PREPS CLAIM CHAMPIONSHIP.
Central High school Team Fails tC
show Up for Game.

What was scheduled to be a very i'm
p"rtant game in deciding the scholastic
championship of the District of Column
bia failed to come off yesterday after
noon on the Georgetown varsity field.
The props and the Central High School
winners Of the high school series. were
10 fight ii out for supremacy, but at the
last moment the Blue and Gray young
sters received notice that the downtown
men could not play. The reason given
was the slimest kind Of an excuse. and.
moreover, the manager Of the Blue and
White team seemed 10 be acting without
the knowledge and consent of either
Coach Sprigman or the athletic adviser.
The embryOs were more than disap-
pointed at the nonappesrance OF the VS.
itors, ana were On the field waiting for
the contest 10 take place. The incident
VIII surely not add to the good name OF
Central and Will certainly make a
breach between the friendly relations
which have existed between the two
schools for some time past. Whether an
other game can be scheduled at this late
date is hardly probable and unless Cen
trail can defend its actions Of yesterday
the Georgetown props certainly have a
strong and fair claim on the scholastic
championship OF the district.
