Upsets Wilson Five

"O'Donnell pitching for Eastern"
is just as good during the basket
ball season as it was last spring
when Jim O'Donnell and Eddie
Kline hurled the Ramblers to the

was tossing strikes through the
basket to earn Is points toward
Eastern's 60-49 upset over Wilson
in the nightcap of schoolboy

won the opener over Anacostia,
41-36, for their second straight.
In both games the eventual win
ners got off with big early margins
and kept ahead all the way.
ODonnell's Is points were just
2 points shy of the one-game
series record set only last week by
Wilson's Jim Young, who last
night was held" to IA points.
A 20-7 Eastern lead in the first
period made the difference. The
Ramblers put on a driving game
and a defensive press at the start
to upset Wilson's attack and used
long passes to set up their own
scores. BY the time the Tigers
got reorganized they were too far
behind.
Terry Gregory was Central's
star. He got of his II points
in the opening period. mostly by
layup shots, to help nightly In
the Vikings 1876 early lead. The
Indians were led by Barney Ryan
and ROLAND Erickson as they ral-
lied to outscore the Vikings in
the second and third periods, and
although they twice pulled to
within 3 points of the leaders they
never were able to move in front.
The schoolboy series is con-
tinued with q triple-header at
Uline's this afternoon, Bell against
Roosevelt, Chamberlain against
Western and Coolidge against
