Elves
Clash Tonight

Eastern High gymnasium will
be packed to capacity tonight at
$50 o'clock when Luckett's Phar-
many matches baskets with Reads
Pharmacy in Section A of the
Community Center Minor League.
These teams hail from the same
section of the city, Twelfth and
B Streets Northeast, and have been
rivals for gosh knows how many
years. The players of the teams
are very friendly off the court,
but as soon as they walk on the
floor they are arch enemies.
Teddy Cappelli, who used ring
baskets through the hoops with
regularity with Eastern High
several years back, displayed some
of his old-time form last night by
sinking 10 points to aid the Della
ware and Hudson toSSers to defeat
Bovello Plumbers, AZ to 81, in the
Community Center League.

Wesley Snow promises to be
the new sensation in the current
inter-high school basketball series
in the belief Of Rusty Thompson,
new Tech mentor.
The lad has all the earmarkS
of a capable center, Is tall and
lanky, has an accurate eye for
the basket and is quickly de-
veloping into a smooth floor
man.
Wesley was on the Tech team
last year, but was not used very
much by Artie Boyd, then the
coach. The lad had a chance
to see the mistakes his team
mates were making. and now is
on the verge of showing 'em how.
The youngster is quite base
ball player. He was easily the
best fielding first sacker in the
inter-high diamond series last
spring, but his inability to get
going at bat kept him off the
All-High team. He's determined
to make a better showing this
season and with any help from
Dame Fortune, should be one
of the top ranking performers
in the schoolboy group.

Victor in
Series
BY GARRETT WATERS

Defending champions. How
many times have basketball teams
at Eastern High School been
called that in recent years?
Well anyway, they've started
the last three campaigns that way
and promise to add another to the
long list after the current inter
high series is ended.
In short, friends, the boys from
Lincoln Park got off to the ex-
pected successful start in yeSter-
days opening Of the interhigh
race for 1885. Tech was defeated.
As to IS, and while chalking up all
these points, every man from the
sensational Dopey Dean to Sub
stitute wrence Lichlighter
looked very, very good.
The Tech gymnasium was the
scene. The first few minutes told
their story when Buddy. Shaner
opened the scoring with neat
pot shot" from side court.
From this moment, the ode
Tending champs" led to the end,
although at one moment in the
first half. Tech spurted to an
8-8 draw.
Second Half Best
The second half proved the
teams best. The incompatible
Dean began playing a little faster
game. This found his teammates
following suit. The result was
that such a comfortable lead was
collected that Tech couldn't have
won had a couple Of more quar-
tiers been available.
Chick Hollidge was the actual
scoring leader. His total Of
points was Is. Bucky Buchholz
and Buddy Shaner we're next to
Hollidge, while Bill Rea was tops"
for Tech. His total was eight.
Tech has a promising team
which will make trouble for OPP
ponents as the series progresses.
The lads are still a little uncer-
tain of themselves, but this polish
and experience will come in time.
The Trainers put up battle at
that during the first half. George
Hahn and Walton Merchant un-
corked some Sharp-shooting that
was effective to a point Of sensa-
tionalism by their shots from the
middle Of the floor.
Tie Score, SIS
This, coupled with some nice
play under the basket, enabled
them to tie the score once at 88
and stay within reach of q pos
sible victory until the intermis-
sion whistle.
Wesley Snow, center, was
missed. Wesley was forced to the
bench by virtue Of an injury Suf-
fered in scrimmage against the
Georgetown Frosh, Thursday. His
return will help the team, partic-
ularly when points will be needed
at close range.
Western and Roosevelt Put on
a thriller to make the opening
Characterization Of past thrills

umphed, 16 to IA, in one OF those
games that had the spectator sit
ting on the edge of his seat until
the final whistle. The Roosevelt

tory was interesting in that Roose-
welt was supposed to win by a
slight margin.

There are millions of chucks scat

Chucky keeps well out of sight, minds

His larger relatives have yellow ones.
A range of 100 yards satisfies him.

One home is built from the surface
