Packers Prove Easy Prey for Tech High Cagers in Annual Event, Score 29-16 - VJ Maroon and White Squad Leads at • Half Time, 15-2 Coach Drummond’s Hoopsters Hold Lead Acquired Early in Contest—Nelson High-Point Scorer. HK South High basket ball team yesterday didn't look the team that heat Central a few weeks ago when it lost a 29 to Ifi battle to Teeh on the Tech court. Nor did the Teehsters look so much like the same Maroon team that was vanquished last Saturdsy by Cen tral. The Packers went onto the floor with an even break on the dope sheet, but when the well-balanced, ac curate-shooting Tech machine started to work, Patton’s five, winners In six straight starts, was riddled to pieces. Otlimer started the scoring for fhe .Maroon with two free throws and from then on until the end of the quarter the Tech five galloped through and through the South de fense and piled up 15 points while the Packers were busy getting two. Te< ft. repeated for the second frame, Inn the Packers seemed to have re gained some of their lost teamwork and defensive ability. Tech was on the long end of the score at the half 17 to 7. The Maroon and White was never headed by the hard trying Packers, never in danger of being headed. The maroon-clad quintet was working with too much precision, knack for hitting the basket, and breaking up plays. South, fighting bitterly, was helpless, unable to score in spite of having the ball in scoring range time and again. ; The game was unusually rough as a championship was at' stake ami Qthmer and Reeves piled up their al bitted quota of personals. ’’Nellie” Nelson was high-point get-, tfr for the Maroon, with 11 points. ; “Doubledeck” Hoden, Patton’s rejigy center, was the individual star AC-the game. Bernard went wonder fully well considering bis smallness Against the Teehsters. Beeves and $4h<(rom were a tough pair of guards fbr the Tech forwards to get through. Summary: • TECH.

However, Coach Adams thinks that his men will snap out of their letli argy this evening, and indeed, they will have to, for Trinity plays a fast, aggressive game.
