SECOND TEAMS TO PLAY FINAL GAME An Additional Attraction For Friday Night on Audi torium Floor Enthusiasm is running high among I local basketball fans because, of the games scheduled for Friday night at the Auditorium between the tirst and second teams of the Central and Tech nical high schools. AVhile the Central varsity five is ex- ! pe> ted to repeat its former victory over the Maroon, there is much specu lation as to the outcome of the battle I between the second team. When the 1 teams met before, the Tech under- j studies nosed out a :!« to 35 victory, so that Friday night's contest is any body's game. It is probable that the result will hinge largely on the ability of Holland and iJiegler to cage fouls I for their respective teams. Holland, (he clever little Tech for-I j ward, scored 22 out of 28 fouls in the tirst game, while "Shorty" Ziegler did ! almost as well for Central.
