The Eastern High School quin-
tet is an ambitious one. An in
teresting story brings this out.
Long before the basketball sea,
son was ever thought Of, this WIN
ter, players were in the gymna-
sium every day shooting baskets,
listing to Coach Guyon's words
of advice, and getting into con-
dition all the while, for the cam
paign to come.
Out in Front
Today the Lincoln Parkers are
out in front in the. scholastic
court series now being run off
every Tuesday and Friday at the
Tech gymnasium. They voice
their early success on all the ac-
tion they have gone through the
past months and the excellent
conditioning work derived there
from.
They wanted basketball ana
they got it," is the way Coach
GuyOn put it. 81 don't think
the action has hurt them any.
In fact, / think it has helped,
because they are certainly in
excellent condition"
To win a championship, East
ern players have felt that plenty
of practice and games were going
to do it for them this year.
Coach Guyon has agreed with
them also on this point. Thus,
there has been plenty of work
since the start of the school
term.
The Lincoln Parkers are very
hopeful of keeping up the fast
pace they have started in the
current school series games. In
order that there won't be any
let-down, games, games and more
games are on list for the re-
mainder of the season.
Five trays are on tap for them
this week including their two ap-
pearances in the series. Today
they entertain the St. Johns toS-
sers at the Eastern gymnasium
at $3.50 o'clock.
Tomorrow they meet Business
in one of the games on the Sc
rieS double-header. Wednesday
they play Westinghouse High
School at Ballston, Va. Friday
they engage Central in the series
while Saturday, Alexandria High
is listed at Alexandria, Va.
Quite a busy week for one club,
isn't it? But not for Eastern
in view of reasons stated above.
