The players singled out by
Pieri are Doug McMurdy Of

Winning basketball cham
pionships is nothing new for
Cardozo High School.
The Clerks have won five
straight West Division basket
ball titles since indignation in
the l954-55 season. For the
last two years they have held
the league championship.
Cardozo puts 1t on the line
again tomorrow. this time
against Spingarn. the East
Division titlist.
While his team stayed home
and practiced, Coach Frank
Bolden was taking notes Of the
Spingarn-E Eastern East Division
playoff game yesterday at Nc
Kinley High and came away
with the feeling his boys
might not make 1t tomorrow,
THAT Spingarn team did all
anyone could ask" he said
after Spingarn's victory. "The
way they handled those boards
and worked that ball for shots,
puts us on the spot. / don't
think we can do It,"
So y
The last remark by Bolden
probably was said with tongue
in cheek.
After all, q team that has
won II In q row this season
isn't going to be any pushover
BY coincidence. Cardozo's only
loss was its season opener to
Spingarn.
In the five years since inte-
grafton, the Clerks have COM
piled q 49, basketball record
in regular season play in the
Interhigh League. They have
won 26 straight in league play
since midway Of the 1867
season.
There is no Rip Scott, an
All-Metropolitan last year, but
Cardozo still has a formidable
squad in Everett Lucas, Eugene
Bullock, Frank Harrison. Tom
Johnson, John Douglas, Peter
Walters, Richard Bush and
Marshall johnson.
But there are those who are
saying Cardozo had it much
easier in its division, playing
far weaker teams than those
in the East Division. On that
theory, the Clerks haven't had
a real test as yet.
However, there is no question
that tomorrow's game will
bring together two strong
teams. Spingarn, counting its
victory over Eastern yesterday,
puts a 10-game winning streak
against Cardozo's string.
