~ FORGE WASHINGTON and
Maryland play basket ball
~ on their home courts
again tonight, the former
with Lynchburg College and the
latter with Virginia Polytechnic
Institute. The game at George
Washington begins at pm. and
the one at Maryland at 8:l5.
It does not seem that George Wash
ington is in much danger of set
back. as LynChburg College hardly Is
likely TO have much of a chance against
the veteran five that wears the Bun
and Blue Unless something closely
akin to an athletic miracle takes place,
the COlonialS should walk oil with the
long end of the score by even more
than a comfortable margin.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute was not
able to whip Virginia last night at
Charlottesville. although 1t EXTENDED
the Cavaliers, and inaSmuch as Mary
land did win from the Orange and Blue
at Charlottesville, it may be assumed
that V. P. 1. hardly has an even chance
against the Old Liners. However, that
is the kind OF game that always proves
most dangerous for Maryland.
IT would be a great jolt to lot of
L young men who are beginning to
think they are some pumpkins as
basket ball players if Lynchburg College
and Virginia Polytechnic Institute were
to come here and take a fall out Of the
local schools Stranger things have
happened in this day of college ath-
letics, when almost anything may take
place Lynchburg College, of course,
is not big school, has only two or
three hundred students, and in size
does not compare with George Wash
ington Virginia Polytechnic Institute,
though, has more eligible students to
draw from than Maryland. The latter
has about $500, but nearly half OF
them are located in Baltimore and
about 400 are girls. V. P. l. has about
! 300 men at BlaCkSburg. incidentally,
V. P. I. ought to be just about ready

NARROWED
TO TECH, EASTERN
Former CIings to Lead With
Win Over CentraI-Latter
Defeats Business.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR.

TECH and Eastern, it seemed
today, will battle it out
i for the public high school
basket ball championship.
Mckinley today is still clinging
to a scant half-game edge over
Eastern in the breathless struggle.
Tech, victorius yesterday over Cen
tral, 80 to 81, now has won five games
and lost one, and Eastern, a 1929
winner over Business, has four victories
against one defeat. Central with three
WINS and as many SetbackS has
chance to tie the two leaders for the
title, but forlorn chance only. BuSi-
ness with two triumphs against four
reverses has joined Western among the
also rams.
There is strong probability that,
f1ttlngly enough, the dramatic series
will not be decided until the very last
game, February 9, when Eastern and
Tech come to grips for the second time.
YESTERDAYS games added more
fireworks to a bunch of games
which have run the gamut of
flaming competition.
In both games the biggest kick came
in the dying moments.
Central entering the final quarter
trailing, % to 36, lashed out in
frenzied rally that was summarily
halted by the final gun just when it
appeared that the Blue was sure to tie
the score. Burke, Keyser, Smith and
Sidell found the cords for Central dur
ing this drive.
For Tech the game was fought out
along strange lines. Usually the Gray
starts slowly and finishes in a rush
the ever-dependable. Everett Russell
and Knocky Thomas, playing his best
game of the series, pointing the way,
gained fat lead in the early going,
but begged down in the final going.
business in faltering in the late
- going simply gave characteristic
performance Time and again the
luckless Stenogs have been on the
threshold of the heights not only in
this series, but in championships in
other sports for the last several years.
They just don't seem to have that final
victory punch.
At any rate, after holding a slim lead
over Eastern until late in the game yes
terday, they found themselves power
less to continue to fight off Eastern and
they went down, fighting as usual
Barney Kane, whose spectacular snip
ing has been high spot Of the series,
came through with a couple of pot
shots that helped his team immensely
in those last few minutes He was just
about the ace Of the Lincoln Park team,
with Jack Bayliss giving him a close
rub for honors. Carroll Shore again
was Business big shot. An almost un-
failing foul shot, he failed on two in
vital spot in the waning moments,
but it would be nothing short of cruel
to hold that against a kid who battled
so gloriously. Sis Etenstad also showed
strongly for Business.

A GOOD many opinions have been
n expressed since last September 10
the effect that Don zimmerman
was about the most dangerous paGh
rTuIane had, but if the picture OF the
game between Tulane and southern
California, now being shown at local
theater. is any criterion then young
Mr.. Glover has it all over zimmerman
as a ground gamer. No better oroKen
field running could be wished for than
Glover shows in that picture against
the Trojans.
incidentally, a good deal also mas
been said and written about the great
reverse play on which Plnckert mace
all his ground for Southern California.
That play is nothing more nor less than
the play on which Navy cameo so
much in that famous 2l-to-2l game
with Army at Chicago some years ago
Just how or why the TroJans, goC
aWav against Tulane so consistently Is
difficult to understand, as almost lts
entire success depends on plVotlng
Ueakside tackle with a seVen-man line.
Tulane did not use a seven-man line,
but 1t did make the mistake OF letting
its weakside tackle play the kind OF de-
fensive game that made him an easy
mark for that particular play.
Another marked feature Of the game,
If the pictures tell the whole story was
the weak forward passing OF both

INCREASE NOTED
IN STATE BANKS
Comparative Abstract Also
Reveals Gain in Checking
Deposits
RESERVES ARE SMALLER

A comparative abstract Of re
ports of 43 savings banks, State
banks and trust companies in Del
aware on September 20 and June
80, as issued at Dover last week by
H. w. Horsey, State bank commits
sioner, show that resources of the
43 banks increased from $159, 1885,
19261 in June to $161, ,236, ,5O5.23 in
September. The abstract also re-
veals that there was decrease of
$1,316, 6,097.87 in lawful reserve with
reserve agents and a further de-
crease of 1927, ,117.24 in cash on
hand. This was assumed to indi-
cate that banks throughout the
State are carrying a smaller cash
reserve than formerly, due to the
fact that with a gradual improve
ment in economic conditions large
reserves are not necessary. For the
period ending September 80, there
was an increase in checking depos-
its of 81, O,864.77. Savings de-
posits decreased, however, $685.
761.78. A decrease in loans and
discounts of $2,406, ,37i.47 was also
noted as was a S967 ,s82.84 decrease
in bills payable. Additional in
creases noted in the abstract were
