The number of scholarships
also was the lowest yet reported.
William and Mary, with 110

average amount of the W&M
scholarship was far below the
average at privately operated

Late Rally by Wex|er
Leads Western VIM;
Wilson Scores Easily
INTERHIGH STANDINGS.

If Westerns Jim Wexler can
ever hit equally well in both
halves. the Interhigh individual
scoring record in basketball of
So points will be in jeopardy.
Last night. Wexler made 10
points in the first half and %
in the second to lead Western
to a 59-43 victory over Bell in
the first half of an Interhigh
doubleheader at Tech.
Lon Herzbrun, another con-
sistently high scorer. totaled %
points for Wilson as his team
knocked off Anacostia, 54-44,
before $50 fans in the second
game.
Wexler Leads League.
Against Coolidge last week,
WeXler was hot in the first half
and made 20 points. In the final
periods, he was held to six. His
total of So points makes him
the Interhigh's leading scorer,
but a combination of two good
halves in the future could push
Wexler past Phil Weintraub's
record total for the Western
against Chamberlain in 1949.
Wilson and Western, tradi-
tional rivals, showed Interhigh
fans they will be in the battle
for a playoff spot.
Roosevelt, Eastern and Cool
idge seem to have the best chance
to make the title round, so West
ern and Wilson could find them
selves fighting each other for the
fourth spot.
AnacOstia Fades.
Last night Anacostia never
was in contention after the first
quarter, which ended at IA points
each. Wilson led, 1921, at half
time and never was threatened
despite a fine showing by Ana
coStia's Dick Butler, who made
all his IL points in the second
half to top the Indians scorers.
HerZbrun connected on seven
field goals and sank of 13 free
throws.
Bell got off to a 1873 lead in
the first quarter, but trailed,
23-19, at halftime. Wexler's Sec
ond-half spree iced the game for
the Raiders. Bill Dagenhardt
topped Bell with 13 points.
Tonight Roosevelt meets Cham
berlain at 7:30 and Tech takes
