line and gives promise of developing into
a fine performer.
Central is going through a different
foot ball season from what il has been
used to having in recent years. The
Blue and White has been on the top, or
near the top, for a long time. but IL has
lost all three of the contests in which it
has appeared this fall.
The one big game toward which all
followers of scholastic foot ball are look
ing is that scheduled between Technical
and Western Friday. The Red and White
and the Manual Trainers will struggle
In what Will undoubtedly be the ec.ding
game for the championship. The Tech
meal eleven has been putting in some
hard licks since its poor showing against
Central, and it will do much better
against Western.
That Western is going to be hard
aggregation to stop is certain. in that
any time Brewer gets loose it will mean
touchdown and the probable loss of
the game for Tech. 1t is not likely that
either eleven will win by more than one
score, and the one which gets the jump
is liable to take the honor. 1t will be
the third game for each team. but on
what has been shown so far both should
win their remaining games Tech ought
to beat Eastern and Western should not
ind Business such a very difficult propo-
sition. although the Stenographers seem
to be showing a lot of Improvement over
their first two games.
The line-up which will probably start

and Moriarty at tackles. Barron and
Bryant at guards, Kelly, center with
Dunn. Fury, Costello and Murray In the
backteld. 1t is possible that Foley will
be used at the start in place OF Dunn
This will undoubtedly be a formidable
combination. and If it gets going to-
gether, will give the Virginia eleven a
harder battle than it anticipates despite
the greater weight of the Blue and
Orange. The Hilltoppers line will not be
