Chestnut Street for 41 minutes and

Lewis was as stirs of.

J.ast night at Chestnut street hail
the Technical High school basketball,
quintet clinched the Central Penn
sylvania basketball championship by ,
defeating Reading, runner-up. by a
40 to 32 score. It was a crowd that ;
taxed the capacity of the auditorium, j
and according to Faculty Director
Grubb, 1,500 paid admissions wit- j
nessed the struggle. It reminded one I
of the days when Tech had Central
for an opponent.
Teen's victory last night repeats
what Tech accomplished last season.
After having had poor * teams for
years the Tech lads suddenly forged
to the front and won the 1918 pen- :
nant. only to repeat it last night, i
But one more game remains on the |
schedule. Steelton at Tech. met Fri- I
day night, and even though Steelton |
should do the almost impossible, and j
trim Tech. the local aggregation will '
still lead the league.
To come to last night's game, it j
was a case of two good teams meet- .
ing each other. Heading took des
perate chances. They shot from the
middle of the floor on more than one j
occasion, and several times the ball
slipped through the basket. The
Berks lads knew that it would be j
hard to penetrate the Tech defense, !
so they took all kinds of chances |
and when tjve minutes was left to j
play, Tech had a lead of but two j
points.
At this stage Captain Dingle, i
Frank and Bihl slipped two-pointers j
through the net. clinching the game .
for Tech. The style of play of the |
two teams was entirely different. :
Reading's team play was built!
around Xyquist, who is generally j
conceded to be one of the best play- j
ers in the league. With Tech it was j
a case of having a well-rounded five j
that worked automatically. Frank, j
Ebner, Dingle, Bihl, Wilsbach —all
had a hand in the scoring.
To pick out one man on the team i
would not be a fair comparison to ]
the work of the others. Coach Mil- !
ler sent "Tony'' Wilsbach in to ren- |
ter at the start of the game to give:
the big boy a chance to play in the I
biggest gaute of the season, "H ils" |

night that he has turned author for
I was not in fit physical condition to ,
j play and after he had scored a field i
goal at the end of three minutes,
i Frank replaced him.
"Buddie" Lirtgle was the highest
scorer of the evening with 5 field <
goals to his credit and 14 fouls —a;
total of 24 points for the evening. |
"Vic" Bilir gave Nyquist the sur- ,
prise of his life during the first half j
when the local star held the Read
| fng hoy scoreless from the\field, i
while he himself counted two goals, j
In tl;o seeoiiil half "Dick" cut loose j
' and scored four times, whi!e"Butch" j
i got another counter.
The entire Tech team played a I
i good game, and every one deserves j
j credit. In addition to Nyquist, Ju-i
lian, who replaced Captain Sailer, j
did well for the visitors as did >
1 Friedman at center for Reading. It j
was a great game and not a fan but :
was pleased with the showing of
Tech.
And now for the reserves. This
i aggregation walloped Tarsus 50 to
111 in the preliminary game, crush-
I ing all chances the gymnasts had of I
j winning from the varsity, or of
| playing the Independents for the
I championship. Giving the Tech
scrubs their dues is to say that they .
! can trim at least half of the regu- 1
! lar teams in the Central Penn 1

. classmen, and this fact assures Tech
jof championship ball for several j

once and tells the ring fans in his own
words what to expect. Says Sam:
"Everybody is talking about this and it
is surely going to appeal to all local
fans. Never has the Motive Power gone
to so much expense in effort to arrange .
an all-star, classy show. Many persons
here seem to have the impression that j
the exhibitions are only for those em
ployed by the railroad, but B. William
Runk. who is helping to make a success
of it. wishes to announce that they are
winning this boxing carnival not only
for the railroaders but for the Harris
burg public in general."
| Sammy Schiff who meets the hard
hitting Otto O'Keefe in the windup. is
working like a fiend, for he figures he
will have to be in excellent condition
Sam always likes to give the best he
1 has and never thinks of stalling when
in the ring.
Here's a few words from his training i
camp to the Sports Editor of the Har
risburg Telegraph: "Just a word to
let you know that T am taking the best
care of myself and am working hard
to get Into condition for my fights with
Have Medar and Otto O'Keefe. I am
up every morning at 6 o'clock and start
for a long jaunt on the road. I am
working out every afternoon with good ■
boxers at the Peerless Gymnasium. You
can tell the Harrisburg fans that they
! will see some bout when I clash with
Otto O'Keefe. I don't want to take any !
credit away from Otto, for he is a good '
shifty boxer. I figure him to be any- I
thing but a set up.
Yours in Sport.

THE unusual interest in the Nash truck line
evidenced at this time is perhaps heightened
by the knowledge that more trucks, we believe,
were built by the Nash Motors Company during
the war for military purposes than were pro
duced by any other maker.
The Nash Motors Company built nearly thir
teen thousand Nash trucks for military service.
This preference of the Government for Nash
products is readily understood upon close
inspection of the many superior mechanical
features of Nash truck construction.
For example, owners are quick to appreciate
the automatic locking differential with which
all Nash trucks are equipped. This feature,
besides saving fuel and tires, enables Nash -
trucks to make surer and safer deliveries with no
time out because of weather or road conditions.
Reasonably prompt deliveries can be made to
immediate buyers.

the famous Nash Quad, at the Show.
