The Washington herald., 1911-11-25

The postponement of the Business
Western game yesterday was big dis
appointment to the Business eleven, as
the Stenographers are noted mud
horses" and the wet going suited them
to IT The only victory on the
Orange and Blue list was made in
driving rain against the Cathedral
School team.
It is more than likely the game will
be played next Wednesday, if the Bust-
ness management has its way, as the
Stenographers are fit to put up their
best game, and any delay will make
them somewhat stale. Wastern will
welcome any delay. as il will give the
Red and White aggregation time to get
some practice in the new formations, as
they have been shifted in the past week.
Young Harris. playing an end on the
Business eleven. has been putting up
mighty good game, and gives promise OF
making one of the best men on the point
position next year in the scholastic
! ranks Harris is fast, tackles hard. and,
best of all. keeps his head. AS quarter
back Harris is not so bad, and can NIL
' in very well.
McArdle will be seen in quarter back
on the Western team when the lads from
across the creek face the Stenographers
next week From the reports Of Macs
work in practice, he is the best man who
| has handled the team this season, and
will bolster up what was a weak posi-
| ton. Capt. Kreantzlin will be back in
! his old position IN center, and should help
| his eleven in more than one way, al
though in displacinG Fredericks, ne Is
putting mighty good man out of the
game. Fredericks plays hard, and his
heart is in the game. Western will have
Stone. the hard-tackling end, in half back
| in place of McArdle, and should he put
up the game behind the line that he does
! in the line.
Walter Parker, the great little general
| who piloted the crack Eastern High team
last year. will play quarter back on the
Au-Star scholastic eleven that will face
the Vigilants Thanksgiving morning. This
team will be composed Of some of the
best PLAYERS who ever played in high
, school game. and that the Nigilants viii
! have to go some to trim the high school
boys is a foregone conclusion.
That the game Tuesday between Cen
trail and Technical is going to be one
of the best high school football battles
ever witnessed in the Capital. is the
ers are picked by the experts to land
the long end OF the score. There are
several OF the best coaches in Washing
ton helping Coach Thomas with the Cen
trail aggregation. and the team is show
ing more fight than at any other time
this season. Van Dyne Is blowing through
the scrubs line for long gains every day
while Fritz Reuter- is again the dashinG
half back as of old. With Hamilton
| Reuter- and Van Dyne going right the
| BIacksmiths will have to play better foot
ball than they put up in the last game
to whip the wearers OF the Blue and
White.
There is a letter at this office addressed
to the manager of Thomson School foot
ball team from the Idlewild Klub of Bal
timore Same can he had by calling al
the sporting department tonight.
Gallaudet plays the Maryland Aggie!
this afternoon in what promises to be g
battle royal and that the winning team
will have to play football all the way
through is a sure bet. The Buff and BLU
Aggregation will be somewhat crippled by
the loss of it's two star ends, but at tina
Coach Harris IS confident of landing tn
big end of the figures.
! Thanksgiving will not see the finish o
independent football in Washington, a.
the Vigilants are bookig games up t
Christmas. and some good teams are oil
the schedule. The Engineers will appea
at Capital City Park some time in tn
near future. and this game Will be wei
worth watching although the Vigilant
have the backing of the majority OF tn
: rooters at the present time, due to tn
