Against the Gopher
Juniors.
Bv Gil


North high has finally decided to accept the
offer made by the university management and
will play the university freshmen at Northrop
field Friday at 4 Pm. Manager Turnstrand
of East high completed arrangements today for
a game with the Mechanic Arts of st. Paul to be
played at Miunehaha park Friday at 3 pm.
Central and South highs will play at Nicollet
park at 2:30 PIN. on the same day. This will
make a crowded day in high-schooI football
1t is hard to say which of these three games
is the most import tant.. The Central-South game
is the only of the three which will have
any bearing the city championship. Should
the unexpected happen and South win out, the
game will put few crimps in the dope. Such
"a thing is not expected In either camp. South's
tory nor do the most gloomy rooters at Cen
trai fear defeat. 1t is entirely a question OF
score.
South Will Fight.
South is, of course, anxious to hold the score
down. Central, the other hand, wants to
boost the top off things. With no great chance
for game with North, the only way to ar
rive at the comparative strength Of North and
Central will be thru comparison of scores In
the South Superior, North Superior and Central
South games. This is poor way of getting at
the relative strength, but 1t seems to be the
of better they sharpening their pencils
and preparing to do some figuring.
South is pounding along at practice. The line,
which proved to be the weakest part of the
team in the East Side game, is receiving the
greater part of Coach Goldbrum's attention.
South has a fair backfeld, but, from all ac-
counts of the East Side game, 1t would seem
that the line fell down hard. Unless the line
can sttfen enough to give the backheld a
chance to get started, South will have little
chance to hold the score down, for, with the
heavy blue and red team against it, the onens-
i've is the only defense upon which the orange
and black can rely.
"Smoky'' Dope.
Coach Wyman is continuing his twilight Sc

phere which hovers the field all the play
ers look alike except that the Sherbloom boys
! are a little taller than the rest of the squad
and Coach Wymsn wears hat. The rest is q

Opaque mixture of the ''shades of evening" and
soft-coal smoke. Occasionally the gas plant on
the, further bank of the river flames up and
throws a weird light over the team, but fol
the most part everything is dark
Central plays practice game with the Doug
las school team today The boys from ths
grammar school have been playing as an inde
pendent team thru the season and have goot
record in their class. Tho they are consider
ably lighter than the Central team, they shoulC
give Coach Morse's stiff scrimmage
Lewis, the center of the Douglas team, has beeI
practicing with the Central second team al
the fall, and more than once has given Captain
Farnam all he wanted in the way of practice.
North is not doing anything of note on th
practice field, but is keeping up the stead.
grind which has marked its work thru the sea
son. The freshman game Of next Friday will
be good ry-out for the blue and white war
riors. The outcome is very much in doubt, AM
people chary Of their forecasts.
