Not since the Georgetown-N. Y. U.

time.
Both Tom O'Brien and Hal Kiesel.
G. WIS leading scorers, were sadly
of form, one field goal-by O'Brien-
being the lone contribution from the
floor by this pair during the entire
game. The bulk of Colonial scoring
was provided by Ben Goldfaden, who
played one of his best games of the
season, and Milton Schonfeld. Gold
faden scored four field goals and
three fouls for II points, while Schon-
field sank three from the floor.
Blaekbirds Don't Foul.

TITLE IN J YEARS

Tomorrow Night.
BY ROD THOMAS


fire on Western tomorrow
wv night at Tech in play-off
v for the District public
school title the Lincoln Park lads will
be cunning for their ninth major
basket ball championship in five
years.
Their series of successes may be an
all-time tops for Washington school,

Three years in a row the Light
Blue and White has triumphed in
the public school series and in each
Of those seasons carried on to victory
in the annual Evening Star metropol-
itan tournament.
In 1888 Eastern began its streak by
winning the Washington and Lee in
vitation event. In 1884 it climbed the
public high and metropolitan thrones,
there to remain until now. In 1885 1t
scored signal triumph in the Glens
schoolboy quints in the East.
Figured to Rebuild.
WHEN the current campaign
w started, Eastern was rated as
Just another team in the public
school scramble although the Defend
ing champion With the graduation Of
several brilliant performers last year,
this season figured to be given over
largely to rebuilding.
But now we find the Lincoln Park
ers, in an "off season." not only with
at least a $3.50 chance of winning
their fourth straight city champion
ship, but hoping for a couple more
major conquests. Next week they
are expected to compete in the WASH
ington and Lee tournament at Lex
ington, Va, and in the following week
will defend their title In The Star
event, the latter to open at Tech on
March IS.
The last three metropolitan parties
were breezes for Eastern, but the COM
ing one likely will be anything but.
It will be the first Star tournament in
which a Washington public school
champion hasn't gone to post sure
okay with Eastern, particularly its
student body, which heretofore has
taken little interest in the metropoli-
tan affair, so dominant was its team.
They're All Tough.
PUT no team will be a lopsided fa-
vorite In any game when the
eight top-rankers Of the metropolitan
area 60 to it the week Of March Is.
In only one flrst-round match will
there be a pronounced favorite. In
this, Eastern figures to beat one of the
representatives, of Montgomery Coun-
ty. Whether it will be Montgomery
Blair cr Sherwood will be determined
today. Bethesda Chevy Chase already
has been assigned to play for Mont
gomery, with unbeaten Mount Rainier
shooting for Prince Georges County,
Westinghouse and George Washing
ton for Virginia and Eastern, Western
and st. Johns for Washington proper.
This Winters competition between city
and suburban schools has shown a
marked increase in the comparative
strength of the suburban, several of
which have held their own or better
against the Capital teams.
And if Eastern comes through again
In the metropolitan 1t will add a tropy
Of which it may be truly proud, even

At the moment the colonel is
pleased by the letters he has received
during his salary squabbles with the
Yankee players. Almost all have ia

I've never beaten down a ball play

Rupert thinks ball players are a
race apart. He likes to watch them
come up from the Yankee farms. He
likes to talk to them. In conference
with them he is gruff and terse. Actu-
ally, he is q likeable and very pic
