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.

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.
