Tech is at the head of the Central Pennsylvania League with a record of six games won and two lost. Central Is fourth with four games won and four games * os J- Tech's record, therefore, is much lietter than Central's, thereby mak ing them the favorites. However, the Central team has been playing an erratic this season, playing in enamplonship form one game and the next game they would play liKe a bunch of grammar school boys. Central Takes Brace After Central suffered a defeat at tho hands of the Harrlsburg Acade iry several weeks ago they braced up and surprised all the dopesters bj defeating York High, score 30-24 The next night they walloped Bead ing High, score 30-24. That game central five plaved a brand of bas ketball which if they equal to-night may bring victory. Friday and Saturday they I layed at Reading and AUentown, losing both games. They outscorea AUentown from the field, but had too many fouls called on them to win the game. Because the games between these two schools are al ways more important than any o" 1 " P r, the Central crowd believes that their team is going to stage another . omeback and spring a big surprise or. the Walnut street lads to-night. There will bo many interesting features about the game. The two csptains will be paired off against each other. Captain Wolfe will guard Certain Huston.

He al ways sets the example for the rest of the team by fighting hard all the time. Wolfe can be counted on to do his share of the guarding and will keep Huston to a minimum number of tallies from the field. Field* Speed Boy Art Fields, the speedy Central guard, will be pitted against Lingle, one of the fastest forwards in the league. These two boys once played on the same grammar school team. Both are very fast on the floor. All season Lingle has been playing a stellar game for Tech. Fields is considered one of the fastest guards in the league. He is an excellent man for working the ball down the floor and can be counted on for sev-. eral goals in every game. His work on the defense has been great all year. To-night he will have a chance to prove that he is the best guard in the league. Noble Frank, the high scorer In the league, will play against Wils bach* Frank easily surpasses any one else in the league. All year it has been the wonderful work of Frank from the field and the foul line that has kept Central in the race. He has scored an average of more than twenty-four points a game. Beck, Tech's best guard, will play against Goodiel. Kohlman and Wright will be the other pair of gladiators. An enthusiastic mass meeting is being held daily at Central and an extra large cheering section !s as sured.

Merle Harris Leading in Pennsylvania League Pittston, March 7.—Merle Harris, speedy forward on the Pittston Club, has stepped into leadership of the individual scorers in the Penn State Basketball League. Since Kane haff been dropped by Wilkes-Barre, Harris' closest rival is Dick Leary, now with Hazleton, and the Pittston boy has a margin ol' 18 points over Leary, and promises to still hold the scoring crown when the season closes, on March 16. Harris is classed as an "amateur" in the Penn State, sipce all his league experience has been in that circuit. He has spent his entire cage career with the Pittston clnb, breaking in with the independent team representing this town ten years ago. .He is a consistent player, an ex tremely fa t dribbler and has a good eye from he 15-foot mark. Harris has tallie I 70 field goals and 136 fouls for a total of 280 points in forty games. Garry Schmeelk, the other Pitts ton forward, leads in field goals, with 90 in thirty-four games. "Dots" Miller Objects to Playing With Marines Washington, standing the l'act that he's in the Marine Corps as a volunteer, Jack ("Dots") Miller, formerly of the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals, thought he stood a good chance of being drafted.

"Gee, I don't want to be drafted and play ball," grumbled "Dots" when informed that he might be chosen to play on the crack Marine nine. "I want to fight—that's why I joined this tyitfit. And now they want me to play ball. Can you beat such luck?" But when General Barnett was informed that Miller would rather fight than play ball he declined to order him to Washington. Miller would probably have man aged the Cardinals the coming sea son had he stuck to baseball in stead of joining the colors.

Last year Tech won the first game and dropped the second. The third game was never played. This year in case of a tie, a third contest will be necessary in order to determine the ownership of the Diener trophy.
