FRANK BLOOM HELPS
 COACH HIGH SCHOOL FORMER GEORGETOWN PLAYER WORKING WITH BOYS PRE- PARATORY TO LITTLE
 ROCK GAME. Local Team In Good Shape and Large Attendance Expected At Grid
 iron Battle Saturday.

The appearance of Frank Bloom, former member of the Georgetown University football team and a star of the local high school of past years, on the practice ground at the school yesterday was the signal for some of the fastest scrimmage and practice work yet indulged in outside of a game. Bloom will assist Coach Bas- sett in rounding the team into shape for the game Saturday with the Lit tie eek H'gh School team, the biggest contest of the season.
 Pep and ginger, the kind that makes an opposing team feel weak, was much in evidence and the way the squad went through the afternoons work would make Little Rock man feel shaky. While the men are in fine condition and executing the plays. with almost machine Ike perfection, still they are not over confident and seem to realize fully that Saturdays battle at Forest Park will be one of the fiercest ever witnessed by local fans.@
 Bloom will work with the boys every afternoon and other former football players have also taken an active interest in the success of the varsity.
 Tha student body is awaiting the game with suspense. A victory over Little Rock is more to be desired than rolling up big scores against any other team in the state. Over 300 tickets have already been sold and it ;c ovnantod that fully q thousand people will witness the game Satur- day.
 The following will be the officials for the game: Frank Bloom, George town. referee Campbell, Chicago Unl- versity. of Little Rock, umpire. Mar shall Long, Culver, head linesman. The game will begin promptly at
