game scheduled for S:15 o'clock at the
Boys Club. It's Saks VS.. Boys Club
for the championship of the District
Of Columbia League.
To attempt to choose between these
clubs is like trying to find the needle
in the proverbial haystack. No other
145-pound team has been able to dupli-
cate the feats of either the Saks OF
Boys Club quintets.
But brilliant as their records are
neither team will go in tonight's all
important scrap with victory meaning
another notch in drawn-out winning
Streaks. Indicated until last week
SakS dropped decision to Eastern

first to the MontroSe A. c., composed
mainly of Western High baSketers, anc
the second to Tech High.

During the season of 1928. the Florida
tossers trekked into the Congress

winning streak compiled by the cocky

There's not a chance to break an
other streak, and the Eagles, defeated
last Sunday, hope to start one at the
expense of their Miami foes.
