BEGIN
. IN EARNEST
. MONDAY
BY GARRETT WATERS


Basketball will be the chief
thought of the scholastics next
week, beginning Monday. Every
team in the high school group
will swing into the busiest OF
practices.
To get in the best of shape
for games soon on their seized,
ules, will be the aim of the vari
GUS teams. For the high school
combinations, it will be a case
Of tuning up for the annual
league schedule which every year
provides the most interesting sort
of basketball ever seen hereabouts
For the prep teams the next
two weeks or so will offer them
the chance of getting prepared
for impc -tant games on their
schedules, which in one or two
instances. calls for contests
against their high school rivals.
Busy Time Ahead
All in all a busy time of it
looms with interest in the near
season sure to mount as each
sun rises and sets. The prep
school teams which will swing
into the order of things include
Emerson, st. Johns, Georgetown
Prep, st. Adams, Gonzaga, Ian
don, and Dewitt.
The inter.high league series last
year ended in a three-cornered
deadlock for first place, embracing
the Tech, Eastern and Central
teams. Tech, the 1929 title win
ner, found the going a little
tougher than expected and there
fore could do no better than end
its campaign even with the above
mentioned combinations. Eastern
and Central.
Central Was Surprise
The latter team was. in down
right words, the surprise team Of
the series. Hardly figured be-
cause of a disastrous showing in
1929, the Mount Pleasanters
slowly but surely made their pres
ence felt, particularly so during
the second half of the schedule
which saw them down every oh"
stacle in their path to get into
the championship order of things.
Rice, Broadbent, Burke and
Cumberland were the big timers
for Coach Burt Coggins, sorrel-
topped youngster by the name of
Swift, also helping out.
Eastern was in the thick of the
fight chiefly because of the work
of Bill Noonan, lanky center. This
lad was a sensation throughout
the series and was easily the hest
center the high schools have seen
in five or six years. Tech found
the travelling rough because of a
small and somewhat ineXperl-
enced team. The Manual Train
ers possessed that fight, however,
which kept them continually in
the race.
Should Be Interesting
AL eyes will be on these teams
this year, even though several OF
the aforementioned players will
not be in uniform because of hay
ing graduated-Noonan, Rice and
Burke, to mention few.
In conclusion, another interest
ing series should be played. If for
no other reason, than every cam
paign in the past has been just
Misunderstanding from the open
ing whistle to the last.
Incidentally, if the play OF
Tech, Central and Eastern does
not provide enough of the thrills,
western and Business can be ex-
nected to furnish whatever is
needed because of their efforts
toward getting into the thick OF
things
