The second game of the high school
series is to be played tomorrow, Bust
ness and Western being scheduled to
meet With the exception of Eastern,
these are the two lightest elevens in
the schools. and open foot ball will
most likely be the main dependence of
both as method of gaining ground on
the offense 7f-
Western probably will outweigh Busi-
ness somewhat, though there are one
or two fairly heavy youngsters in the
Business line Westerns greatest
weight also is in the forwards. Inc
chances are the Stenographers' back
field will be heavier than that OF west
ern, but the Red and White forwards
are likely to have the advantage IN
that respect over the men who race
them. The backfeld of each eleven Is
faster than usual, and all are OF the
gritty type that gives its pest 10 Tic
game. 49,.
Long forward passes have never oeen
of much success in high schooi ioot
ball and the chances are they never
will be under present cono!tions, ~
tomorrow's contest is likely TO prouuce
more of this style of play than is gen
erally seen. Both teams have roper
toire of the long throws. ana theS
probably will be used. BUSINESS mas a

Nv and Coach EXendine
Georgetown coaches and players real
ize that they are going against one y.
the most capable teams they nave iaSeu
this year. Pittsburgh mas selot a
combination. but there is more conn.,
dence in the Blue and Gray camp than
is generally thought. The coaches 40
not talk much, but Graduate Manager
! Cox gives his opinion of the propaole
outcome of the game as folloWs-
"Of course, i do not say that we are
going to win from Pittsburgh. because
we have a rather green team. wnich
will be against an eleven OF veterans.
Pittsburgh, though, is expecting 10
pet away with the game easily, and
therein is the factor that really 1aVorS
US. You know we have had q powerful
defense all the year. our onehse nas
improved wonderfully. and II the packs
do not tumble as they have in the past
we will have d noutside chance to win
and an excellent opportunity TO make a
good showing. You may rest assured
that we are going to do better against
spite the knowledge that the smoky
CITY eleven is one of the strongest IN
the country
est attention this week is to take place
between Dartmouth and Princeton
Practically every enthusiast throuen
| out the north will watch the result OF
that contest more closely than any
other, because it will be the first OPP
portunity to get an absolutely accurate
line on the strength of the Ilgers.
Princeton has won all Its games SO Iar.
but the teams played have generaHy
been conceded to be in class Deio"
| 1t: and this is the first time the Tigers
will face an eleven that ID sure 10 De
worthy of their steel.
Not much is being said at Princeton,
but reports have come from there this
week to the effect that the players nave
| been showing a dash and vim In their
work that has not been evident at any
previous period during the season The
| development at Princeton seems to
have been along very gradual lines.
| and the team should show its best form
| of the year against the Big Green.
Up at Dartmouth there Is great con-
| fdence. The followers of that eleven
feel certain the Tigers are doomed to
| go down to defeat again. Dartmouth
| won last season by to 0. and the team
| that was the victor year ago Is said
not to have been as strong as the pres
ent aggregation. OF course. that may
all be confidence misplaced. but the
| chances are there will be real con-
| test when the two elevens face each
| other. Neither is apt to lose easily.
