SCHOLASTIC COMMENT
By .BuCK- HOWARD,

Captain OF Nestern 1872 Football Team
Emerson W. Mathews, chairman Of the
high school board of athletic advisors,
will call n special meeting early in the
week to decide the protest eItrrsd by
business against pia 0r"'sloR made by
the officials in the Business-Tech game
last Tuesday. The StenographCrs have
decided 10 use every possible effort to
land the protest and il the athletic sd
visors do not rule in their favor. Coach
White will carry the protest to the Board
Of Education. which will, in ali prob
ability, get three of the best-informed
football men in the town to decide tne
controversy.
The Central aI-western game, which Was
70 have been played last Friday, has oeen
postponed until Tuesday on account OF
rain. The struggle between these two
rival teams bids fair to oe bitterly con-
tested throughout Western having in
mind the overwhelming defeat registered
against them by the Streeters last fan.
while Central must win to keep in the
running for the schoolboy title.
Capt Mac. Brady, of Western, will
start in center in the Central game Tues
day. having been shifted from guard
This is doubtless a wise move on the
part Of Coach Morse. as Mac. is an ac-
curate passer, and will prove tower Of
strength for the west-enders I'm backing
up the line on the defense. This Is.
however. only a temporary move, as
GibIin. the regular center, will be eligible
in another week, at which time Brady
will be shifted back &c ais old place in
right guard.
Ochsenreiter's work in me Business
game was nothing short of sensational.
Gene failed TO gain on but one oc-
Casion. and that was in the middle OF
the field when big Joe Wise managed
TO break through the line and grab the
fieet-footed baCkfieldsman from Tech.
The reason why "ochsy'' did not do the
punting for the Manual Trainers was be-
cause he is suffering from the effects of
a bad knee.
'.Katsy'' Dean. the lad on whom East
ern expects wonders of next spring on
their ball club. was offered a contract
from Billy Smith. of the Atlanta club
Of the Southern League, last week.
Dean. refused the offer. as he was not
ready TO enter the profession as yet, de-
string to continue his course at Eastern
until he has secured d little more season.
ng on, the sand lots Of Washington.
Coxey, Techs substitute quarter back.
Is the most promising young field general
in the high school ranks. Army has
showed up well in the practice games
thus far this season, and it is a safe bet
that he will prove a star as a successor
10 Steed. who is probably the best quarter
,ack in the present series
Greer. in center for Eastern, Is putting
up a CLASSY game i'm every department,
and from the way things stand at pres
ent this lad will put in strong bid for
4 place on the all high team this fall.
He is big rangy chap, and is the BACK
bone of the Light Blue and Whites de-
tense. Watch this Mr.. Greer in the game
against Business next Friday.
Earle Royer. the lad who held down
second base for the Western team last
spring. has developed into a pretty fair
drop-kicker. Coach Morse is depending
upon this lad to drop a few over from
the field in the present series Aside |
from this, ROyer looks good at quarter
back, having used rare Judgment in the
running of plays in the preliminary
games thus far this season.
The bulk of Westerns offensive |
strength lies in young Peck, who is play |
ing left half back. While only a young |
ster. he is fast and knows the fine points |
Of the game, and promises to be star |
of the first water, having showed up TO |
advantage so far this season.
The Western squad feels the loss of |
young Tommy PeytOn to no little degree. |
He was forced TO quit the game. owing
to parental objections, after having re-
ceived 4 slight injury in one of the |
scrimmages against Gallaudet Peyton
was the best punter among Morse's crex |
and also was sure TO cop regular job
on the Red and White team.
