ManuaI-CIinton Game May De.
eide a Championship.

Manual Training High School. which
has won the scholastic football champion
ship OF Brooklyn. and De Witt Clinton
champions OF 1911. will meet on the GRID
iron at Washington Park. Brooklyn. THIS
afternoon In "A game which may decide
the championship. Both teams have gone
through the season without defeat.
The Manual Clinton struggle Is not tho
only one which is attracting attention.
however, for at American League PARK,
on washington Heights, the High School
OF Commerce eleven will take tho field
against Stuyvesant. which is represented
by the strongest team In It's history.
Erasmus Hall. which has fallen far be-
low its usual form, will meet tho disor-
ganized eleven OF Commercial High school
at Hawthorne Field.
Few struggles In tho scholastic ranks
have stirred up as much interest as the
meeting OF Clinton and Manual Through
out the entire season the teams have been
pointed toward this one game. and both
are on edge for q sruellinB struggle. II
Manual Training should win. the cham
pionshlp will revert 10 Brooklyn school,
unless the High School OF Commerce.
which plays Manual next Saturday, Is
able 10 save the title for Manhattan.
There is little 20 choose between the
teams. except in the matter Of open play.
There Manual Training seems 70 have tho
slight advantage, although thus far Clin-
ton has never shown what II has In tho
open game and has resorted to straight
football 10 win. The final practice OF both
eleyens last night was smooth and
snappy, and the formations clicked OF
without q single hitch. Over at Manual.
Larson, the coach. had the secondary de-
fence men charging UP to the line and
stopping line plunges. to prepare for tho
line breaking attack which Clinton is ex-
pected to use.
While Stuyvesant has one Of the best
II not the best. teams ever developed at
the school, Commerce looks upon the
game as merely a hard workout. Com
merce will play defensive game for the
greater part, and make little effort to pile
UP the score. Manual Training will be
met in one week. and sisskind will take
no chances with his men. Unless affairs
take an unexpected change. Hank
Blodgett will watch tho game nom the
side lines The big fellow is nursing an
injured foot received in the Morris game
and Russell Clapp will probably start the
game In his place.
Morris and BushWick should put up a
fair game, and there !s nothing to choose
between them. while Adelphi Academy
should experience only little trouble in
trouncing Bows High.
