SCHOOL SERIES TO
BRING OUT STARS
Followers of Scholastic Football Leek to Coming Cham
pionship Games to Develop Players Whose Names Will
Last in History Of the Gridiron Sport.
By BRYAN MORSE.

Each high school championship series
produces one or two stars whose per-
formances live to be remembered by the
followers of the annual contests, and
the intent adherents and boosters of the
schoolboy players are wondering what
players will come up for notice this sea-
son.

Fisher and Cohill, of Eastern: Buck
Howard, of Western; Eckendorf, Of
Tech, Harris, of Business; Wilson, OF
the same school, with Gene Ochsen-
reiter. of the Manual Trainers, also cut
in on the limelight.
Many of these stars have either grad
uated~ or quit the schools so that the
boards are set and ready for a new
crop of heroes. Where King and the
rest of the warriors shone others are
ready and anxious to show that they
are just as good as their former team
mates.
Tech again boosts Gene Ochsenreiter,
while Felt, fast end. and Steel, quar-
terback, come in for consideration. 9th
ers insist that Noel White will show
up all the other linemen in the schools.
Business is out with the claim that
Harry Harris, who is captaining the
eleven, will outshine all of the other
halfbacks.
Eastern is pointing to Reilly as a
conner with Captain Pope and SLEEPY
Williams, the tackles, and last but by no
means least Jim Thorpe" Greer. the
husky brother of the Catholic Univer-
sity coach and rated as the largest of
the fullbacks this season. Eastern has
profited by Central's success last season.
and is looking to Greer's weight and
strength In the backfield to carry the
eleven through.
At Central they point to Dutch
Acorn as the hope of the team. The

Georgetown today faces the powerful
Virginia Medical School eleven. While
the coaches profess TO be confident OF
victory for the Hilltoppers, It would not
be surprising II the Virsinians gained

In addition to Moriarity, Charlie Ber-
gin and Tad" Donnelly, the varsity
ends. will be absent when the battle
onens. However they may be sent into
the lineup before the contest ends,
especially II their presence seems neces-
eary.
The only straw to show the strength
OF the Medicos is their game with North
Carolina A. and NJ. They gave Jack
Hegarty's team a tough fight, being
beaten 13 to Z. II they put up the same
kind of contest today. Georgetown
will do well to win by any score. Foot
bail experts who have seen them prac-
tice. declare that the Medicos are too
slow TO make any headway against the
speedy Georgetown eleven, but the
soggv field will have much to do toward
evening up conditions.

ments whereby Joe Turner will give an

tion, the tourney should be well worth

 That's my wife" Robinson is quoted as saying.
 Well, I'm glad to meet your wife, ; said Horton, but that isn't the point. I'm in the furniture business for some thing besides my health, and people don't usually come to the store, pick out what they want and drive away without paying for it. That's what you were about to do, wasn't it?"
