HIGH SCHUOL WILL TRY ITS SPEED
AGAINST THE WEIGHT OF c. B. c. TEAM

The real strength OF the Central High
School team could not be told from It's
showing in the game with Mckinley High
School last Friday. as they we're not
pushsd by the South Sid players. the con-
aveuu boys.
What the red and black team can DO viii
probably be known Tuesday, when they
meet the Christian Brothers College team.
This game was arranged Immediately after
the central-McKinley game.
On three or more occasions In Frfday's
game the Mckinley line would be broken
and the player with the ball would dash
through and score On two occasions runs
were made from tho thirty-yard line Of
the opposite goal.
Although the Mckinley team hAd severnl
big players in Uniform they could do lit
tie against the other side. It wac a case
of speed against weight and the former
Won.
This is rot saying that the Central team
was outweighed. The Grand avenue boys
averaged more than their old schoolmates,
but there were several players on the Nc
Kiniey team who were opposed to smaller
players on the opposite side, but the bet
ter training on the part of the Central
boys told and they had little difficulty IN
defeating the South siders.
Krutsch, the full back and captain Of the
Mckinley team, was tho star player Of
that eleven and he worked lik, a demon.
He seemed to be the only member of the
team that was not afraid to tackle and
went in the fray without fear.
His kicking was good and when he

meant to drop the ball near the Eve or
ten yard line OF the ~opponet's goal. The
other players caught the bali and brought
It back TO dangerous territory and
hrutsoh's star playing counted for naught.
He WA a member Of the High School
team before Joining the other school and
probably has more knowledge of the game
than eny of the other players, but credit
Is to be given him for the game that he

and the game promises to be an exciting

they have it on them when it comes TO

win.
