Bethesda Plays HyattsviIIe,
Central and Alexandria
Clash Wednesday.

r TYATTSVILLE VS.. Bethesda!
II 1t popped out of the hat
/ 4 like a thing alive today
when drawings were made
for the play-off Wednesday for
the public high school basket ball
championship of Greater Wash
mgton.
Hyattsville, champion of Prince
Georges County, will m t
Bethesda Chevy Chase, champion
of Montgomery, and metropoli-
tan area honors will be forgotten
temporarily as two feudal neigh
borS settlesa private matter.
Before this happens Central will meet
Alexandria Central is in the play-of,
sponsored by The Star, by virtue OF
having won the championship of Wash
ington proper and Alexandria by virtue
of triumph in competition among the
best high school teams of Northern Vir-
2inia, or, to be specific, Fairfax and
Arlington Counties and Alexandria.
CENTRAL and Alexandria will whirl
~ into action on the Tech court at 4
o'clock. There will be no inter-
mission to speak of between games and
the preliminarieS should be finished be-
fore $50.
At the winners Of the matinee con-
tests will battle for the metropolitan
championship, The Evening Star Trophy,
individual awards and the glory OF
alma mater.
Cep+ral will ba a favorite. over A1ex-
audria, an early-season contest having
been won decisively by the Washington
school The curtain-raiser, however, is
not being taken for granted by the
D. G. champs. To quote Bert Coggins,
Central coach, Were taking nothing
for granted in down-and-out scrap
like this. We've beaten Alexandria be-
fore, but it was quite while back, and
those tall boys Of Maurice Given may
have improved more than We"
CoGGINs frankly is impressed by
~ the recent showings Of Bethesda
Chevy Chase and Hyattsvillc.
Hyattsville showed lots of fight to
beat Mount Rainier for the Prince
Georges County title and Bethesda
Chevy Chase surprised many a school,
boy basket ball prophet by defeating
the George Washington freshmen in
sizzler.
Regardless Of prospects to win the big
title, all the youngsters look forward to
the tournament as good time. 1t will
be a sort of indoor picnic, at that. The
Star will be host to the players at sup
per, to be served cafeteria style in the
