St. Joseph High in Cage Thriller,By RAYMOND EDWARD _

DETROIT, Mich.

The City High School ChamPpionship game between Miller
High and St. Joseph~s High was
the event that every one- kad
waiting for.

When Miller and St. Joseph
met this time, at the Olympia
stadium all the basketball fans
turned out to see the big~ game.

Every. cne was sure that it
would. be a good, game and it
was with both teams playing
their best.

During. the first half of the
game St.~ Joseph took. the lead
with a nine-to-nothing advantage in the first ten minutes of
play. Then that cheer team that
you have heard was so wonderful, began to give the boys the
~Miller cat~ of (fight for dear
old Miller High): And fight they
did. - With that passing and
shooting pair of Sam-Gee and
Harold Blackwell when they be
gan to~-click, the whole team}:

seemed to play smoother
and at the end of the first half
Miller was in the lead by the
score of 22 to 17. And the fans
were going wild because of the
hard playing of both teams.

In the second half Miller
started to pile up points; but
St. Joseph was not going to
give up as long as there was a
minute ~of play left in the game.
So they rallied to gain 10 points.
But for every one they put
through the goal, Miller wouid
do the same.

But with four minutes to go
in the last half and the score
47-30, Miller~s coach sent in a
complete team to clinch the
game. By being ~fresh, they could
get around a little faster, which
means a lot in basketball. But
even this did not stop St. Joseph; they ~tried to raly and
for their effort they gained four
points, but when the end of
the secord half finally arrived,
Miller was in the lead by the
score of 47-34.

The high point men for the
two teams were Albert, Dalton
for Miller and Augustino Veditti for St. Joseph. Both of
these players were replacements.

these three things. Particularly
