When Eastern and Business line up to-
day at American League Park, at $50,
followers OF the gridiron sport in the high
schools viii witness a battle royal, for
the result will decide which team is TO
get the cellar hOnOrs in the Interhigh
School League. as the eleven represent
ing Western mas disbanded for the season.
Eastern is claiming an easy victory over
its heavier opponents. Willie Business is
not saying much, but is content to wait
until the whistle is blown, which viii
send the two teams into battle.
Eastern is banking It's hopes upon the
line bucl1ing and end running OF Parker
and Weaver. while Business is confident
that Rathbone. their fast little captain.

two Eastern stars.
Since their game with Central. Business
has improved wonderfully under the
coaching OF White, the crack end of
George Washington. and will surprise the
wise ones with the speed and team work
they viii present.
Eastern, on the other hand, has been
hard at work under Coach DOnnelly.

formations, as the light Capitol Hill boys
viii depend largely upon this style Of
play rather than the old line plunging
game to defeat their heavy rivals from
the Rhode Island avenue school.
Last year Business administered 10
Eastern one of the worst defeats In the
history OF the two schools. and 1t stands
to reason that Donnelly's charges will do
everything in their power TO wipe away
this defeat, while Business can be de-
pended upon to uphold the honor OF the
Orange and Blue.

race, for he made nine changes. to three
for the Lozier. though the tire crew
bungled the job on two changes long
enough TO lose the race.
Stoddard, In a Fiat go, rolled down
thirty-foot embankment when his steer

mechanician- were hurt. Church, In

same trick with the same results.
Joe MatsOn, In q Simplex, finished third;

over a minute. He ran consistently all
the way but only Burman's tire trouble

the LOZier, and the McFarlan were the
only cars in the race that had no me-
chanieal trouble of any nature. and the
latter had no trouble whatsoever.

the Blue and Gray founded most of its
hopes Of bringing victory to the hilltop.
That the locals will be greatly weakened
goes without saying.
One bright feature Of the practice yes
