LINEUP OF TEAMS.
BY WILLIAM PEET.

Providing the field at National Park is
dry this afternoon, followers of High
School football are going 10 see one of
the best games IN the history of the sport,
with Central and Tech the opposing
teams
Central enters the game a to favor
ite by virtue of their fine showing thus
far this season, but will meet in Tech one
of the best-drilled teams that ever wore
moleskins, and when the first half is over
the odds may be even.
For the first time in years Central will
outweigh the BIseksmiths and this alone
may help bring home the bacon. On the
other hand. Tech will be in Just as good
physical shape as Central and two play
eFs will be in the game who have hereto
fore kept in the background. They are
SINCLAIR and Tew. the latter recognized
az the best punter in the high schools
to-day
Previous games this fall show the o
streeters 10 be at least % per cent strong
er than Tech. For instance. the Black
smiths were able TO beat Business only 6
10 @. while Central trimmed this team II
10 O. and Central also smothered EpiscO-
pal High, while the best Tech could do
was to tie the Alexandria boys. II to II.
Central also has a victory over Gallaudet
10 its credit while the Kendall Green
eleven swamped the Maehinists 80 10 0.
Tech has played but one high school
game and very few practice matches this
season, while Central has beaten both
Eastern and Business in the interhigh
series, and has gone through almost
twice as many practice matches as the
Blacksmiths, and this experience. should
count for a whole lot.
But the ardent Central rooters should
not overlook few points which bear di-
rectly on the outcome Of this battle.
First of all, Tech has in Clarence W.
Heeox the best high school coach in
Washington. and Mr.. Hecox has not been
asleep during the past two weeks.
Here's a tip for those who are think
ing of placing a small bet on the out
come of the game. II Central can get
around Techs ends, the o Streeters will
win. but if Central does skirt Techs ends
they will have done something no pre-
yious high school team has been able to
accomplish.
Capt Hamilton and Reuter-, together
with Kelley and King. are the men on
whom Central bases il hopes. If Tech
can stop these worthless Central is done
for, and Coach Hecox has been working
overtime coaching his men 10 check this
fast quartet. Central's plays are well
known, and the O-streeters will find a
sitter defense than was experienced when
Eastern and Business were playing.
The postponing of this game from Tues
day 10 to-day helped Tech wonderfully,
as Capt Tew and Norris were suffering
from slightly bruised shoulders. Both re-
ported for practice last night, and de-
clared that they were in perfect shape.
No matter at which angle you look at
it. the game to-day gives promise OF be-
ing one of tie hardest fought and most

BUD MARS FLIES
DESPITE The WIND
RacegOersSee Aviator Ascend
at Norfolk Track.

Norfolk. Va. Nov. 1O-The announce
ment that Bud Mars was to fly in his aero
plane proved to be great attraction at
the track to-day, and over 1900 people
made the trip to the course. The wind pre-
vented him from going up until after the
fifth race, and then. after a short dis
lance had been covered. he came down
again. After the closing race, Mars made
his second trip, and. after going up sew
eral hundred feet. circled the track at
great speed for about ten minutes. The
crowd applauded him loudly when he
came down TO earth.
The racing was very interesting with
the exception OF the hurdle race. which
was little better than farce. At the first
jump Francis Joseph unseated his rider,
and at the second BeFgoo swerved and fell,
which caused Essex, Prince, Shove, and
Expansionist TO fall en- him. After run
ming around the field for several moments
the horses were remounted by their rid
ers with the exception Of Essex, as his
rider, Henderson, had broken his collar
bone. After the hardest kind OF q drive,
Expansionist beat Prince by a head.
