues GuyOn.
"But it's not as big as it was
a few weeks ago as I've re-
Gently cut the squad down
from so to Is boys. Still, that's
enough of a team to scare 'em
when we take the floor"
To scare 'em into submission
seems to be the general idea
over at the Lincoln Park institu,
ton this year. That and an
additional object. aim or what.
have-you, of winning the inter.
high school series championship.
Probably it's the latter that is
the most import It. At any
rate, Guyon is more hopeful this
year than at any time before,
even though he will say little
about the subject.
TEere's this about the situa-
ton out Lincoln Park way. A
real . team certainly is the pros
pect with such first string men
as Phillips, Lieb, Kane, zola,
Wate"', Fineran, Hayes, Courtney
and Essex at hand.
NOOnan Missing
Then there's the army Of
o. ers. Outstanding among these
are Bayliss. Hale, Fitzpatrick.
Davis, Edelen, Metzler, and
StaSulli. Davis and Metzler are
football men.
Filling the center position is
Coach Guyon'S important prob
lem this year. That is, if it can
be called an important problem
wit Phillips, Lieb and others
available.
I'll Noonan, one of the most
awkward, yet one of the most
versatile centers to ever grace
q high school series, was Guyon'S S
jumper las year. He is not
avai,G' this season because of
havin- graduated.
One other player from last
years team is also missing from
the Eastern army because of
graduation reasons. He is Dal-
las Shirley. very capable guard
who was the shining light of the
teams back court play during
1930-31a
Only Waters, Zola, Kane, Hayes,
Courtney. Essex. Bayliss, Hales.
Fitzpatrick .and a few others are
available for Shirley's place. If
these fellows fail there's an I'M
posing collection left to try out.
Well Fixed
So it seems that Eastern is we'll
fixed for talent this year for bas
ketball. The big thing is winning
the championship. Guyon has had
many armies before that have
failed him. However, this year
with practically vetera team un
der, his tutelege, he holds dear
hopes of finally winning the title
his teams have come so near win
ming during the last for years.
A 34-game schedule faces the
Lincoln Parkers. A game is on
tap today with the st. Johns
Preppers at the Eastern gymna,
sium at 3:45 o'clock. The\sa
