SCHOOL STANDING.

Today's high school football game is
uaIling off the 1913 series for cham
l,ionship for the Technical high school
or an even break with Western high
for the title depending upon what
Teci. is able 10 do against the Eastern
nigh school eleven.
Those who have closely followed the
matches running at the Fifteenth and
II streets park believe that Eastern is
all in-and-outer One game has seen
the Light Blue and White flashing
along in championship form and an
other has caught Coach Doggett's
eleven in a sluggish stride with strong
opposition, meaning defeat at the last
moment
Eastern started off the season with a
rpsh that presaged the title from the
ump. After Tech had eked out a win
over Business Eastern took the field
and after pushing the ball up the field
tor a touchdown on the Business eleven
made smother for the most decisive
core recorded in the series this season.
Everyone who even knew of d high
school player passed the palm TO East
.-rn and sat back in contemplation of a
Iitle for the Capitol Hill lads. West
ern somewhat surprised Eastern and
lhen Central rose up in desperation and
srabbed a tie game out Of the fire.
Eastern, however. has shown enough
10 warrant a tough and stubborn op-
POSITION for Tech in today's battle. The
Manuel Trainers are being met by a team
Weakened by the absence of Thornett.

The showing Of the guards in today's

performances, and the showing today

Tech has recorded its wins over the
pther teams by displaying strong de-
tense. The eleven has been scored upon

down has been allow=l tine tam has
r,alIy kept its gosl lire uncrOsseC.
The impression has prevailed all along
At Eastern IS capable OF diSplayin"
otter form than it has shown in the
ameS TO late Coach 4 S. Doggett. Of
he Eastern eleven. is of the opinion
hat his team can 90 much better than
I has done in the past and looks for
win today If the eleven wakes up.
''Haggy" Ellis who has brought Tech
10 the brink of the title in this, his
first year as coach. is of the opinion
that the Manual Trainers will show
That they really cen d. in the way of
making tOUchdowns today. Ellis says
that Tech has scoring ability and an
even better sustained attack that has
been shown and expects a decisive
score.
