STATE LIVE BIRD SHOOTERS SEEK HONORS HERE TODAY-TECH PLAYS ROSEWOOD SCHOLASTIC RACE 1 IS NEAR FINISH Greenawalt Is Star Scorer; P Central High Has Good Chance to Win Scoring six goals from field and 11 fouls In the game played against Teeh 1 at th» Auditorium last Thursday night ' for a total of 23 points, Greenawalt, York High's star pivot man took the lead in the Central Pennsylvania bas- 1 ketball league as chief scorer. He displaced Snyder, the Heading for ward, who has held the lead since the opening of the season. The York star has amassed a total of 164 points for eight games, leading in total points scored as well as points , per game. Reading still continues to lead the league in both defensive ana offensive play. The "Dutch" have averaged slightly less than 36 points per game, while their opponents were j held to 25 tallies on an average for; each contest. Kote, the Central captain, has made more field goals per contest than any : other guard in the league. However, he has missed several contests with I his team. Want Central to Win With Tech practically eliminated i from the race, because of the York and Reading defeats in this city, lo- 1 cal followers are looking for Central to cop the pennant. This is how they figure. Coach McCord's proteges have five more games to play, four of which will be on their own floor. The only ' game to be played away is at Lancas ter next Saturday night. If Rote plays for Central the local team runs good prospects of winning the game and the pennant. Both contests with Tech are on the I Auditorium floor, while Steelton and Reading come to this city for return games. This would allow Central to end the season, providing it wins its home games, with nine victories and three defeats, with York and Reading tied for second place with eight wins j i and four defeats. Steelton Must Help For this to happen Steelton will ; * have to defeat Reading at Steelton.,. and Lebanon will be compelled to win: 1 at home in its remaining games. With ' the season six weeks off and the teams 1 closely bunched, one slip will "spill •he beans" for any pennant conten- ! der. With Central playing four of its remaining flvo games at home, and ! Rote in the game at Lancaster next Saturday local devotees of the indoor ' game look for Central to clean up five 1 straight games. The standing of the teams is as fol- ! lows: W. L. Pet.

He will do a bit of training here two or three days, per haps—before starting East. "Rieht now all that is the matter with Willard is the hang over from a cold. It lias really helped him in one way.
