the District Interhigh double
header at Tech last night and
qualified for the playoffs which
start Friday night.
Anacostia beat Chamberlain,
61-55, in the second game to win
sixth place.
Unlucky Jim Wexler, who
scored % points for Western to
come within one of tying VIII
sons Lon Herzbrun for the In
terhigh scoring leaderships this
season, saw his misfortune con-
tinue in the dressing room after
the game.
Westerns victory put the
Raiders in a tie with Tech for
third place in the standings.

17-f2 lead in the first quarter
and increased the margin to
1923 at" the half. Western had
a 20-point lead late in the third
period but almost blew the ad-
vantage in the final quarter.
Eastern. pared by Joe DAM
broSio, rallied furiously and cut
the margin to seven points with
three and half minutes remain
ing. With Gino D'Ambrosio,
Eastern's high scorer with 10
points, already on the bench with
five fouls. other Ramblers began
to leave by the foul route. Joe
D'Ambrosio, John Linthicum and
Russ Warren all fouled out and
the Eastern comeback folded.
Wexler had a fine chance to
tie or beat Herzbrun, who scored
30 points against Coolidge Fri
day night for the Interhigh scor-
ing lead. Wexler. needing one
point to tie and two to pass
Herzbrun, was warded pair of
foul shots with four seconds re-
naming. He failed on the first
try and stepped over the foul
line in an attempt to follow up
the deliberate miss on the sec
ond one. es
Thus. Herzbrun wins the scor.
ing title with 1919 points, fol-
lowed by Wexler with 1913 and
Coolidge'S Ardle Baker with 1859

City Teams Win

The basketball fans of Nome

school gym. The Nome Merchants
downed the Detachment 23rd ST.

Action was fast and furious in
both games as all teams expert

chants poured in II points in the
final period to top their rivals
who were only able to hit for 6.

The Nome Nanooks took step
in the right direction as they
fought down the Air Force five
1885 in rough tough battle be-
tween the two clubs. The new
edition of the 1854 Nanooks
gained an 81 lead at the first
quarter mark and never were be
hind during the remaining quar-
tiers. At the half, the high school
held 22-14 margin and upped it
to a 1922 count in the third quar-
ter. The Air Force rallied in the
final period with Is points, while
limiting the Nanooks to 7, but
their score fell short by eight.
