High-school interest is focused on Central and
everyone is asking If Central itself
and, in the final game with North Side, admin
lister singing defeat and wrest the laurels
from the SO far undefeated team The basis of
the question lies in the fine form shown in the
game against East high at certain stages when
the machinery worked together and the carefully
planned plays were not forgotten. When the
Central team meets North high in three weeks,
they will be veterans, and the greenness ought
to be past quality. The weak spots shown up
will be the center of the coaching in the next
three weeks, and the mention that all the Cen
trail alumni will be out in force is unneces-
sary
North will not be caught mapping and at the
same time, they do not express any strong fears
of losing the championship. Their game with
Hamline shows that they are coming, and that
their defense be relied upon at critical
times Their defeat of Hamline, which stands
second in the intercollegiate league, and the de-
feat of st. Thomas early in the season would
prove their right to the lnterhigh-colegiate cham
pionship, If there was such an organization be-
tween the colleges and the high schools.
As an aftermath of the East-Central game, the
boys all talking Of the ruling made after
Frykman had made his fair catch, by which the
Central players were allowed to line IN within
five yards. The kick easily blocked The
rules distinctly state that the teams should line
up ten yards apart. Fortunately, the outcome
of the game did not depend on the kick, and the
discussion of the rules was merely friendly de-
sire to know what right.
One of the striking features of the North
high Hamline game was the kicking Of Marks
who got his punts off with remarkable speed.
| and in two instances got the ball over the op-
posing teams last North's speedy ends
were down the field like shot, and in most
cases dropped the man in his tracks. 1t was
the best kicking of the year for the North team.

first down it would have been good gamer.
