Victory Over Carroll
Boosts Roosevelt for
High School pIayoffs
By Dick SIoy

Roosevelt will enter the Inter-
high League playoffs Tuesday
night against Spingarn in an
ideal frame Of mind, Coach Gabe
Ferazzi feels.
The reason Is a tasty, 62-53
win over Carroll yesterday after
a fine offensive battle with the
Catholic League power In Roose-
velt's gym.
1t was q matter Of prestige.
since Carroll whipped one Of the
Interhigh favorites. Armstrong.
only last Monday. And on that
count Ferazzi is pleased.
Its good to know your capa-
bilities. the Roosevelt coach said.
81 thought we played very well
out there. We had good balance.
We were hitting from the outside
and on the inside, too. and we
were getting the rebounds"
Predicts Close Game.
Carroll, noted for, its defense,
has not permitted an opponent
such advantages often this sea-
son. The Lions suffered only
their fifth defeat in 10 games
while Roosevelt closed out its
schedule with a 14-4 record.
Three of the Riders losses were
by two points each. to Montgom-
cry Blair. Cardozo and Dunbar.
CAROLS last defeat before
yesterday was to Spingarn and
Coach Bob Dwyer has an idea
what Roosevelt will be facing
Tuesday night.
They're going to run into a
team that will out-rebound them
although Roosevelt has plenty
of height-and outshoot them,
too, but Roosevelt plays better
defense than Spingarn," Dwyer
figures.
Carroll grabbed two eight
point leads in the first quarter
on the outside shooting of Bill
Hessler and inside work Of Frank
Wightman but Dick Preziotti,
Charley Featherstone and De.
metre Koutras wiped that out
at the start Of the second and
Roosevelt trailed only twice, at
1926 and 1927, thereafter.
Hessler Leads Scores.
Roosevelt held a 1928 lead at
the half and stretched it to ST.
Al entering the final quarter
after being tied at 37-all. Hess
Ter topped everyone in scoring
with 10 points and Wightman
contributed II more to the losing
cause. Preziotti sank 18 points
and Ken Eriksson got Is. most
of them early when he helped
crack Carroll's zone defense,
Carroll junked its zone after
being tied, 1920, and used man
to-man the rest Of the way.
CAROLS scheduled game with
Mount st. Joseph tomorrow has
been moved up to tonight at 8
o'clock in Baltimore.
Dunbar, warming up for next

very poor season with only three

last night and are in a position
to do it again tomorrow after

| A 1886 victory over Priory
in the opener Of a double
header at DeMatha killed Pri-
ory's chances for a playof berth.
The second game was an easy
67-42 win for Gonzaga over De-

The fourth playoh spot now
is a struggle between Mackin
and Georgetown Prep. both with
two league games remaining.
Gonzaga figures to beat Prep
tomorrow and Carroll should
beat the Little Hoyas March 8.
