through the season with only one re-
verse, will make bold bid TO win tina
game which may decide the scholastic
, football championship Of greater New
York when II meets Manual Training
High School, of Brooklyn, on the grid
iron at Manhattan Field, Eighth ave-
nue. and 149th street, Manhattan, at
o'clock tomorrow afternoon. These teams
represent the highest type OF schoolboy
football players, and a battle well worth
witnessing will be waged when the teams
trot out on the field to start the game.
Manual Training, sighted by the crit
les early in the season, showed its true
power in beating the eleven OF Erasmus
Hall High School on Election Day in de-
cisive fashion. The Blue and Gold team
had a schedule arranged that was ap-
pallng in its severity, and there was no
surprise when the team was decisively
beaten in several OF it's opening games.
When the time came for the eleven to
meet teams in It's class II showed It's pow
er.
Ted Larson. the Manual coach, has
twenty or more boys on the squad, and
there IS little 10 choose between the first
and second strings. In fact, several OF the
so-called substitutes outpiayed the regu-
lars in the practice scrtmmages IN the
last few days. He Is especially strong In
duarterbacks Feuerstein made several
| sensational runs In the Election Day
game and also ran the team well.

In Parisette. the guard, Manual has the
best punter in the local scholastic ranks.
He is good for forty-five or fifty yards
under fair conditions. and gets of
twisting spiral that breaks and shoots
all over the backfeld. He gets them up
IN the ar, moreover. and HIS ends, dead
~ tacklers all, have time to spare in COW

remarkable interference, and they ran
circles around Gulick, Tompklns and
Viviano on Tuesday Had IL not been for
fierce tacklirs By the Erasmus secondary
defence the score might have been run
up much higher.
Against this combination OF star per-
formers De Witt Clinton will hurl 4 team
that has made steadiness its watchword
throughout the season. The Red and
Black plays conservative game. but is
not lacking I'm the tricks Of latter day

more can carry the ball with the best.
Heinsohn. Hueston, Mckenzie and Power
or Snow are the backs, and they so 10
make powerful attacking machine.
Clinton is primed for the game. and in
the practice against the second team
showed unexpected power.
The High School Of Commerce and
Stuyvesant High School will fight out
their annual battle Of the gridlron at
Manhattan Field at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning. Commerce IS more than con-
fldent of winning, and by decisive mar
gin. In practice yesterday the 6jth street
boys showed marked improvement In
their play, and Captain Hagemeyer be-
lieves that his team will come out OF
its slump and defeat both Manual Train
inc and De Witt Clinton after Stuyvesant
has been ground into the dust.
The Dutchmen, while somewhat dis
copraged on the whole, will take the field
with high hopes Of victory. They will be

this difference is the least OF their trou-
bles. One thing is sure, the Stuyvesant
team will fight TO the last gasp.
