SECOND HALF STARTS
IN SCHOOL SERIES
Remaining Contests to Decide
Winner or Establish a Three.
Cornered Tie for Title.

Business and Central start the second
| half of the 1913 high school champion
| ship games tomorrow at Vigilants'
Park. Neither team Is considered a
contender. as both have lost their two
, starts In the series thus far. 1t will
have no bearing on the big game to fol-
low Friday, when Technical and West
ern get together in what is thought to
be the deciding game Of the series.
A win for Tech on Friday will give
the Manual Trainers three games on
the title series, with Eastern, as tough
a proposition to defeat as Western, still
to be battled. The close follower of the
high school games has rated Tech and
Western as fairly evenly matched des-
pite the difference in weight.
Tech has an eleven which is heavier
than any other high school team. In
Felt and Roberts, the hero Of the Ceh-
tral contest, the Manual Trainers has a
couple o: ffanks who are sure and
steady. though not brilliant. In Sup
plee and Boryer, the Manual Trainers
possess a pair Of big tackles calculated
TO stop anything that gets In their way.
The guards. White and Hart. with
the center. Harrison, are bigger than
any OF the Western linemen, but not az
aggressive or In the same c.ass with
Greer. the Eastern center, who was sue
cesstully coped with by the Red and
White trio.
Techs backfield, with Ochsenretier
and Hardell in the halves and Gibson
at fuilback, can be counted upon to do
the bulk of the gaining, with Steed. a
nifty quarterback. directing the plays.
Western is pounds lighter than Tech
in the line and in the backfield, and can
only hope for speed to carry through to
a win. In the backfield Brewer, Peck
and Doxon are looked upon as well bal
anced. Brewer, In his one game, proved
to be a veritable sensation. His kicking
is the best since the days when Bill
Thrall, the Tech fullback. used to spiral
them yards down the field. Brewer $
dropkicking Is a valuable asset, as Is
Peck's line-plunging ability.
In Whelchel, Western has a quarter
back that can be depended upon TO get
everything possible out of the REQ and
White team. The youngster, who is the
smallest player in the high school. got
in his first high school game last Fri
day. and made good against Eastern.
Mackall and Roger. the Western ends,
are capable and sure. Rogers work on
running back punts in the Eastern
game, when Peck played on the de-
fensive flank, was a great asset 20 the
Red and White.
Westerns line does not measure up
to that of Tech In weight, but the play
ers are shifty, and can be counted on
to put up a game fight. Ginlin, at CEN
ter, while his passing is a Bit faulty, Is
a good defensive player. Adams and
Grayson. at tackles, are sure and game
enough to carry the fight to Tech, while
Meyer and Brady, in the guards, are
expected to hold up their part of the
argument.
The game is arousing great interest
now that Western has supplanted East
ern as the title contender with Tech.
At the same time Eastern has yet to
meet the Technical team and there are
those who have gone so far as to say
that the championship may end up in
a three-cornered tie with Technical.
Eastern and Western at the top.
Eastern will meet hard nut in Gen.
trail while Tech will have its hands full
with both Western and Eastern.
Greer, the Eastern center. looks to be
the best of the passers back again this
season. With more experience Giblin.
the Western center. might give him a
run for the all-high school position.
Harry Harris. shifted to quarterback
for Business, is proving a better general
that Culligan. Harris is one of the best
running halfbacks in the high schools,
but has suffered from injuries all season.
Ochstadt, the Central halfback, who
came into the series after the first ad-
'vistory. is likely to become one of the
stars of the game before long. His play
ing against Tech did much TO keep the
Manual Trainers from counting.
Centrars inability to develop a
Dunter was the means OF losing the
Tech game. Had any man on the
team been able to punt there
might have been n different score.
forward pass out of bounds would
have gotten better results than the
