HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC NOTES.

Coach Tom Kirby. at Central. is teach
ing the o street boys more football than
they ever knew In their lives before Gen.
trail and Tech clash in the first game Of
the formers schedule.
Those promising young athletes who
counted on playing football after the first
quarter marks had been sent in will do
lot of thinking now. The athletic ad-
visors have voted that advisory marks
will not be allowed TO count. Hard luck
Tech and George Washington lined up
for a short practice game at National
Park Wednesday afternoon. The school
boys were not only able TO hold their
own, but raised havoc with the Hatchet-
ties line. The final score was 0 to O.
You've got to hand II to little Mickey
Guy, captain OF Western. The plucky
quarter back is the life OF the whole
team. Western opens the season against
Business next Friday. and expects TO
have an easy time beating the Stenogra-
piers.
Western High. and also Eastern. is US
ing the forward pass and onside kick TO
good advantage. The open style of foot
ball will help a light snappy team won
derfully. and as the Red and White
youngsters seem to have the new code
down pat. few upsets may be expected
during the approaching series.
An afternoon paper says that Business
surprised everybody by the fine showing
against the Maryland Agricultural Col
lege Reserves Wednesday afternoon. II
the football expert responsible for this
statement had been on the side lines and
seen the team the Stenographers We're up
against he would not have handed out

SHAKE.UP FOR PREPS.
Georgetown Youngsters 10 Make
Many Shifts I'm Lineup.

01DA - AV0hkaAEEa ~
Many Shifts I'm Lineup.
In consequence Of the poor showing
Of the Georgetown prep eleven in their
game against Western High last Tues
day, the team will undergo a complete
shake-up during the next few days.
There is a wealth of promising ma
terial on hand, and the team is composed
OF some individual stars, but for some
reason the Hilltop lads have not been
able TO get going, and their playing up
to date has been a sore disappointment to
their followers. Realizing that a radical
change is necessary the men will be
shifted in their positions Hawkins. at
center. will go to full, Helskell and Mas
will remain at guards, but Miller will
be shifted from full TO tackle, while
Capt. KERN win play the other tackle,
Connolly at right end, and Bergin
and Mclaughlin at left end Milburn
and Dahill will still play the quar-
ter back position. In the back field.
Wal6ron, brother of the varsity
full back. Will go in at right half, instead
of Leonard. who may be sent in at CEN
ter. Golden is a fast man at left half
and WIFI be retained there.
Next Wednesday the Props play the De-
partment OF Agriculture eleven, and this
experiment will be given its initial test.

The men are all in good condition and
expect to run up a good score against the

The threatened action by high school
principals in voting to reduce the weights
Of certain football teams in the Inter
scholastic League did not materialize
at a meeting of the heads Of the FIVE Dis
trict schools yesterday afternoon, and
after several hours OF lengthy discus
sion it was voted TO drop the matter for
this season.
The Washington Herald last Monday
stated exclusively that two Of the smaller
high schools insisted upon what they con-
sidered an equalization of weights for
the football elevens claiming that Tech
nical and Central had such a tremendous
advantage in beef that II was unfair TO
them during the games scheduled this
fall. and that the principals would de-
maad some such action as this: mo high
school team shall outweigh another more
than fifteen pounds in the aggregate"
Tech Hardest HIT.
Tech, with its big. husky bunch, the
logical championship winner. and posi-
bly, Central. would be forced TO put in
substitutes against Eastern and Western
If this rule were passed oy a majority
vote.
II was known that Eastern and west
ern proposed to do all In their power
10 carry the measure. Central and Tech
were opposed. and Business undecided
which way 10 turn. The principals
meeting yesterday was a lengthy one,
and as II leaked out that no action
81, sorf,~
this year. IL IS natural 10 suppose that
Business voted against the measure,
casting sides with Central and Tech.
Whether any action will be taken next
year depends entirely on the outcome OF
the present season. II Eastern and
Western are able TO weather the gale and
stand off the heavier teams without
serious injury 20 players. ii is a safe bet
that nothing more viii be heard Of the
uniform weight rule, but If some young
ster is badly beaten up and tucked away
in a hospital for several weeks, there
is no telling what may happen
Advisory Marks Do Not Count.
An important meeting OF the athletic
directors Of the five high schools was
held Wednesday afternoon at which time
it was voted not V adopt a suggestion
OF several of the principals whereby
advisory marks at the end Of each quar-
ter would entitle a boy 10 play on one
Of the athletic teams representing the
school This means that any pupil in the
high schools with fiunks opposite hiF
name IN one or more studies must pass
them of by examination, or he is elini-
mated from football, baseball. track, and

Washington is probably just as much
interested IN the world championship
baseball games as other American cities,
but from the talk around town, the in
tense interest manifested everywhere you
go, the crowds in front OF newspaper
Offices watching the bulletins. 1t would
seem that the National Capital had
something on all the others in the matter
of enthusiasm.
And the talk-foolish talk, some Of it
but everywhere you go it's, Who do you
think will VIM" II knew the Tigers
could do e." &C. Betting on the out
come also is lively. Hundreds of Wash
ingtonians have wagered everything from
a cigar 10 large wads OF real money.
The howl has gone UP that the series
has been fixed. The dyspeptics Who
doubt the honesty of baseball are out
with the annual howl that the world
series is not being played honestly.
They claim the alternating victories are
framed up to draw more money from a

New York. Oct IA report reached
here to-day that If it should DO impossible
to allow the side wagers of $4,000 to
stand on the result Of Saturdays fight at
Colna. Johnson might refuse to meet
Ketchell after all The rumor came from
California, but II must have originated
without official Endorsement, inasmuch as
the $4,000 posted by the men. now in the
hands of Promoter Coffroth, is for
forfeitures as we'll as side bets. II
the Frisco audience should prevent the
men from making this wager on
the side, 1t was said to-day that Johnson
and Ketcheu could not refuse to fight
without FORGETTING the entire amount TO
Coffroth. who protected himself in this
way when the articles OF agreement were
signed. Coffroth was clever at that time
to gather 5000 from each pugilist. and
consequently he holds the winning cards.
Law May step In
The antl-betting law which went into
effect In California last April was aimed
at the race tracks The reformers have
since called attention to the fact that the
law prohibits betting on glove fights and
all other sporting events. The authorities
have been asked to stop betting on the
| big fight, but so far they have taken no
steps.
! It is said. however that Willis Britt,
/ KetchelPs manager. is anxious to have
/ the side bet called off simply because

to suit the occasion.
Johnson declares meanwhile that Britt
/ and Ketchell are anxious To crawl out
/ OF the fight at the last moment and say

scheme The controversy may be the re-
suit of press work, for there is increased
excitement over the fight, and the sale
Of reserved seats is booming.

Fred Pspke has helped to increase the
