Coach Bruce Kessler of Tech dis
played some heretofore almost un-
suspected reserve strength, a fac
tor which should make Tech a Sc
rlouS contender in the semi finals
next Teusday when he used II
players last night to overcome the
Mounts. Holding out some of his
regulars part of the time, Kessler
sent in several boys whose talents
had been displayed infrequently.
They did as we'll as the regulars,
taking an early edge over the
Mounts and slightly adding to it
period by period.
Bud Edwards and Bob Kelley par
ticularly were outstanding as they
contributed to Techs edge of 1871
at the half. No panic ensued among
the Prince Georges players at the
handicap, however, and they came
back with big third period, led by
Frank Landolt and Joe Baumann,
to gather seven points while Tech
was adding eight through the COM
bined efforts of Johnny Catloth,
Kelley, Vic De Leon and Eli Blank.
Again in the final quarter Tech
led in the scoring, Blank, Jack
Walsh and Moe Tannenbaum
gathering nine points. The Mounts
put up game battle against the
more experienced Tech players,
Chuck O'Connor and Landolt COM
bining to count eight points.

tain two major varsity teams during

Added to Miss Paget's fantastic

despite his doubtful parentage. is
given a l2-1 chance of duplicating
the victory of Miss Paget's Golden
Miller, which won the National In
1884.
Kilstar was trained in Ireland by
Swiss dealer and bought by a
British cavalry officer, Maj. Mark
Roddick, who rode him to victory in
last years grand military race.
Shortly thereafter, Roddick put the
horse up for sale, and nobody looked
at him until Miss Paget's trainer
bought him "on chance"

Kilstar Immediately showed signs
Of developing and surprised all the
critics by running perfect race
to win against good field at Ling

Since then he has been heavily
backed, because the experts think
it will be difficult for the first IA
vorite, Royal Daniel, to give him
"a pounds over Aintrees killing

Miss Paget's hopes for Kilstar have
consoled her for the collapse of
Golden Miller, thought by many to
be the best jumper of the century
The Miller has been unwell for days
and had to be withdrawn from
Thursdays Cheltenham Gold Cup
race, which he won five times. There
has been some speculation as to
whether he ever will be able to run
again.

All that is known of Kilstar's pedi-

neither Of these horses does he in
herit a winning tradition.
Miss Paget, daughter of Mrs. Al
meric Paget, American wife of Lord
Queensborough, first came into rae
ing circles in 1882 after a disastrous
and expensive attempt to back auto
mobile races. Miss Paget also is a
cousin of the American sportsmen,
John Hay and c. V. Whitney.
In 1880, Miss Paget had bought
Solanum, favorite to win the 1881
Grand National, but he fell and soon
after she purchased Golden Miller,

Cup in 1882, repeated the next year
and then took the National in 1884.

The metropolitan interscholastic
basket ball championship battle to-
day lies among the two leading Dis
trict public school and the two lead
ing parochial school teams in this
area, all survivors of first-round
games in The Stars seventh annual
tournament.
Tech, runner-up to Eastern for the
public school crown, and Gonzaga,
which forced st. Johns to playoff
for the Catholic school title, joined
those schools in next Tuesdays
semi-f1nal round at Tech gym by
winning their opening games from
fighting suburban teams last night.
Techs mighty midgets conquered

Georges County. 1922, and Gonzaga
had nip-and-tuck battle until the
closing minutes in overcoming
Montgomery Blair of Silver Spring,

In the semi-hnals at Tech next
Tuesday, starting at 1880 pm, East
ern will face Gonzaga and Tech will
oppose st. Johns. AS on the first
two nights, participating schools will
share in the tourney profits, and a
big turnout is expected both on that
score and because of the high caliber

Blair Away Winging.
Last night it was touch and 70
for three periods in the battle of
zone defenses between Gonzaga and
Blair. Jack Ballard
and Phil Mason contributed to an
early Blair lead of So, the lone
Purple basket having been a beau
,lful pot shot by Fred Rice. Rice was
a potent Purple scorer in the Sec
ond period, pacing Gonzaga into
an 81 edge at the half.
Air-tight defenseS on both sides
held down scoring chances during
the hot third quarter. Rice was the
only one to count and increased |
ionzaga's edge to 1O-7 going into
the final stanza. The game opened
up in the closing eight minutes,
however, as Lane ODonnell and
jim Counselman joined in the
shooting. Mason, Ballard and Don
ralbbutt of Montgomery Blair also
found the basket, but their valiant
efforts were not quite enough to
catch the Puppies sharpshooters.
The Blairs were in striking distance
all the way.
