and Western Struggle to
Stay in Title Race.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER, 1R.

A COUPLE more smashing
~ public high school cham
"A pionship basket ball games
are expected tomorrow
when Central and Business and
Tech and western come to grips
on the Tech court. Central and
Business will take the floor to
open the program at $3.50 o'clock.
Each of the four teams has lost
one game and will be battling for
all it's worth for victory, as two
defeats in the series ordinarily is
about enough to eliminate a team
from the pennant picture.
If last seasons games between Central
and Business mean anything the Blue
and the Orange viii put on WOW Of
q scrap. Central conquered Business,
"a to %, in their first clash in the 1880
series, but the Stenogs came back to
vanquish the Coggins-coached team, 20
to 81, in their second encounter.
Downey Rice, Bill Burke and Henry
Broadbent are the sharpshooters upon
whom Central's hopes win be pinned
tomorrow Bobbie Lucas and Leon Es-
enstad are expected to be In the fore
front of Business attack.
Buck Beach, Bernie Reichhardt and
Everett Russell are likely to head Techs
offense. Beach went wild In the Gen.
trail game Tuesday to score ID points,
while Reichardt has shown q keen eye
for the old hoop In both of Techs series
games, particularly in the Eastern
match. Russell, who was expected to
furnish most of the fireworks on at
tack for the Gray this season, has been
held to a mere three points in both
games, but he is figured likely TO get
hot any time, and tomorrow may be
the day. It's going to take some mighty
fine guarding to prevent Anthony La
tona and Everett Buscher, Westerns
main threats, from zipping bunch OF
'eIn through the cords.
Eastern, which is showing the way In
the race with two wins in as many
starts, will resume series play Tuesday
when it meets Business.
U IPON request Of Western, which
~ complained that it had been
booked for too many late games, as
compared with the other teams the
series schedule has been revised in that
the former order Of games on fve after
moons has been, reversed. Western let
it be known that it did not relish APP
pearing in so many Of the second games
of the double bills, as It's players and
supporters were unable to get home un-
til late. ~
