BUSINESS ELEVEN
SCORES FREQUENTLY
Has Rolled Up Many Points
Against Teams Which It Has
Met So Far.
By BRYAN MORSE.

All Of the five high school teams have
been seen in action in one or two games
and to Paul Whites Business High
School eleven goes the honor OF having
amassed more points than any Of the
others.
Business lined up against a team lead
by Reds Wilson, q former star. and
scored II points, while a 34-point score
was rolled up against the Charlotte Hall
eleven. AS scoring machine Business
has demonstrated it's ability although
, the strength of the opposing elevens as
compared to those met by Eastern,
Central and Western is unknown. Ray
Wise and Culligan have proven adept in
running and passing.
Techs rangy team minus four OF Its
strongest players, Gibson, Steed, Och
senreiter and Roberts held the heavy
Georgetown Reserves to a 10 to 6 score.
That Tech possesses a powerful eleven
is undisputed. Wayne Hart has gotten
like the strongest contender for the
title.
Techs win In it's frst battle was
against the Army and Navy Prep team.
A single touchdown has been scored
making two for the Manual Trainers
this season.
Western has won its first two starts
against manifestly weaker teams. While
evenly matched in weight and against
somewhat faster eleven at Orange.
Western was able by following the ball
and taking advantage of costly fumbles.
to score g. 16 to 0 win against WOOD
berry Forrest.
Against Alexandria High School West
ern was able to score but one touch
down on an intercepted forward pass.
The chief fault with the Red and White
backfeld as was the case last year Is a
weakness in attack.
Coach Kimble's Eastern High School
team lost its first engagement, that
with Cathedral. and has as yet failed to
demonstrate the strength manifested In
last years eleven. Cathedral, with Holmes
and Brewer on either end of the for
ward pass, Will prove troublesome to
any Of the high school teams. and East
ern is losing no time in STRENGTHENING
out the weaknesses cropping out In the
battle Of last Friday.
Those who have seen the high school
games this season take the first games
as an indication that there will be many
forward passes in the title games. Last
year, while each team was well equipped
with the open style of play, the elevens
resorted to straight football. In the
Eastern-Tech game the result would
have been different had Dyer safely
connected with the pass. while against
Tech, Western disastrously threw into
OcnEPnre1ter arms dIO IOSI inc Coii-
test on his run for a touchdown. West
ern's lone touchdown against the Man
uaI Trainers was the result Of for
ward pass, one Of the few successful
ones, for a touchdown during the sea-
son.
Coach John Thomas is hard at work
on the Central line developing an at
tack. Coach Thomas says that his
charges weakened against Episcopal,
failing to come through with stanch
defense in the critical stage OF the
game, and allowing Episcopal to score.
Gene Ochsenreiter Is out Of the Tech
lineup, but not for long. according to
those at the school Ochsenreiter re-
scrimmage, and may be out Tor only a
short period. He was able TO mop
nimbIy around Georgetown Field In
officiating. but cannot stand harder
knocks for awhile.
Tom Peyton Of Western, Is expected
to come through for the Red and White
after the advisory marks. Western has
Peck punting at present, the younPSleF
sending them for good distances. Pey-
ton, however, has no difficulty in punt
ing for from forty TO fifty-tive Yards. his
long spirals rivaling those Of Brewer OF
last years team.
Jimmy hllSttdn, DIN '1hlOS. -N'i
Oyster, and Ray Bowling, OF Central,
are hard at work under coach Bill Foley,
o. the track team Oyster is a hurdler.
and is captain OF the team. The 1lue
and White is losing no time in getting
the track team out in preparation for
the winter campaign.
Western and Central may hook up
in tennis II the plans Of the two teams
go through. The Red and White players
under Harold Dutton are arranging a
fall tournament. If there is time before
the cold weather Central may be taken
on In n dual engagement.
It IS GOubtful II better ends have been
developed than those who will take part
in the series this asOn. Roberts apd
Mccarthy are almost sure to be found on
| the flanks for Tech. Dyer, Of Eastern,
| is likely to play for the Capitol Hill lads
while Stearns and Mackall, Of Western.
will be found pushing the others for
| berths.
"Rullet" Steed has not been opt for
| the Tech team as yet nor has Bill Gates
! been in the Central lineup. Both Of
| tnese youngsters are good players and
! their absence from the lineup of their
! teams has been noticed.
| 4 player Of promise this year is Lana
| han, of Eastern. The youngster showed
| to advantage last year, and while his
| work was OverSha doWed by that OF
! Frank Greer he proved himself a conner
Greer has yet to aSs--4r in the Phillips
EAetsr lineup.
