team viii. in all probability, enter tho
series at a great dis
advantage in that Gene Ochsenreiter
can hardly be depended upon TO par
ticipate in the initial game with East
ern on October 20.
OchsenreIter was hurt in the
Georgetown prep game of last week to
the extent OF having the chip knocked
on of his shoulder which in itself IS
very stubborn to heal and while this
injury is not expected to keep him out
Of the game for the remainder of the
season, few weeks is surely required
before he will be back in the game.
Ochsenreiter Is one of the mainstays
of the Manual Trainers and the man
around which most Of the attack is
built, and to have him out Of the line
up is quite a handicap to the Rlack-
smiths.
II the performance Of the Central
eleven in their game with the George
town Pheps last week is to serve as a
criterion, the o Streeters bid fair to
annex another football championship
this season. Although it is rather early
to predict the outcome Of the interschO-
lastic series. the work OF the Central
team. so close to the advent Of the sea-
son. is worthy of mention
There seems to be an unusual amount
Of material at Central this fall and the
team is q great deal heavier than tho
average. With Coach Thomas at the
helm 1t Is a good bet. even at this early
date, that Central will be quite in evil
dence- this fall
The Wise brothers. Buck" and Ray"
are proving good running mates in the
backfield at Business. To date both have
shown class in this capacity and again
this season the success Of the Stenog-
raphers seems to lie in the personnel Of
the Wise family.
One Of the most striking deficiencies
in the Western eleven seems to lie in
not having a capable punter. While this
may not seem to be so essential to some
followers OF the game, DEFICIENCIES in this
department has lost many a scholastic
football game. The most advantageous
attack for any high school team TO fol-
low is that of the kickilS. game. provided
that it is IN possession OF q strong de-
fense. With this in mind good punting
IS quite an asset to high school football
teams
In Ray Wise. OF Business. that school
has one Of the most capable punters
seen in the scholastic circles for many
a day Ray has been kicking tha

Baldwin, Of Eastern, worked well at
quarter back last week in the st. Adams
game and a good year is predicted for
this lad in this role Baldwin has one
seasons experience to his credit, which
should serve as a backbone for q sue
cessfuI season.
While the Eastern team is not expect
ed TO cut much Of figure in the series
this fall. the Capitol Killers seem to be
| in possession Of a bunch Of good mate
riaI which will in time show class
The greatest drawback at Eastern is
I that the personnel Of the team is mostly
inexperienced. and little can be expected
the first year.
''Untz" Brewer and Peyton March.
formerly Of Western, played classy
football for st. Albans in their initial
game with Eastern. These two men
would fit in nicely in the Red and White
lineup at the present time. and Western
lost two good athletes when Brewer and
March discontinued their scholastic work
at Eastern.
Buck" Ochstadt. Of Central. is display
ing some unusual class in the back field
and It IS generally conceded that he will
be one Of the stars OF the scholastic Sc
rfes this fan. Some few weeks ago
an effort was mae by St AIbans to
land the present Central star and If such
had been accomplished Centrars chances
for the title would have greatly de-
creased
Although the Western line is compare
lively heavy, its back field will probably
be the Iightest in the series. Fuller
O'Brfen, whelchell. McKelway and Peck
are the present backheIdmen on the Red
and White.
Owing to injuries to four Of It's reg
ulars, Tech was unable to make such OF
a showing against the Georgetown Re-
serves yesterday.
| Ochsenreiter. Steed. Roberts and Gio'
son are the men who are temporarily DIS
abled, but It is expected that all save
OchsenreIter will be in the lineup for ths
initial game OF the interschOlastic series
Hume, Of Western. has managed Il
land the job at center from Giblin OF las
years team This in itself Is a proc
that Western is developing some gooC
men, as GIblin played some classy bal
for the Western eleven last fall
, Peck is at present Ineligible to partici
