8 Prep Teams
Vie for 4 Places
BY JAKE BERSON

More ifs and "bLtS' than you
can shake rulebook at are
wrapped up in the closing week
of the regular Metropolitan
League prep cage schedule to-
morrow.
Eight teams, winner and run
ner-up in each OF the four sections,
are scheduled TO open the play
offs next week, but so far only
four Schools-Central, Northwest
ern, Hamtramck and Mackenzie
are sure OF places.
No less than eight other quln-
tets are in the running for the
remaining four berthS, so the final
weeks card rates as the most
important thus far this season.
