This statement of futility by other members of the Queen City Major AAU league sums up their respect for the potency of the Center quintet. T h e Jewish lads have play- ed 12 games this season. They have also won 12 games 'this season. Last year the story was much the same. Beckman Th.e Center cagers participated in 35 con- tests. They were winners 34 times. Such a record is to be ex- pected from the champions. Vir- tually every man played in col- lege circles at one time or an- other. Max Wharton, the 6 ft. 4 in. center, is a former Temple star. COL.

Lerner Paces Temple IT'S A GOOD thing for Tem- ple University that Eddie Lerner was persuaded to remain in school rather than try his hand at professional basketball. Kentucky, one of the nation's top teams, will attest to Eddie's outstanding ability, It was Lerner who played the dominant role in Temple's start- ling 60-59 victory over the Southerners, a victory which, in- cidentally was the first of the year for the visitors.
