EASTERN WESTERN
Important High SCHOOL, Game
This Week.
WILL LIKELY PLAY FRIDAY
Contest Originally Scheduled for
Tuesday, but VIII Have TO Take
Horse ShOw-CapItoI Hill Team
Has a Chance to Win.

There will,be one high school football
game this week which is attracting all
kinds of attention. 1t is scheduled for
Tuesday between Eastern and Western.
For the first time in years the Capitol
Hill school team has chance TO win.
as Coach DOnnelly's charges gave Cen
trail a battle royal last week. and are
pronounced by experts 10 be the best
Eastern team in years.
This game viii probably be played Fri
day. as American League Park has been
engaged for the big Washington Horse
Show Tuesday and Wednesay. The
matter viii be definitely settled when the
high school athletic advisers meet this
afternoon.
1t was stated last night that an effort
would be made TO obtain Georgetown
Field for next Tuesday, and If this failed,
Union League Park but there is much
objection TO such an arrangement First.
the playing OF the game az Georgetown
provided the college authorities agree "a
allow the use OF the field, would mean
a loss or considerable money, as the at
tendance would be small Pupils at the
high schools located in the center OF
the city and at Eastern object TO the
extra car fares; secondly, the George
town varsity has an important game
next Saturday. and Coach Nelson would
probably refuse 10 allow his charges 10
cut practice on that day.
As for Union League Park. the field is
in a miserable condition. Broken glass
stones. and tin cans cover the playing
surface, while the weeds and grass are
two feet high in one section. This field
is simply out of the question.
American League Park is the only
logical place for such an important game
and both Eastern and Western want "a
play there. as much as the other schools
want 10 have them
The Business-CentTal game, booked for
Friday, viii be showed ahead 10 Tuesday
week, as there is plenty OF time FOR the
completion of the interhigh series before
real cold weather sets in.
Centrals showing against Episcopal
High az Alexandria last Saturday places
the Blue and White as favorites for
scholastic honors, as the best BuGness
and Technical could do this year was to
tie the AleXandrians.

times. and We're answered in many ways

mind that ne had found solution that
