EASTERN TEAM WINS TOURNEY Fitchburg, .Mass., II ig h School Wins National Basketball Championship f'hicago. April s.—The flashy quintet of- Fitchburg, Mass., high school will return to the Bay state early this week with a shiny gold basketball, emblematic of victory in the national interscholastic tournament which ended here Saturday night.

D„ high school, the easterners outpassed and outshot the North Dakotans and emerged 25 to 14. champions of the United States. For several years, the crown has been held in the middle west.

D., was kept on the defensive by the Colorado squad until the last j quaiter, when it smashed through to a 20-13 victory. Salem S. D,. beaten by Fitchburg Mass., earlier in the day. then fought it out with Pueblo and won third; place in the championship fight by de-J feating the Colorado high school, 13. to 12. The South Dakotans had come I through an entire season without lo.s-j ing a game until the champions of Massachusetts downed them in the semi-finals by a single point, 18-17. j Tn the consolation finals of the tournament, Zanesville, Ohio, carried oft’j the honors in spectacular fashion’ when W. Smith. Ohio guard, placed a neat field goal as the timekeeper lifted his gun to end the game. The easterners won the consolation title over the Laster-Day Saints, of Salt
