THREE BIG GAMES
BY HIGH TEAMS
Rooters Will Have Hard Work
to Select Places
to Go.

Tomorrow will see the followers of high-school
football as Instructed as small boy at three
ringed circus. With three simultaneous exhi.
bitions of piglkin prowess in full swing, the
rooter who is watching the game for its
sake, and Is not partizan on any particular
school, Will have hard time in deciding where
to go.
At Minnehaha park East and South will play
the second game in the city championship series.
Victory means much to both schools. To South
1t means the right to play Central for the
championship. To East the only chance of keep
ing away from the bottom of the list. The
game will be called at 2:30 pm.
The North Side team will make its first, and
perhaps Its last. appearance in full strength at
North Side field. Every of the four men
barred by the board of appeals Will be in his
regular place in the lineup, and Captain Jack
Peter team, which will line up against Coach
Nye's bunch, holds the championship Of SOUTH
ern Minnesota, and is said to be of the
| strongest teams in the state. The game will
begin at 2:30 pm.
Inter-city Play.
With the championship of the twin cities in
volved If not at stake. Minneapolis and st.
Paul Central highs will mix up at Nicollet
park While neither team yet claims the cham
pionship Of the city it represents, the score in
| this game will form the basis for all COMPARE
| sons between the high-school teams Of the two
cities. St. Paul has very strong team, and
Central is not looking forward to easy con-
| test. The game will be called at pm.
Yesterday afternoon East and Central met in
a practice game at Nicollet park. The ball
| did not change hands downs, but remained
| with one team until 1t had been carried down
the field for a touchdown. 1t then went to the
| team which had been on the defensive and the
grind down the field was resumed. No official
count was kept of the touchdowns made, and
the sideliners vary in their statements that
1t Is impossible to say which team had the best
of 1t. One thing Is certain, however, and that
| Is that East Side in much better condition
| fhop ryhen met two
Captain Runnen Of East back in his old
| place at full apparently none the worse for
his period Of enforced rest. Barnard played
! left end in place Of Rollins, who has been
knocked out on a bard of appeals decision.
Morris Sherbloom WATCHED the scrimmage from
the side lines, but Coach Wyman evidently
thought it best not to risk his newly-knit collar
bone In scrimmage.
Slow to Arrive.
The Central team arrived on the field by in
stallments. Shave and Schroeder did not show
up at all. Parker went In at right guard for
Shave and played good game. His defensive
work particularly noticeable. When the
scrimmage began Bresky, Saxton and Carpenter
were also among those not present and East
finally got there Central made a better showing.
The day was raw and the field covered with
snow and frozen slush. The players suffered
considerably with the cold and from contact
: with the rough surface of the field. Gloves and
mittens were much in evidence and co-operated
with the ice on the ball to produce than
the normal amount of fumbing.
Both teams showed marked improvement In
form. Their team work was more precise and
! the men showed more individual skill than they
did in the formal contest. There was no scrim
| mage at North Side field yesterday. Coach Nyt
ran his thru the regular combination Of
formations and snow, but gave them no rough
house work, despite the fact that it the
. . last day when such thing would be possible
! Lineups Not, Given Out.
The lineup for tomorrow'x game has not ye
been given out The coaches are probably
waiting to see In what condition Marks will be
They have, however, announced their intention
of picking the team from the squad without
regard for the rulings of the board of appeals
| Yesterday was an anxious time for the South
Side team and coach. The orange and black
team has drilled faithfully thru the season, bu
is sadly lacking in practical experience. Fri
days game means much to the Southtown root
ers, and they are an1iously waiting for tht
0 opportunity to see their men in play agains
a regular team.

and alumni. With the exception of center tn
