selves. 1t remains to be seen if
they will be able to hold Central,
FOR Central can hold them.
Central is the best defensive team in
the series: there is no denying that. The
same team which defeated Tech last
week will take the field to-day. with
| Oberlin still in the backfield.
| Several changes have been made in the
Business lineup. King will more than
likely play a guard. while Derrick may
be shifted to full with Seltman in a half
The balance Of the team will most likely
remain the same.
Greer Easterns center. played one of
the best games OF the year Tuesday
| against Western. Greer is played in a
! tackle position on the defense, and he
broke up more than one well-aimed
Western play. He is tower of strength
| on the defense. and can hold his own
| with any center in the high schools on
the offense. When It comes to picking
the aIl-hIgh center. Greer will come in
| for a lot Of consideration.
Another Eastern lad who has played
sterling football during the present series

has proven a wonderful defensive man,
and has also handled forward passes
well. Fisher is to-day the best end in
the scholastic ranks, bar none. and this
will be proven before the series is
| finished.
Football fans are promised two good
games Sunday. when the Mercurys tackle
| -
dence Park and the VigiIants meet the
Reina Mercedes eleven in a return game

and that this battle will eliminate one
of the clubs insures a real fight.
| The Reina Mercedes eleven will come
over from Annapolis confident OF victory,
I and will have two II not three former
| Navy stars in the lineup. Weems, the
second choice AII-American center last
year. will play again. while Dalton and
Shaw may get in the game If the Vigil
lants get a jump on the tackles. This
game will no doubt be one OF the best
ever staged in the District, and will be
started promptly at ; O'Clock.
| Manager Pete Lynch. Of the AIl-star
Scholastic eleven. which is being organ
lied, would like to hear from several
| former high school stars at once. This

the teacher refused to piss him. That
Eastern was able to roll up 30 points was
due. in part. to the absence Of Howard.

fight with its leader in the game than
without him.
There is no denying the fact that East
ern has a mighty sweet little football
team. Coach McCaffrey has the bunch
fighting all the time. and he has taught
them some neat plays. He has developed
Greer into one of the best forwards in
the series, while Fisher has played
wonderful game under Mac"
Cohill and Smith are stars Of the first
