DEEP POSER FOR

After the East Side Central game of
Friday the man who will hazard a
guess on the final outcome OF the high
school football season deserves Car
negie medal. From the very. start the
dopesters, including those from the red
and blue camp, have been placing East
above Central. Their smoke-visions
have gone the way of all dreams and
their illusions have been carelessly
trampled under foot by the cleated
aoofs of Chief Farnam's braves.
AS things stand at present Central
and South have teams which have re-
NAMED practically intact since the
opening Of the scholastic season. North
has been slightly jolted and East is
shot up beyond recognition. Of the
four teams North and South are most
feared by their rivals. North because
Of the prestige won for the blue and
white by last years championship team
and South because no one knows what
Coach Goldblum S pupils are like. Cen
trail and East have been in the hmeEght
enough to give material for thirty
three guesses as to their strength
and the thirty-fourth will be the right
one.
Since, the loss of Dickinson, Stair,
Corcoran and Semple thru the anti
fraternity rule Central has not had
enough hard luck to furnish material
for even one wolf story. Since the
alumni game on Sept. 20 Coach Morse
has been able to play the same lineup
nothing to indicate that the red and
blue team will not finish the season
intact.

Only One Real Test.
The only one of the four games
played which is of any value as giving
line on the strength of the Central
team is the East Side. game: In the

merely a question of how small the
score against them would be. Neither
the alumni nor the St. Cloud games
can be taken seriously for purposes OF
comparison, for in one case the oppos
ing team was totally unframed anc
IN the other there is no means OF
knowing the real strength of the de-
-feated aggregation.
AS to the East Side game it can be
said that the red and blue men playec

and training. They carried the bal
