WESTERN.
BY n. c. BYRD.

| A game that is likely to have a great
deal of effect on the high school cham
pionship this year will be played tomor-
row on Georgetown Field. when Technical
High and Western meet. The contest,
while the championship of the schools
does not hinge Immediately on 1t. will
give Western its last chance to stay in
the running and also give a very definite
idea as to Just what chance Tech has to
win from Central.
Whether or not Western has a chance to
beat Tech is a question that will not be
answered until after the game is played.
The Red and White has been touted very
highly since the contest in which 1t ex-
ceeded expectations and held Central from
it's goal line until two minutes before the
end 1t is certain that Western is expect
ed to show improvement in the game TO-
morrow over what 1t did when 1t FACED
the Blue and White in the first meeting
of the season. 1t Is questionable II the
Red and White eleven will show the SUI
periority over its previous exhibition that
is generally expected. because there mas
new style Of play. Western was COM
PEELED to play a hard game In Baltimore
Saturday because of the poor adJustment
of it's schedule, and that is bound to de-
tract 1IOm TIC thoS ~ AiioiAe ON~
wise have shown.
Tech will be better team tomorrow
than It has been at any time this year.
With two or three new men IN tne
game who are calculated to do good work,
both on the Offense and defense, the
Manual Trainers should present bet
ter eleven in every department., and
they will. Norris, who has been mace
eligible to play, and will add greatly 10
the offensive work OF the team, mas
- ito nd n
ability as halfback goes, and the fact
that he will be in the game against
western should materially affect the
scoring power of the Tech eleven.
At that, whether or not western has
a chance to win from their heavy OPP
ponents, 1t is certain that Tech Will
have to work harder and do a lot bet
ter work than 1t did against Eastern
to roll up the score that 1t secured In
its game with the Capitol Hill lads.
II Tech wins tomorrow it will be conced-
ed at least an even chance to trim Cen
trail. II 1t loses tomorrow there Will De
few to doubt that the high school
championship this year will go to the
O street school. II Western should
win tomorrow's game and the Tech
team should show reversal or FORM
and beat Central. a tie for first place
result, and it would not be at all likely
that either Bushes or Eastern could
upset the dope under such conditions.
The first championship game of the
year will be played this week. Harvard
| and Princeton will meet In the first big
bin Of the season. Nearly three times as
many victories have been secured by the
Tigers as by Harvard, and an extra eff
| fort will be put forth by the Crimson to
| land in the front this time. On COM
parison OF the two elevens gained by the
games played SO far this season. 1t would
seem that Harvard will start the game q
little the favorite. II the field happens to
be in poor condition and is soggy and
slow It will WORKS against Princeton to
such an extent that the odds would
greatly favor Harvard. where II the field
is fast Princeton will be a dangerous one,
liable to upset all calculations In fast
contest.
Local teams are booked for hard games
this week, and any of them. II 1t secures
a victory, may consider itself extremely
| fortunate Georgetown will go to West
Point to meet the Army. and If 1t can
