These championship battles headline
a big schoolboy court card for the week.
In all 81 games are scheduled, includ-
ing several aside from the public high
engagements that promise to prove
Slashing struggles.
THAT Central-Tech affair, though,
i should be WOW. Surrounded
with the glamour that ever marks
al 1nkfn L.
foes, it promises to be even more des-
perately contested than the usual
struggles between the Blue and Gray
A defeat for Tech, its second In %
many starts, would prove q mighty
blow to its aspirations to third straight
championship, and the Mckinley gang
can be depended upon to put UP q
rousing battle. Central, always eager
for q victory over Tech, is especially
keen to lower the Gray Tuesday in
order to get off on the right foot In
the struggle for the crown.
Many give the Blue q real chance TO
down Mckinley, too. The Coggins-
coached team has not done half bad In
its pre-series games.
Incidentally, Central has battled the
Gray to q standstill the past two sea-
sons, despite that the latter has swept
to the title each year. Playing In the
AA4oPAACA OOJAC b4A6b 0OucAAJ Illt4E - bkIJ
work of Central teams against Tech
combinations, the Blue won two Of the
four games played last season and the
year before. Mckinley has found the
Columbia Heights gamesters plenty
tough.
Western will be hot after Q win over
Eastern. During the past couple Of
seasons the Lincoln Parkers have CAD
tured three Of their four battles against
the Georgetown scholaSticS. They split
even last Winter, but the year before
that the Light Blue won both games.
Central and Business and Tech and
Western also are figured 10 put On 1ine

Particularly interesting among the
