Final StandinES1

The Interhigh League ended
its regular basketball season yes
terday with Armstrong winning
the East Division title, but a
playoff is necessary to determine
the West Division champion.
Armstrong defeated Spingarn,

half of the title while Cardozo
got by Wilson, 58-44, at Roose-
welt and Dunbar swamped Roose-
welt, 1921. at Tech in crucial
West Division games.

league play with 1912 records and
will play off at $3.50 pm. tomor-
row at Tech. The winner meets

tables last week. STAG.
This time it is for the blue

the two previous meetings, Car

A new recording OF Schu-
mann's 'Dichterliebe" cycle
and a separate collection Of
10 Schumann songs have
just been provided by the
prominent young German
baritone, Dietrich Fischer
Dieskau.
The "Dichterliebe" set has
been done before but Fischer
Dieskau. q fervent and SEN
sitive singer. surpaSses the
three that ! have heard for
expressiveness. Six fine
Brahms songs are appended
TO Schumann's 10 on the
Decca disc.
Even more welcome is the
second record. the most gen.
erous collection Of assorted
6chumann songs to appear
to date. Included are all IL
songs Of OPP. IS, to poems by
Kerner. which one might al
most label a cycle.
Decca's jacket for this disc
mentions Schumann's prob
ing into the meanings of the
text" causing one to wonder
why neither issue includes
texts or translations, only
paraphrases.
Fischer-Dieskau is featured
In an arresting new Angel
collection of l6 Wolf songs.
Gerald Moore as the keyboard
partner adds a special di-
mension. This time texts and
free translations are in
cluded.
Kristen Flagstad's voice
retains most of its old opu-
lence in eight songs OF Wolf
and six OF Richard Strauss
on a new London record.
What is lacking in animation
Is easily made up thereby.
Texts are supplied.
Four more Wolf songs, part
Of a l949 recital by Kathleen
Terrier in Norway. have been
made available on London.
The distinctive Terrier voice
Is heard also in airs from
Purcell's Parry Queen" and
Handel's "Atalanta" and
! "Admeto." Applause can be
excused in the circumstances,
since they signify an I'M
expected addition to the
short list Of Terrier re-
cordings.
Seventeen Brahms songs
are tastefully and expressive
ly sung and played on Angel
by the German baritone Hans
Hotter and Mr.. Moore. Two
