The 81. Albans eleven is a much
improved team aver its perform
rance of last Saturday when it went
down to a 13 to 7 defeat at the
hands of the Western High School
eleven. St. Adams has developed
several new plays for today, and
the Maryland visitors are likely to
have their hands full chasing Brew

Coach Green has equipped the team
with variety of forward passes which
are sure to be good ground gamers to-
day. Charlotte Hall received n trounc-
ing at the hands of the Business eleven
early in the wear.
Central and the Army and Navy
Props can be expected to produce n
brand of football we'll worth seeing.
