With only two games left for
each team before the title playofts
in the District public high basket
ball series, it's about time some
one became established as a favor
lite. But it's still almost anybody'S
pennant, with only Coolidge, cham
pion last year, definitely out. The
others are squared away for fight
down to the final wire, and there's
good chance for a preliminary
playoff or two before the regular
playoffs.
Central and Roosevelt, still shar-
ing first place after yesterdays four
games, should be in there all right,
but they have troubles ahead. Next
week they go against Western and
Anacostia, neither pushover, and
then meet each other to finish the
round robin. It's ending with the
tough clubs playing each other all
down the line. Wilson and Tech
play Coolidge, only beatable club
anybodys been able to find, and
they also must face Anacostia and
Eastern, respectively. It's not an
easy ending-and for the next two
Fridays the Armory should be a
madhouse.
Neither Central nor Roosevelt had
it particularly easy holding on to
first place yesterday. The Vikings
had to 60 overtime yesterday after
noon to nose out Anacostia, previ-
ously in a three-way tie for the
ton, 4l-40, and Roosevelt got hot
in the late going last night to beat
Coolidge. 41-29. That game was
tighter than the score indicates,
with the Colts folding. in the last
period when the Rough Riders
sprang a zone defense on them.
Wilson also used zone for the
first time this year-after everybody
had figured Coach Tony Kupka
finally had abandoned it-but 1t
didn't help as Eastern came from
