that they have had to play as long as has
been the case
1t is peculiar fact that Western S
season has been the longest d any OF the
schools. Besides having to meet the two
best teams in the series in its first two
games with practically a green squad,
it has been put Il. the necessity of play
ing a longer schedule than either of the
other schools. It opened the scolasti1
season with Central and will close i:
tomorrow with Business. the length OF
time that the players have had to keep

failure in tomorrow's game Is concerned.
That Business is SO anxious to play the
game with Western is certain Indication
that it feels it has a mighty good chance
to win from the Red and White.
Western will start the game tomorrow
with Business with different line up from
any that it has used this season, and the
team is probably little stronger in one
of the contests -,ayed SO far this year.

1t will be recalled that the contest last

scheduled between Carlisle and Brown.
Brown won the contest last year. but 1t
Is not probable that it will be able to du-
plicate the feat, as the Carlisle eleven
this year is far stronger than the one Of
last season.
