ligan. of unknown caliber, in quarter.
Coach White has d good fighting quartet
that will give strong account of itself
before the curtain is drawn in the Scho-
lasriC League.
Even with the many difficulties which
Coach Thomas has had to contend with
on the getaway this season. the former
Lafayette end is still confident Of Turn
ing out a winning eleven at Central, and
although most of the candidates out Tor
the o Street team are green men. II Is
one sure bet that the Blue and w hIte
warriors Will put up some night before the
title Is settled. handicapped by the loss
Of such men IS Mess McDonOUgh and
the famed .Murph" King. and the un-
timely end Of Captain-elect Johnny
Reeves. Coach Thomas and the Blue and
White eleven are bound to fight to the
last. and offset what i lacking in ability
with the old central spirit,
Western. ALREADY touted as tine goat OF
the SERIES Is sure TO spill the dope OF
the wise ones, as Coach Morse has
SQUAD which. although light and green,
NAV hand some of the confident teams
beating. The new system inaugurated at
the GEORGETOWN school of not allowing
a student to report for any squad who
has funk or a chance to fail IN studies,
gives Morse all the available material at
the institution, and will prevent such a
setback as was the case when BUCK
Howard fell below the passing marx at
the critical moment last season. The
sterling battle which the Red and White
gave the GallaudeJ Reserves last We'd
nesday hodes Well Tor the boys across the
creek and the warriors who follow Cap
tain Brady this season are to be looked
upon as the dark horses in the'Tace-
Not much is known of the ability Of the
Eastern eleven, although the wearers of
the light blue and white were returned
the victors in taeir initial clash last Sat
urday against the Alexandria High
School The followers of the Capitol Hill !
School seem TO IaCk the confidence OF old, |
and with a coach Of unknown quality IN !
charge at Eastern, not much Of line can
ne gotten on the prospects. -Four veteran
line men are still left at the southeast
school. and along with Reilly. a back field
man of that pluCky eleven Of last season. J
Coach DoCgett has the nucleus for a
troubIe-makinE team. The spirit Al the |
Capitol Hill School for the past six or !
seven years has been strong. and although |
Eastern will miss such A dasning leader !
as COhIII. it is expected that Coach Dog |
Eett will round out team capable Of |
ma king the others hustle TO win.
Now, with all this summed up. the fol- |
lowers Of the scholastic ETidiron game |
will probably see by the middle of next |
month the Manual Trainers topping the |
list with Business as the runner-UP, and |
Central Western. and Eastern following !
in the order named.
The Western High eleven was handed !
quite a setback when it was learned that |
INT Brewer. one of the mainstays Of |
the team was ineligible until after the /
Central game. "Unz" is well known !
among the scholastic followers for his |
dash and pep" and will be missed when !
the Red and White tackles the o Street
ers.
The announcement Of the death Of |
Johnny Reeves, .captain-elect of the Cen
:ral High School eleven, was a severe
blow for Coach. Thomas team, and cast
gloom over the entire scholastic ranks.
Central was handed 20 to 0 beating by
TIE Kendall Greeners on Thursday OF
last week. out it proved to be good prac-
ice for the Blue and White outfit, as
Coach Thomas had the eleven trying out
many piavs and several Of the new shifts
worked 70 perfection against their heavier
opponents.
The Central eleven is picked 10 finish
IN third position. Coach Thomas team
is competent Of handing the Tech trim
ming, and if ths Q Streeters manage to
upset the dope, rhe followers Of the |
scholastic game will see developed an
other Hamilton. Reuter-. King and Com
psny-
Coach Morse's Red and White eleven
showed class last Wednesday when IT
hattled Gallaudat Reserves 10 a to 2
score, and il is a sure bet that before the
final curtain the. GsOrgetowners viii De
heard from.
Hank Hart, brother If the famous
South Atlantic tackle. who was slated as
a tackle for tile Manual Trainers. was
shifted 10 the second team. and Boyer.
who took care Of the full back position.
was sent to the line.
Coach Doggett was a very DISAPPOINTED
rcan when he learned that Katy" Dean.
The most promising youngstsr he had in
the squad, was ineligible. owing to the
freshman rule. Dean is sure to make his
