Technical. leader in the race for the
high school foot ball championship.
| will meet Western tomorrow This will
be the third contest for both teams,
Technical having won from Eastern
and Central and Western having lost to
| Business and Eastern.
There Is no doubt about Tech being
! the general favorite. Few followers of
+. Western has much of a chance to win
from the heavy and experienced ag-
gregation representing the Manual
/ Trainers. Western has not shown very
great strength in either of it's two con-
tests, having been unable to score
against Business or Eastern Tech, on
the contrary. has evidenced a strong
defense and an offense of sufficient
power to score in both it's games. o.
course, upsets in form may be looked
for at any time in scholastic sports, but
It would. indeed. be great variation
from apparent conditions if Western
were to win.
Technical ought to be even more pow
erful than when it met Central When
i the Manual Trainers fought out their
annual battle with the Blue and White
| three of their best men who had not
been working as regularly with the
team as would have been necessary to
get the best possible results
Now that these players have had a
chance to unite with their fellows in
more perfect team work there ought
to be no question about Tech being the
victor. Technical has a much more
powerful aggregation physically and
the boys are more experienced than
those who will wear the red and white
of Western. II such a combination did
not have good coaching Western would
not be at a decided Disadvantage. but
under the direction Of Wayne Hart the
Manual Trainers will not lack for COM
petent instruction.
If Western were to win from Techni-
cal an entirely different aspect would
be put on the scholastic race If Tech
energies the victor. as is expected, it
will then have to defeat only Business
in order to have the undisputed right
to the title by virtue Of a straight
string of victories
The Maryland Aggies will play the
deciding game in the race for the state
championship tomorrow. The Farmers
go to Chesterttown to meet Washington
College. which was defeated by Hop
kins three weeks ago. II the Farmers
win from Washington they will be
given the title. but If they fail to get
the long end of the score there will be
no championship laurels awarded.
washington College is not as strong

have been defeated by the Aggies. If
the Farmers could enter the contest In
their best condition the odds would
favor them, but with three of their |
players under the weather" because of |
bruises they are not likely to
put up their best play. by any means |
Derrick and Kishpaugh will not play.
and Coggins at left end is not In as
good shape as he might be. The alb
sence of Derrick and Kishpaugh from
the lineup will make great deal of
difference in the offense and defense OF |
the Farmers. Derrick has proved him |
selfthemost reliable ground gamer, and |
at right guard, is the heav-
lest of the forwards.
Even with these men out of the line
up the Aggies figure they have at least |
an even chance, and. realizing that the
state championship is at stake, there is
not likely to be much lacking among |
them in the way of fighting spirit.
Georgetown is making greater prep
arations for it's game with A. and NJ. |
Saturday than it has done for any team |
