Central and Western are meeting to-
morrow In the eighth OF the annual
championship high school football
games. Central is In n position to make
Inc largest score ever made against n
Western High School team and will un-
uoubtedly make the opportunity one
which will long be remembered by the
Red and White.
History In the last ten years fails to
record a Central win over Western by
moro than two touchdowns and It Is a
matter of record that Central plays
poorly against the Red and White, no
matter how good an eleven the pres
ent champions are able to boast.
On performances this season Cen
trail is in a position to roll up a tre-
mendous score. its team Is in better
condition. the men having played to-
gether all season. the team is heavier
by many pounds to the man, and is
more experienced in every department
Of the game.
Western will have but one man on
the team who has played high school
football before this year. MacBrady,
who is acting captain, is the only vet
eran and with this exception, Western
ls to present an absolutely green
titNtN
Central is conceded the high school
championship and Western Is not likely
to upset the dope in any way. The
boys from across the creek will aver
the lightest team that ever took the
field In q high school championship
contest. Fuller. Bethel, Pepper. and
Whelchel. averaging an even l2S pounds
In the backfleld. are IS midgets COM
pared to Central's big men in the back
field. King. (DDgrlin. Reeves. and
Fowler.
Westerns first defeat Of the Blue and
White was In 1903, the year before that
the team was held to 5 to score.
ningham, Jock Snow. Kid Kelly, Block
KIpp. and Sidney Kent, was the first
Central team to bow to Westerns
eleven with Kortright Church as cap
tain. For the next four years Western
was a winner, once winning the cham
pionship under Tom Kirby and Branch
Bocock and tying. In this year Tech
rolled up 30 to score against West
ern. while Central was defeated by Aus
tin Howard's drop-kick
For this reason Central claims that no
matter how good a team II may have,
Western is always able to come back
even after overwhelming defeats. The
game tomorrow will not be hard for
Central. because Western has shown no
scoring or defensive ability with its
youngsters. About the only consola-
ton that Western will be able to get
is the fact that practically every boy
on the team will have a chance at
Central for the next two years as they
are in their second year.
No predictions have been made on
the score. but Coach Thomas team is
expected to roll anywhere from thirty
points on up. Western will fight to the
last as all Western teams are capable
of doing. but littl.. hope is entertained
that the Red and White can stop the
big team from Central.
There has been considerable discus
sion Of past records Of Central Western
games dating from 1902, the time when
Tech and Central split to become sep
arate schools. Since that date Western
has succeeded in defeating Central five
times out of nine engagements West
ern has scored 46 points against the
Blue and White. while Central has
managed to make g points against
Western.
