0fBe|I High Quintet
Bell High Schools basketball
team has shown that it belongs
right up there with Chamber
lain as a top contender for the
1nterhigh League title.
Last week in the leagues

won again yesterday and now

nerup in the league last year,
has been the victim of each and
now is in last place along with
Western, both with O-2 records.

the end. defeated Roosevelt, So

game, Anacostia evened it's
league record at IL with a 60-46
victory over Western.

game winning streak after an
opening season loss to Landon.
Coach Says Practice Needed.
I'VE are gaining momentum"
Coach Frank Kley said, "but we
need to practice more on our
ball handling. The court press
they Roosevelt) used and our
ragged play in the closing stages
almost cost us the game"
