FOOT BALL NOTES


The work of Eastern in the contest with
Technical on Friday surprised many who
believed that Technical would win fryn the
boys of Capitol Hill by large score. After
the first few downs it could plainly be seen
that Eastern was going to be more of a
factor in the contest than many had sup
posed. Field demonstrated that he is one
of the best halfhacks in the high schools.
Technicals line Gid not nave any fears for
him, and he asssiled 1T with doubled fierce
ness and with dash that was well nigh
irresistible. Farmer showed good speed in
his end runs some of which were spectac-
ular.
The game between the University of Ken
lucky and Northwestern University. which
took place at Evanston last Saturday. has
caused the eastern critics to do some talk
ing During the last few years the White
and Red of old Kentucky has come steadily
to the front, and this year the varsity
team of the old blue grass college has a
team of ability To play a team of the
caliber of Northwestern to a standstll is
quite feat. When Coach Stage of Chi
cago University saw the result of the game
he wondered what kind of time the Ma
rooms were going to have when they tackle
Northwestern. The famous Alonzo A. has
been in foot ball too long to underestimate
the ability of Kentucky, and he Immediate
ly went to wor!l-to improve the Maroons in
several plays which Northwestern seemed
to be lacking in ability to stop as evidenced
In the game with Kentucky.
1t is said that the plans which are being
made by several persons in the east to have
the Army and Navy foot ball game played
in this city each year are progressing. The
plan to erect large grand stand upon the
White Lot which would accommodate 5000
people would be giant stride toward max

field In this city is the logical place to have
the game, where it could be attended to 8.
greater extent by the representatives of the
government, the President and the differ
ent officials of the War and Navy Depart
ments AS the matter looks at the present
there is chance to have the game played
in this city next fall Many foot ball low
ers of the city will hope that the plans OF
the promoters are finally crowned with sue

The high school game between Central
and Western will occur on the American
League Park field on Tuesday, and should
prove one of the best games which have
been played this year. The school spiri.
which runs high al both of the schools will
certainly contribute its part toward making
the game one of the fastest of the season
This will be the hardest game that the
Blue and White of Central has had to play
this season. as Western is about as heavy
and every bit as fast. On form Western
seems to look somewhat the best but 1t
will take after several of the downs of the
game have been made to tell which side
may have the advantage. The contest will
doubtless attract one OF the largest crowds
of the season. CentraPs ends in this game
Will not be as strong as they were in the
Eastern game when Yoder seemed to stop
the end runs of the Baby Blue and White
with ease before he had his ankle injured
and had to retire from the contest
Thiele OF Technical Is one OF the best
quarterbacks In the high schools, and when
he suppianted Crook In Teehnieaps iire-up
Friday many thought that he would not be
able to put up the contest that Crook has
done. But though Crook Is considerably
heavier than Thiefe. he will have to race
for his laurels. and, as both of the quarters
are OF the style that makes good In foot
