GREAT FOOTBALL
GAME EXPECTED
FOR TOMORROW
Haverford School and
Northeast Meet in Titanic
Struggle on the Gridiron
BOTH ARE CONFIDENT
By ROBERT w. MAXWELL


The first big" scholastic game OF the
season will be played at Haverford to-
morrow. when Haverford School clashes
with Northeast High. Both teams have
been successful in their early games,
HaNerford defeating West Philadelphia
High and Episcopal and Northeast win
ming from Nillanova and Williamson. As
this will be the first meeting between the
two schools both teams are anxious to
start out with victory.
notwithstanding the loss of two of
their star men, Coach Johnson's pupils
have done good work, and the outlook for
a successful season is unusually bright
In the Villanova and Williamson games
Northeast played excellent football, and
the mon are confident of keeping up the
good work against the Main Liners. Dud
Thomas, the new captain of the team, is
proving himself to be an excellent leader,
and his presence alone is enough to make
the men fight harder than ever before.
Haverford has shown considerable i'm
provement under the coaching of Palmer,
Towne and Ziegler. and will put up a
hard game. 1t will be the first real test
for the teams and the success of the sea-
son hinges on the result
Cheltenham High School now is in the
throes of a hard luck streak, and with
the game against Wilmington High sched-
uled for tomorrow the coaches fear for
the result. OF the six veterans left over
from last years team three are on the
hospital list and will not be able to play
for some time to come. George Eslinger,
the star end, is laid up with a badly
wrenched knee and probably will not be
able to play again this season. Raignel
and B. Waldis also have injured knees,
but they probably will be back in the
game next week.
Coaches Sohl and Brown are having
considerable difficulty with the line po-
sitions Last years players are not up
to the standard. and the new men, while
they have shown ability, are lacking In
experience. ID. Fell at tackle and Scar
ing at centre are putting up the best
game on the rush line. Henderson, the
former st. Joseph's player, is showing
up we'll at fullback and should prove to
be the star of the team.
William Dickle has been selected a
manager of the football team to succeed
Raymond Malley. who resigned. He has
arranged the following schedule: october
20, Germantown High School, at home
October 20, Ridley Park High. at home
November 5, st. Luke's, at home; No
vember 10, Lansdowne High, at Lans-
downe; November 25, Norristown High
at Norristown.
Urged on by Coach Howell and Harry
Fritz, the Central High football team is
working hard for the game with Beth
lehem Prep. at Houston Field, Saturday
This is the first hard battle on the Grim
son and Gold schedule and 1t should be
well worth seeing. As Penn plays at
Annapolis, there will be no other game
in Philadelphia on that day and a record
crowd is expected.
"By" Wharton has been playing a star
game for Chestnut Hill Academy this
year and looks like a worthy successor
to Gaillard, last years star. Wharton
is fast man in the open field good
tackler and shows excellent judgment In
running the team from quarterback The
Killers will line up against Southern High
tomorrow.
DR.. Jack Keough will take his West
Philadelphia High football aspirants to
Norristown Saturday to give battle to
the High School eleven representing that
town. Norristown almost defeated Penn
Charter week ago and is likely TO give
the Speed Boys" a stiff battle. Captain
Dave and Brother Bill Feaster will be
in the lineup for West Phlllie-
With Soeffiing. Leiklin. Isenbach. Rem
mey and Taner in the back1eld, Frank
ford High has a good scoring machine
for the remaining games, Soefhing and
Leiklin are good line buckers, while the
other three are able to skirt the ends in
fine style. Frankford defeated Haverford
High Dy the score OF ~ 10 lasl Weeh'
and will try 10 run up another big score
tomorrow against Haddon Heights High.
The game win be played on the Disston
A. c. grounds in Tacony.
La Sale College will journey to Mount
Airy on Friday to play p. l. d. Coach
Walter Dunns team is slowly rounding
into shape and will give the Institute
hoys a hard battle. La Sale has been
weakened by the loss of three Of the star
players, but Dunn is developing others TO
take their places.
