[ "A" LEAGUE The Wilmette Tailors behind ol fensive thrusts by Robert Clark an rrank Kolb inflicted another defea on the Joe Lynam Sinclairs. Afte~ faiing to win either of its firs games, the Tailors have struck baci with impressive victories over tw top-notch teams, the Moderne Clean ers' and now the Sinclairs. The scor at the haîf favored the Tailors, 1< ta 7, and they went on to win, 21 ta 17. Robert Meter and the Heitmar brothers, Jack and Fred, supphie~ the scoring punch for the' Moderne Cleaners lii their 34 tô 20 win ovel 'the Fridmans. Robert corînected sev- "En t1VT1~8, 3,ek 'five; etrd~'Fred ~tiiree. A 14 ta 12 score at haîf time with Modernes ahead indicated a~ close game, but the second haîf drive of the Cleaners proved too much for Roger Fridman and his boys. The Lyman Drugs, hi defeating the River Inn team, remains .tied for first place in the league race with the Moderne Cleaners. D'ick Joslin, lanky conter of the Lymans, scored sevei~ baskets' and made good' seven of eight freo throws ta lead the scorers in the' 41 to 20 gaibe. The peedy George Qulnlan'~ guarding and ~ennold Ostrom's work under the baskets were outstandin.g in the one sided encounter," WIU Divide Seamon It bas been decided by the man- agers of the teams reDresenting the !'A" bague' to divide the' season into halves. A play-off at the end of the season between the winners of ea'ch hall' will determine the champions. This, it is believed, will make a more interesting season and will give a team 'which is off to a poor start a chance to recover in the last haîf of hie season's play. Team StandIngs Team W. L.

Starting in the first quarter with the lead, the Sham- rocks refu.~ed to relinquish it throughout the game. The W. W. L. came back to take the Flashes, 2~ to 7, to remain in the 'tie for first place. George Gockel found the hoop four times to account for eight of the Walther boys" points, and to hold scoring honors. Jim Cia rke and Bih Schmick, for- ward and center for the Wihlies, were too much for the Porkers, wbo suceume~i to the onslaught of these sbarpshooters, 38 to' 16~., Eae~i of these boys scored 15 points to lead the scorers and to give 'their team i an easy victory. GIRLS' LEAGUE The Shooting Stars got in the win column in the Girls' league by de- I feating the Maroons, 16 to 13. After a good start, leading at the half, 8 to 4, the Shooting Stars were slowed i down and held to elght points in the second haîf while the Maroons scored fine points. New Trier-Waukegan varsity cage games have a habit ôf building speed as they go along, with the outcome a matter of doubt until the closing seconds. We'll neyer forget some of those thrillers of the last two sea- sons, in the regular schedule and in the state tournament. There certainly is no lack of talent on the grey-green squad. Wîth the breaks coming their way, and with a new determination to "show a few people," there seems a good prob- ability that our boys will make Wau- kegan their ftrst Suburban victim. Pierce h Fierce One of the chief barriers to the attainment of this end will no doubt be Waukegan's Pierce, Ail-Suburban selection la st year. This fellow is not only a great defensive player... he is one of the. circuit's fastest passers and a deadl.y shot. Coach Clyde Grater and 'his new a~s1~t~hnek Laué1~ \&dll be doing' their best to pep up the local's style. Once thjs gang 'bits its stride, it ought to give the other leaguesters plenty of competition. Chuck Lauer has already made a hit with the. boys. They report that they like hîs ideas and his coaching style. lie had some of the third and fourth stringers working on funda- Domino captain, scored five times to Iead in this department. 'The Groucho t0am walked' over B. B. Udeil's team, 48 to 16, to make it liVe wîns in the t'C" league. The ~3roucho have bested every other team in the league, as the first round i inishes. lu Second Place The Codgers nosed out the Corné ~iuskers, 29 to 28, to take second 3lace in the standings. Littie Don ~cIlraith, playing forward for the ~odgers, made 15 points in the first îalf, but was stopped without a ~eore in the second haif. These' bas- ~ cets were enough to gîve him high ;coring honors for the came. Swirnniers to J±njoy BI-Annual Dinner on Tliursday Evenin g By Woody. Wilson Members. of New Trier H i g h school's swimming squads were to enjôy their bi-annual dinner, Thurs- day evening of this week, in the fac- ulty dîning hall at the school. The team bas two of these affairs every year. the first just before t h e Christmas hohidays and the second at the end of the season. Perhaps the fellows will take a littie time out. to celebrate the ac- comphishment of their first Suburban league win.
