LONG GRIND
Mackenzie and Southeastern
are survivors of a long cage sea-
son that got under way on the
first day of December. To reach
the finals, Mackenzie had to beat
Northwestern and Central in the
playoffs, while Southeastern elim-
mated Pershing and Hamtramck.
In trying to repeat, the Stays
will take the floor with squad
that includes not one member OF
the 1914 title team. Even the loss
of two stars, Larry Gaffka and
Tino Sabuco. through graduation
a month ago has prevented Herb
Spathelf's boys from edging their
way into the finals.
Since the loss of the two play
ers. Mackenzie has been seeing IL
4 through with a starting lineup
composed of Jerry Wood, Dan
/ Mckenzie. BeYis Fraser. Jim Kay
+and Pat ciysdaie. Bill Eggensber2
is a sub who has seen a lot Of
action.
TALLEST IN LEAGUE
This lineup Is the tallest in the
/ league, averaging feet 2 inches.
Southeastern however Is not
much smaller. Coach Perry Dea-
kin can place a quintet averaging
6 feet, though he has no individ-
ual who can compare with Woods
6 feet 4 inches.
Most coaches and officials are
inclined TO give Southeastern a
slight edge in Tuesdays battle on
the strength of its reserves. The
Jungaleers have been beaten only
once, but were tied twice. Mac
kenzie dropped two games during
the regular season, both to Gen.
tral.
The Jungaleers are counting on
their excellent balance to whip
the Stays. Any one of Southeast
erns usual starting lineup, Carl
Shuster. Bob Conibear, Jim Tis-
Ter, Larry MANI and Dick Caruso,
is capable of breaking up a ball
game. Deakin also has two good
substitutes, Wallace Riley and
Dick Getting.
