Two Field Goals
BY G|etner Clip
Eagles Wings
Record for SchooIboy
Comes Here Is Set
By 5,100 Crowd

A brace of field goals by Tommy
Gletner in an overtime period
after the teams had battled to a
26-all stalemate in regulation
time, gave st. Johns a 1923 victory
over Gonzaga and with it the
mythical private school champion
ship last night at Uline Arena.
A crowd of 5,100, an all-time
record for schoolboy games here,
saw the spunky Purple come from
behind and ring up three points in
the last minute of regulation time
to overtake the Cadets. The
Eagles forged ahead briefly at the
start of the overtime on Scotty
Cranston's spectacular overland
shot, but Gletner, a great clutch
player, came through with his pair
of shots to settle the issue.
It was the Cadets second win Of
the campaign over their old rivals
and boosted their record to Is VIC
tories against four defeats. And If
their performance last night was a
criterion, the Scarlet and Gray are
going to give their opponents In
The Evening Star tournament a
run for all the marbles.

st. Johns had complete control
of the game in the first half. run
ming up an 8-4 margin in the first
quarter and leading by 1873 at the
half. Frank Gaegler, "Johnno'
Hughes and Gletner were the Ca
dets' big guns in the first two
periods, while George Jelly, who
chalked up six of his II points
during the first half, kept Gonzaga
in the running.
Jelly and Joe Burke gave the
Purple a 17-14 lead at the start Of
the second period with rapid-fire
attack that caught their rivals of
balance. But Ed Ponton and
Hughes spanked a counter-attack
that knotted the score at 18-all at
the half
1t was nip-and-tuck throughout
the final two periods, with the lead
changing three times before Burke
took pass from Cranston and
sank the snowbird that tied i1 up
at 26-an.
St. Johns Freezes Ball.
st. Johns tried to protect its
vanishing lead by freezing the ball
as time ticked away but the aroused
Eagles snatched a stray pass and
started it on It's way toward the
tying basket. When Cranston
arched in his overland shot at the
start of the overtime it seemed as
though Gonzaga might pull the
game out of the fire, but Gletrier,
cool as a January morn, came
| through like a veteran trouper.
There was a dramatic moment
Immediately after Gletner's first
shot deadlocked the score at 1928
when Gonzaga's Garvey drew two
foul shots. He stepped to the free
stripe and bounced both of the rim
to the dismay of the Puppies sup
porters.
| Gonzaga's Jayvees salvaged some
of the schools prestige by whipping
the Cadet Juniors, 21-17, for their
18th consecutive victory of the
campaign.
The first game of the triple
header saw St. Gabriel's nose out
Calvert School, 7-6, for the Paro-
chial School League crown.
