Seen as Rivals in Generals
Tourney.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR.

DOSSIBILITY of repetition of
- the recent thrilling fight among
Central, Eastern and Tech for
the public high school basket
ball championship series that was won
by Central was seen today in the an
nouncement that Eastern has definitely
entered the Washington and Lee Uni
verSity tourney, at Lexington, March 2,
3 and 4, and Central and Tech will
compete If arrangements can be made.
1t is an invitation tourney, and East
ern, by virtue of having won the COM
petition at Lexington last Winter, has
been invited to defend its honors and
has accepted. Both Central and Tech
are hopeful of receiving invitations.
Central has obtained permission of its
principal, DR.. Harvey Smith, to COM
pete, and Coach Artie Boyd hoped to
obtain today the consent of Frank
Daniel, Tech head.
EASTERN won at Lexington a year
~ ago in dramatic style After cap
turing its opening games against
HarriSonburg and Lynchburg High
Schools with comparative ease, the In
dians put John Marshal High of Rich
mond out of the running, 1919. Con-
quering Spartanburg High, victor over
Atlanta Tech, in stirring 24-21 bat
tie, Eastern achieved the crown by over
coming Staunton Military Academy,
prep school division title holder, 1892.
The first half Of this game was fought
out on a point-for- point basis, but in
the second half the Braves, with Barney
Kane bombarding the basket, stepped
out to gain a lead which it held.
Eastern was the first school to enter
this years tourney. In addition, already
a dozen other institutions have either
signified their intention Of entering or
are formally in line.
In the past years the tourney entry
has been limited to teams that won
more than half of their games of the
current campaign. This year. however,
the Tourney Committee decided to limit
the entries to 16, and after all the en-
tries are filed, the 16 teams having the
best records will be paired. Under the
old system, as many as 80 quints have
taken part Twenty-six entered last
Winters affair, 16 of them high schools.
THE public high school base ball
i championship series, which not
so long ago seemed in q fair way
to go by the boards because of lack OF
interest, will be played this year as
usual with all five of the schools COM
peting. There had been doubt as to
whether Tech and Roosevelt would
have mines, but Tech recently voted to
continue the SPORT and Roosevelt also
has decided again to put q team in the
field, 1t was announced today by Coach
Lynn Woodworth. The Rough Riders
figure to begin drills March 6.
