ing TO the Central team. Central has
shown herself the superior of the other
high school teams. though she has
played the weakest teams in the league.
The two hardest games Of the series
remain 20 be played, and will prove
an important factor in the final stand
ing Of the teams.
The Central Western game on
Wednesday will decide Westerns final
standing, and will also give a line on
CentraTs chances of defeating Techni-
cal. as that school defeated the West
ern team. The last game OF the series
will be played on Wednesday, November
25. and, being between Technical and
Central. will be the hardest and most
interesting game of the schedule.
Business has completed its series
with one victory and three defeats.
Eastern has one game yet to play, and
VIII complete her schedule on Tuesday,
when she will play Technical. Al
though she win surely be defeated. the
team from Eastern deserves all the
praise and glory that belong 10 a
plucky losing team. 1t is the lightest
and weakest the school has ever had,
and, although she faces sure defeat in
every game, the entire schedule viii be
played out The boys have proved them-
selves plucl1y and deserving Of more
success than theey attained. Pupils OF
eveery high school have been unreserved
in their praise OF the Eastern team. and
although it viii finish the season with
nothing but defeats, it is certainly not
disgraced.
, Westerns defeat of the strong team
/ from the Episcopal High School has
brought that team to the fore as an
/ important factor in the championship
race. Although Technical has defeated
the Western team, it is a well-known
/ fact that Central fears the Western
warriors more than those from Tech
nical.

/ thLsiastic as to the formation OF al
1 inter-high school debating league. Tire,
of the nve high schools have formed

cerned hope that a series OF inter-higl
school debates VIII be arranged and tn
contests be made a championship mat
ter just as much as the various form

has been no concerted action looking .
the formation of a league and it seem
: that all are awaiting some one to tax

Individual debates and a vast amount Q
good is being derived.
Although the parents and friends c
the pupils are always welcome to visi
the several high schools and admire IN
character of the work done, these de

doubtedly give the schools a prestig
; and prominence never before enjoyed
