The local football card for today is
one of the best that has been offered
this season. The meeting of Amherst
Aggies and Worcester Tech at the
Oval should provide hard, clean foot
lball. The Aggies have shown remark
able strength this season. Beginning
with a victory over Holy Cross, Am
herst Aggies improved rapidly and the
showing of the farmers this season Is
decided Improvement over that OF any
previous year.
Worcester Tech had fast practice
work yesterday in preparation for the
game. Notice was received from the
Aggies' management that the team
would reach Worcester early this MORN
promptly at o'clock. AT the close
of the football game, the big drawing
| card of the afternoon will be pulled off,
| a meeting of the sophs and freshmen
of Worcester Tech in a game of associ-
alton football The game is a substi-
tute for the annual cane rush, and 1t
will offer exceptional opportunities for
| displays of class strength. 1t Is ex-
pected that at least 100 men viii be in
| the game, and the struggle will be for
| 30 minutes or after that time until a
decision is reached.
Boston English High will line up
against Worcester High on Academy
Oval No admission will be charged.
Boston English High has shown more
strength than last year, and Worces-
ter High isn't likely to have walk
over as was the case last season when
| the local lads triumphed by score of
80 to O. The lineup for Worcester High
will be: lie McGrail II Orr, lg Moore C
M Carney, rg ]. Carney, TT Maclin, re
Jackson, qb C. Lauder lib Cahtll, RIB
E. Lauder (Capt), fb Pierce
| In the practice work Of the High
| School team yesterday, c Lauder
| showed a disposition to tumble punts.
In the Groton game, these slipups were
| costly Courtney will have trial to-
| day at quarter The team is so light be-
! nln0 the line lHdL tildn6to may pN AAtN
essary before the Academy game. Orr
| has been tried at one Of the halves,
but he has not yet shown the speed,
although he is we'll built and heavy
enough to be able to hit the line hard.
Holy Cross will have an afternoon Of
hard work against Tufts. The Medford
team has scored on Yale. and every
thing considered, has played better
football than for several seasons. Holy
| Cross has improved In the past few
days and will be able TO show a
stronger front than in previous games,
| but it will be necessary for the purple
/ to display unexpected strength to hold
| the Tufts total within respectable lin
! it's.
| Worcester Athletic Club Will meet
| Fulton Athletic Club on the Sutton
Lane Grounds. This game will show
| the strength Of Worcester's indepen-
| dent teams. Rivalry between the teams
! has been rekindled and the battle is
/ sure to be hard fought.
Highland Military Academy and Gin
| ton High School viii play at Clinton.
The Groton-W Worcester Academy
/ game at Groton IS an important con-
| test Grotons victory over Worcester
| High and the fact that Worcester
/ Academy is High Schools greatest ri
, val will be factors in making the in
terest in Academy's showing today, de-
cidely keen.
