The scholastic foot ball championship
will be at stake Tuesday in the game
in which Eastern and Technical are
to play. Based on what the two teams
have accomplished in the past, it would
appear that Western should defeat
Business tomorrow, which will throw
the championship on the result of the
final contest. OF course. if Western
were to lose to Business the standings
would be somewhat changed, but that
is not probable.
Since Eastern was defeated by Cen
trail. it is the general opinion that Tech
should win. OF course, ii may be that
the Light Blue and White will come
through with a victory over their heav-
ier opponents. but the chances favor
Tech Eastern undoubtedly has very
aggressive. capable eleven, but it will
hardly be able to make much headway
against one of the caliber of that which
represents the Rhode Island avenue

ern's team and Techs main problem

II that. is Well done the result should
be a championship for Ellis eleven.
There is not much doubt that Technical
will outweigh Eastern. Greer being the
only heavy man in the lineup OF the
latter. He is powerful and aggressive,
but in the ajority OF the other positions
Eastern should be inferior The Capitol

not easily succumb in any of their con-
tests, as has been shown by the scores.
1t will be a hard. well played contest,
with the odds somewhat fayoring Tech.
Another determined effort is to be

versity Athletic Association, in order
that the university may be represented
on the gridirOn next season. 1t was a
foot ball team this year. but it was not
done because the faculty refused 10
sanction the sport until the outstand-

possible it will put out a nine next

There is question that Georgetown
will meet one of the strongest teams IT
has faced this season when 1t goes
against Holy Cross Thanksgiving day.
The Worcester collegians generally are
represented by much more capable
eleven than the great majority of insti-
tutions of that size. They have regularly
been meeting Yale, Harvard and other
big universities for years and have near
ly always managed TO make a good show
against the Blue and Gray and will show
a much better brand of foot ball than Is
generally looked for by local followers of
the sport is certain.
IL Technical wins from Eastern tomor-
row, and thus clinches the scholastic
championship, it will be quite tribute to
, "Haggy. Ellis and an accomplishment
in which he may take pride He has
turned out very capable bunch of
youngsters. and has proved himself one
of the best coaches in the high schools.
OF course, he has had heavier team in
the majority of his games than his oppo-
uents. hut weight does not count Tor
erything. by a great deal. Coaching
his first year at the school from which
he graduated. Ellis will have won the
championship, really creditable per-
formance.
