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. Horace
Geisel will officiate in the game be
tween the two league teams, while Ira
Arthurs will call the penalties when
the scrubs line up.
These two Independent players offi
ciated in the two previous contests
! and gave satisfaction. Dancing will
follow basketball.
