Balance and COURAGE
Mark Riders Play
As Co-Leaders
Tech Is Tough Piekings;
RumbIers Hard Put to
Turn Back Vikings
By GEORGE HUBER.

A well-balanced team of Rough
Riders, including several clutch"
players, is keeping Roosevelt up
front in the high school basket
ball race. True, Eastern is tied
with Roosevelt for first place fol-
lowing yesterdays games-Roose-
welt downed Tech, 1888, while East
ern nosed out Central, 1918 but
the Riders all-around ability is
making them favorites in their
clash with Eastern on Friday.
Hymie Perlo, usually the Roosevelt
ace, has been hampered by a cold
and an ankle injury received in
football, but Frank Ciango has
come along with goal after goal to
give the Riders a fast-scoring pace.
Frank was high man for Roosevelt
yesterday with 13 points, but the
real hero was heretofore unnoticed
sophomore, 14-year-old Charles
Howard, who left Paul Junior High
only last June. Howard supplied
the winning punch yesterday as a
very good Tech team threatened
to push Roosevelt to defeat.
Riders Lead at Recess.
The Riders worked their way to a
1913 edge at the half, largely through
capitalizing on fast break that
several times caught the Maroons
f1at-footed. In the third period,
Techs captain, Jackie Walsh, hit q
hot streak that first tied up the
game and then sent the Maroons
ahead. Almost alone, however,
Howard ended this surge. Twice
when Tech pulled in front Howard
sank field goals to tie the score,
and at the end Of the period, with
the count again knotted at 23-all,
he dropped in the 1-pointer that
sent the Riders into the lead they
never surrendered.
Despite its defeat. Tech still is a
real factor in the race. If it can
continue to play the brand of basket
ball it displayed yesterday it is as
sured a place in the playoffs.

these two sets into different teams.
This, of course, would slow up the

Nearly every experienced foot

important changes-handing the
ball forward and permitting a
fourth-dow pass across the goal
line without penalty.
But they can't see this matter
of rushing in men and taking them
out, then rushing them in again.
II think we have a better rule
IN the pro league" Owen continued.
players usually begin to get tired
through the fourth quarter. So we
have a rule that any team can take
out two men in the last quarter
and then return them later, after
they have been rested up.
This new college rule also will
put greater burden on the coach.
He will be entirely responsible for
the strategy on the field OF course,
every one knows there will be a
certain amount of sideline instruc-
ton used under any conditions. But
now where a coach, using his sub
stitutes freely, practically can call
or direct every important or critical
play, all the smartness or the dumb
ness will be credited his way.
