Looking back over the scores in prac-
tice and championship games in which
the local high schools have participated
this season, a rather close line can be
drawn on the possible winner of the
series which commenced Friday. Gen.
trail, which has not been scored against
bv any team this year, of course looms
up. brightest in the race for the high
school title. Judging from the heavy
scores the o street squad has rolled up
against it's opponents. 1t seems that the
other elevens have no chance whatever
against the heavy Blue and White team.
But, as was demonstrated in Friday q
game with Western, weight is of no
value without proper head work. west
ern, with a much lighter team than
Central, succeeded in keeping the game
to no score until within five minutes OF
the close of the game.
Technical. which Is much of the same
weight as Central, has squad of men
that Is capable of much brain work. and
when these two elevens get together
Central will have to think quicker than
it did Friday. White and Heine. the
Maroon and Gray tackles, are as heavy
as any man on the o street squad, with
IT, possible exception of King. Knight

Frequent violation of rules which
cost heavy penalties was largely re-
sponsible for the to tie played by
the Cathedral School and Technica
High. The Blacksmiths played far the
better game and invaded Cathedral
territory for touchdown in the first
period The ball was fumbled wher
Heine attempted to punt, and forfeited
it's chance at the goal. In the third
quarter Cathedral evened the score
when Cleyborn captured Eckendorfs
boot and ran eighty yards for a
touchdown. McLemore missed the
goal. Eckendorf made another touch
down in the final period, but a penalty
was indicted which offset Techs lead

Western will be prominent con-

or three schools. The West End schoo
