TURKEY WEEK
TOURNEY, PLAN
Grid Classic Hangs on
Showing of Central
and Other Teams

Tentative arrangements have
been made by Darrell IA. Davis, di.
rector Of athletics in the Detroit
public schools. to stage a football
tourney for the national interschol-
astic championship In Detroit dur
ing Thanksgiving week. Providing
the three schools involved show the
form this season that they have in
recent years. Oak Park high. of
Chicago. Will probably clash with
Detroit Central here on rhankssiv-
ing day. and Everett high. the Dos
ton school which graduated Charles
Drickley and which has held the
national interscholastic champion
ship several times In the past few
years. Ia very likely to consent to
come west to meet Detroit here IL
the Centralites defeat the Chicago
eleven.
A tentative agreement has been
made with Everett high for a game.
providing Central and Everett both
show the class OF last year. An
agreemen, has been reached by
Davis with Oak Park which will
hold the Thanksgiving day date
open until after Oct :. II Is be-
lieved that by that date. both
schools will know whether their
1915 elevens warrant any such
game.
Detroit Central during the Stock.
Ing and Buss regime has played
football far above the average high
school class. In fact, all OF the
leading Michigan high schools have
been presenting q quality OF grid
sport that excels that displayed by
the majority OF schools that are
considered the class OF the country.
II 10 now believed that Central
this year will have a stronger team
than the 1914 state champions. The
backneid, with Hendrian at quarter
and Loving at one OF the halves, Is
certain to be better than last years.
One aide OF the line IL now as good
as either OF the tanks In 1914, al.
though that forward wall was con-
sidered one OF the finest prep school
lines ever developed In this country.
II Straw returns. and 1t Is now be-
lieved that he. will. the whole line
will be on a par with the backheld.
HaIfback Loving has q chance 70

tradition.
Loving played good football two
years ago on the ninth grade team

trail one OF the stinest schedules

Toledo Waite high will be played
next Saturday, and this IS not con-
sidered dangerous opponent, al
though the defeat Of the Toledo
school BY Monroe last Saturday is
not taken tn mean that the feature
joust of this week will be scor-
ing parade. Monroe had a better
team last year than the down-river
school was credited with. and an I'M
proved squad this fall Is reported.
Following Waite will be Grand
Rapids Union. and the strongest OF
the other Detroit school teams.
Then will follow Muskegon. Sag
