Crowd in Melee;
Roosevelt and
Eastern Win
Two Players Elected
From Come Between
RombIers, Raiders
BY GEORGE HUBER.

Nobody was hurt and a good time
was had by all in young riot that
spiced proceedings last night, asI
Eastern won wild agme from
Western, 1922, in the feature of the
high school series basket ball
double header at Tech gym. The
game, close until the flstic foreworks,
was a walkaway for Eastern after
officials quieted spectators and
players who for few minutes
weaved in a free-Swinging mass all
over the floor. In steady and quiet
opening game Roosevelt won as ex-
pected over Coolidge, 34-l6.
The trouble came shortly after
the start of the fourth period at a
time when Eastern grimly was hold
ing onto 1922 lead, biggest mar
gin it had had. During a scramble
for the ball Eastern's Billy Deck and
Westerns Lewis Beatty collided, and
Deck ended in tangle of chairs
among the sideline spectators. In
a second many were up and swing
ing, spectators more than the
players, the latter being pulled from
the melee as soon as possible by
coaches and officials.
Beatty and Deck Elected.
After order was restored, Beatty
and Deck we're thumbed from the
game, and 1t continued with Eastern
scoring almost at will while Western
never again was able to hit the fast,
pace that kept it close and at sew
eral times had it ahead.
Western, 100 per cent improved
over its weak showing of last week,
made surprisingly tough battle OF
it for three periods. Dick Harlow
hooped three fast snowbirds for the
Red Raiders before Eastern was able
to fall into step, and the lead
changed hands twice In the first
period which ended with Western
ahead, 12-11. Fred Seaton, who took
individual honors for the Ramblers
with IA points, tailed three goals
during the opening quarter to keep
Eastern in the running.
Score Even at Halftime.
Eastern pulled even at 1918 by
halftime, and on three foul shots
went ahead, 2l-20, to enter the final
frame. 1t never gave up that edge
as Ray Love with one goal, was the
only Raider to tally in the last
period, After the melee, which
started two minutes after the last
quarter began, Tom Wingo, Seaton
and Sam Dellinger combined for five
quick baskets to give the Ramblers
their victory.

elapsed before G. WIS Jim Myers
dropped lay-up to make the score
6-2.
Wiltshire, Patton and Les Blan-
ken continued their successful tosses
and the Cavaliers we're ahead, 1916,
at the end of 10 minutes. George
Washington was missing them from
every angle and couldn't hold on to
the ball.
Colonials Bound Back.
After a rest period the Colonials
struck back hard and through the
efforts of Jim Rausch, John Koni-
zewski and Myers the score was
knotted. 17-17, with four minutes
left in the first half. Blanken and
Bud Burnett came back with two
side shots and again the Cavaliers
led. c. WIS Ed Gustafson and
Virginia's Wiltshire matched goals
twice within two minutes, making
the half end, q to %, in favor of

Expects Much From Cody,
Mild hammered Heavy.

A 2-by-4 athlete who expanded
into a 5-by-5 coach, Eddie had less
material this year than your oil
dealer. His captain, for example,
had been in three fights and two of
those were exhibitions. That would
be Bernie Cody, a heavyweight.
Eddie expects a lot of him this
winter and Cody, quiet, unassum-
ing chap everybody mistakenly
thought was going to be priest, can
be depended on to give his all.
Whether it will be sufficient depends
on the brand of competition the
Cardinals face.

Obregon, South American
With a London Accent, >

The Cardinals also have another
experienced fighter, one Raphael
Obregon, South American with an
oxford accent. He had a round of
experience last year in the Columbus
U. match, losing by a TKO. His is
an odd story. Senor Obregon's S
poppa is In the diplomatic service of
his native country and the boy
spent much of his youth in England.
To every order from the coach he
says, "Righto."
Last year La Fond was sick abed
the eve of the Columbus match
and Catholic u was without light
weight. Senor Raphael Obregon
loves to box but disdains the rigors
Of training. Here, he decided, was a
situation that suited him perfectly
At weighing-in time the afternoon
of the bouts he reported with the
c. U. team, announcing in a loud
voice that the ailing La Fond had
appointed him his minister pleni-
potentiary in the 135-pound class.
Oddly enough, Obregon, who

dancing two extra rumbas at the
Junior prom the night before, almost
kayoed his opponent before running
out of gas.
La Fond has another promising
prospect in Pete Obedinski, a IT'S
FOUNDER, lately arrived from l9s
pounds. Obedinski's handle is q
partial clue to La Fond's success
When the material is scant he digs
up gladiators with impossible names
so the chap in the other corner
doesn't quite get it. Consequently
said opponent spends most of the
three rounds trying to figure out
who he's fighting. No college boy
likes to go back and tell the class
mates he beat some fellow but
doesn't know who.
