Central, Wilson Clash
In Opener Of Title
PIayoffs Tonight

The championship playoffs for
District public high school basket
ball teams open tonight with Cen
trail and Wilson tangling at o'clock
at Tech gym. Tech, last years
champion, and Coolidge meet to-
morrow night, and the winners will
clash in the big game on Saturday
night.
There is no marked favorite among
the four which finished closely
punched in the round robin. Wilson
was first, with one setback in seven
games. while the others were dead
locked for second with So records.
The Green Tigers topped the
Vikings, 1892, when they met six
weeks ago to open the series, but
there has been much improvement
in both teams. This game, Incl
dentally, will present an interest
ing contrast in styles. Wilson op-
crates a fast-break offense using
the front man in its zone as the
getaway player and its guards do
lot of shooting. Central is a
slower, methodical team, using con-
trolled play and not taking many
long shots. The Vikings use the
man-for man defense.
Both teams have several high
scoring players. Best of Wilson'S is
Gene Taylor, interhigh leader, who
averaged II points game over the
season, while topping the Viking
marksmen is Steve Manos, aver
aging 10.

The second round of the hottest

the University Of Maryland's Ritchie

Johns and Gonzaga meet in what
stacks up as thriller.
When they met earlier this sea-

field goals with two charity throws
spelling the difference as Gonzaga
came out on top, 24-22.
Gonzaga's principal feat in that
hair-raiser was stopping Tommy
Gletner, little st. Johns forward
who has run up 237 points in 20
games. Gletner could not buy a
bucket, but scored three points on
free throws.

Bethesda Highs basket ball team a
triple reward: Cd The Montgomery

Bethesda knocked off Blair by one
point, 24-23, on Harvey McClure's
bucket in the final minutes, but the
nine points racked by the Barons
in the second frame while holding
Blair to one foul shot spelled the
difference.
Blair had taken an 8-5 lead in
the first quarter and actually out
scored the winners in every other
period but the vital second. when
the Bethesda outburst piled up a
16-9 half time lead.

A native of Mineral Springs, N.
c., metropolis of 500, Coan is a
confident, but not conceited, o.
year -old who paced the Southern
Association in batting with a .372
average, plus leading the league in
stolen bases, doubles, triples, home
runs and anything else worth own
ing.
OF Irish-German descent, Coan
says the largest crowd he ever has
performed before was the $4,000
that saw Observation-Disclosures
double-header last year. He has
worked as machine tender in a
paper mill, helping make cigarette
paper. He doesn't smoke.
Ready to Fight for Job.
Son Of former Monroe IN. c.
semipro pitcher, Coan is the father
of 2-year-old boy. Coan's dad
now is fireman, but also has in
terest in a grocery store and serv-
ice station.
Previous plans had called for
Coan to take over center field and
be f1anked by Heath and Spence,
with Buddy Lewis being dispatched
to third base, but those ideas have
been changed. Lewis will remain
in the outfield and it's up to Coan
to oust Lewis, Heath or Spence if
ne desires steady labor.
That isn't disturbing Coan, who
leaves the impression he relishes a
battle.
