Coach Doggett, of the Eastern team
which defeated the Business eleven last
Friday, in comparing the high school
football teams of this city with those
of Morristown, n. j., is under the inn
precision that they are considerably
weaker than those of his home town.
In explaining the inferiority of the local
clubs, the new Eastern coach attributes
it TO the fact that the climate in New
Jersey is more bracing and the teams
get an earlier start and also fog the rea-
son that the men are heavier and pos
sess more knowledge of the game in the
State farther North.
The Western team defeated Army and
Navy Prep school yesterday on the lat
ter,s field by scor- of Z to 6. The Red
and White eleven was considerably
strengthened by the appearance of
''Untz' Brewer, who is now eligible to
play, having come up to the requirements
in his studies in the recording of the ad-
visory marks. ''Untz" played a rafting
good game for the West Enders on his
initial appearance of the season and
much is expected of this lad leading to
the strengthening of the Western back
field.
The followers of the various high
school football teams are jubilant over
the fact that none OF the teams were
weakened after the publication of the adj
visory marks last Friday. This is, how
ever, considered exceptional. as in pre-
yious years none of the schools were
able to skim through the season without
some kind of loss.
Pepper, Westerns left half back, is
now suffering from a bad charley horse
and was only able to play part of the
game against the Army and Navy preps
yesterday, but Trainer Joe Oliveri is Civ
ing it special treatment and the young
back field man is expected to round into
shape in time for the Eastern game next
Friday.
The absence of Ray Wise from the
Business lineup in the Eastern game
weakened the Stenographers to no little
degree Ray has been, laid up with a
bad rib, but expects to get back into
the game in the next few days. with the
consent of his family physician.
The work of the Eastern team In their
first game of the present series last Fri
day against Business was commendable
from every standpoint and it is now tout
ed as a strong contender for the title.
1t showed lots of speed and a good de-
fense, and at this stage of the game
appears to have two all-high men in |
Greer and Thornett, its center and quar- |
ter back respectively.
Over at Western the team was
strengthened more than merely in the |
case of Brewer, as Giblin, a ltnesman, |
also passed on his advisory report. /
Fats" in all probability, will start in \
as guard for the boys from across the |
creek against Eastern in their next |
game, and just keep your eyes on this
youngster.
Eastern is considerably handicapped In |
not having a capable punter, and will |
have to be strengthened in this depart
ment before many moons, or some of the
other teams will take advantage of this |
and proceed to play kicking
game, which might prove fatal to the
boys from Capitol Hill.
