Long Unbeaten Strings

Tech, undefeated in % games

thongs. winner of 10 straight this
year, at $3.50 in Tech gym and
both clubs rely almost exclusively
on their starting fives.
Eddie Moyle. the TONES coach,
can be expected to stick with Bob
Hall, Tom Cassidy. Jack Sullivan,
George Shugars and Phil Tore
until the outcome is no longer in
doubt.
Dutch Usilaner will start his
high-scoring Trainers combina-
tion of Bill Breen. Snookie Ker-
nan. Babe Marshall, Frank Sulli-
van and Joe Cav. If past per-
formances are an indication.
Dutch will have these boys in
there until shortly before the first
half ends and in all the third
quarter.
Both Have Scoring Punch.
Led by Breen and Herman, who
have averaged 40 points between
them every game except one this
season. the Trainers have not been
held below a 70-point output SO
far. Most of Techs games have
been clinched in a high-scoring
third quarter when the fast
breaking Trainers have turned q
close contest into a runaway.
st. Anthony's has a pair of high
point men who can give Tech
trouble. Cassidy and Hall are
usually tough to stop. Last Fri
day night. Cassidy scored IS points
in the first half against DeMatha
while the left-handed Hall was
blanked but Bob turned in a 49,
point performance in the final
quarters as Tom failed to hit the
basket.
Hall and the TONES Jack Sui
livan should get an even break
on the rebounds with the Train
ers' Frank Sullivan and Cav but
stopping Breen and Herman will
be Moyle's big problem.
