MAY CLINCH PENNANT

THIS Is a difficult week for the Cen
tral High School basketball team.
Only three games remain en the Mir
rors' league schedule and two of them
will he played this week. On Tuesday
they meet the West Philadelphia High
nassers In the Speedboys' gm and on
Friday travel to Nlcetown Boys' Club to
play Northeast.
Central Is leading the Interscholastlc
League by a game, with Southern In
second place, Just a half a game In
front of West Philadelphia. Northeast
Is In fourth position, two games behind
Central High. Two victories for Cen
tral High will clinch the pennant. West
Philadelphia and Northeast, however,
are going along In great stylo and are
confident of downing the leaguo leaders.
With the team not playing up to Its
former standard, due no doubt to the
loss of Flxter. at center and the playing
of the game on a foreign floor, It Is not
unlikely that Central will lose one and
possibly the two contests this week.
Doctor O'Brien Is working hard to find
a way 'In which he can fill the gap at

rjIHE second of thoso so-called "crucial
J- points" ot the Tenn basketball sea
son will make Its appoaranco tomorrow
evening at Wclghtman Hall. This never
falling1 condition, atways popular with
the managers of tho box office, mado Its
debut Saturday a week ago, when the
Yalo flvo played here. Pcnn was suc
cessful at that tlmo and got Into the
running for the Intercolleglato basket
hall pennant
Tomorrow evening tho strong- Prince
ton five will bo the attraction at the
Pcnn gym. Tho pennant bea has been
buzzing around tho Tigers' campus nnd
they liavo visions of winning tho tro
phylcss title. They havo played two
leaguo games and won both. They arc
leading tho pennant race, with Yale and
Pcnn half a game behind, tied for second
place. A vitcory for Tenn wilt boost
them Into tho lead.
Havo Strong Finish
The playing of tho Pcnn team In the
second half of the game with Swarth
moro quintet Saturday night waa of high
order, nnd speaks well of their chances
wllh Princeton. If Coach Jourdct and
Martin can get the team to play with the
same dash In the first half that haa
characterized their gamo Immediately
following the Intermission, Pcnn will
cause Princeton a great deal moro worrl
menr. , i
In tho Yale and Swnrthmoro games
the Quakers went about their work In
the first half apparently without any
oer-abundanco of pep. Their guarding
was open for criticism. They Beemed
content to keep tho ball around the cen
ter of the floor, trusting to long shots
Instead of working nearer the basket.
In tho second half, however, all was
different. They played with a dash that
literally carried their opponents off the
floor. The passing, shooting and cut
ting for the basket was on a par with
any college team in tho country.
