such decided objection to meeting Cen
tral in their scheduled game tomorrow
that representatives of the two scnooiS
will get together today to make some
sort tsof arrangement whereby the teams
can meet at another time.
When the Businese-Tech contest was
postponed last Tuesday on account OF
death in the Wise family, IT was de-
cided to play the game tomorrow, ana
to run in the Central-Easterp contest
after that, making a double-header Oh
the affair. IT was thus designed 10
conclude the schedule on the date set
Arrangements were made to have Teen
and Business take the field bit earlier
than the usual starting time OF $50
O'Clock, in order that there might be
plenty of time to run off the game De-
fore Central and Eastern took the field.
Eastern interposed the objection that
its students wished to see the first
game, and that as the school was out
on Capitol Hill so near the starting
time Of the first game thar they wouio
not only have no seats, but would ma

to have the game run of SATURDAY

in its contention that the students
would be unable to see the two games

It is pointed out that the postpone

arisen purely from the sportsmanlike
action Of the Tech players in wanting
to help Business. There was no post

Tuesday owing to the postponement.
Central feels that if cooperation Is
forthcoming in the shape of earlier
dismissal there will be satisfactory
arrangement.
As matter of fact the Central
Western game. started at o'clock
last Friday in order that one of the
officials could catch a train for the
South. where he had to officiate the
minutes. The game was started
promptly at 8 o'clock, and the first
half was concluded at 3:25. With
fifteen-minute intermission between
halves the whole contest was over at
4:05.
Tomorrow's battle between Tech and
Business will draw an even larger
crowd thar the Central-Tech game.
Each school has considerably more
than a thousand students, and as many
Of the other schools will send a heavy
representation. the park is likely to be
texed to capacity.
The information from one who has
been in charge Of two high schools in
yenrs past that there have been no
really good football games this season
probably will strike the average fol-
lower Of the contests as strange. The
battle; that between Tech and Central
displayed not only excellent football,
but gave plenty of thrills. The Tech
Eastern battle was one Of the best.
With but one exception. that when
Tech rode rough-shod over Western.
al Of the games have been hard fought
s.nd productive of some exceptionally
good work.
Tech may be expected to put forward
it's best brand OF football tomorrow.
The Mammal Trainers have so far this
season set a high standard for high
