Play in the Washington Times
Community Center Basketball
League will be resumed tomorrow
night with a triple-header featur'
ing five teams which did not see
action in the opening night last
Tuesday.
With this trio of battles the
league enters into full swing that
bids fair to jam the competition
into a wide open fight.
The games, by the way, Will be
played at Roosevelt High Gym in
stead of Tech, because Of repairs
being made to the heating system
at Tech. The change is expected
to affect only tomorrow's games
which are scheduled for 7:30 p. m.
with st. Martins and Columbia
Beverage clashing; $50, with
Delaware and Hudson and Little
Tavern, the opponents, and $3.50
at which time Senate Beer and
Flying Eagles are to tangle.
Considerable light on the prob
able outcome of the race may be
thrown by the result Of these
three games as two dark horses, ="
st. Martins and Flying Eagles, get
their tests against strong teams.
YOUNG, FAST TEAM
st. Martins should offer Co.
lumbia Beverage all the competi-
ton it wants because it has a
young fast team of good shooters
although the names Of the play
ers may not be as familiar as some
Of the stars who have been play
ing for years, such baSketers as
Jim and Tom Roland and Andrew
Farrell, former Techites, and Leo
Cassidy, ex-Gonzagan, can't be
laughed off. Jim Roland, you
may remember, was all-high.
It's no secret, however, that Co
aumbia Beverage is strong. Any
team having such as Frank "Red"
Schaefer, Everett Cross, Of Cen
tral High, and Washington and
Lee University. Russell Lamson,
ex-Central captain; Walter BUS"
Diversion, of Tech, and Joseph F
''Peppy" Hunter 0ast years most
valuable player>, is bound to pack
power.
CARRIER OUT OF GAME
Delaware and Hudson will be
minus it's captain and star for
ward, Don CARRIER who is out with
a broken hand, but will be able
to present such stalwarts as Joe
Curtin, Sandlot star; "Knocky"
Thomas, of Tech and University
of Maryland fame, and Burdette
Cogar. of Hyattsville.
Little Tavern will shoot back
with a more than capable outfit
which features "Bus" Cross,
brother of CoIumbia's Everett
Cross, and another Central pro-
duct as is Smoky" Kemp.
Others known to bear watching
are Stew Benham, a Petworth
favorite and Hershey" Hersh-
berger, of Rockville.
FACE SENATE BEER
Flying Eagles will have their
work cut out for them because
all they have to face is Senate
Beer which defeated the strong
Lubeseal team to take the league
lead.
Although F.B.I. could have
claimed and was entitled to a
forfeit because of the failure OF
Railroad Retirement Boad to show
up for the opening game, Guy
Hotel, director of the Washing
ton field office, said his boys are
not anxious to accept forfeits and
are willing to play Regal Clothiers,
who replace the Railroad team, on
an even basis instead Of being
forced to assume the deficit
chalked up by the team it replaces.
BANK ON GROVE
Flying Eagles point with pride
to Earl Grove, who played with
Senate Beer last year.
