Business Is Fayorite
In Grid Clash Today
Orange and Blue Eleven Are
Picked to Trim Western in
Scholastic Game.
CAN UPSET THE DOPE
By EUENE ocHsENREITER.

In looking over the two opponents for
today's game In the high school series,
Coach Whites Business team should win
but only after hard battle. In the
Eastern game the stenographers were
bit overconfident which made them look
bad. Since that battle Business has
braced up considerable and should win
by a fair margin.
There is only one chance for Western
TO win today's game and that is for Peck
to get his punts away which was not
the case In the game with Technical. But
for the fact that Peck was slow In kick
ing, the final score of the western-Tech
game would have been to 0, but through
this slowness Pfeffer was able to break
through and block the kicks.
This one defect on Peck's part should
he overcome as he has had ample time
In practicing the kicking game. The
Business eleven Is far better to the man
than the Western team which will take
the field today, and with CuIligan. the
captain and quarter back. at the helm
should be able to make more than a
favorable appearance.
Much depends on today's game. owing
to the fact that should Western win
or tie Technical will be the proud pos
SCISSOR OF the championship and the
Princeton trophy. while should the dope
carry and Business comes through with
the long end OF the score the champion
ship will end In a draw as Il stands now.
Technicars prospects of winning the
championship this year are very slim. as
i look for the Business team to show
real football ability and the same kind
which they showed in the Technical game
earlier in the season.
Somehow teams which are turned out
at Business generally start out with a
rush and after playing exceptionally
good games slump and are knocked out
of the title by some team which Is far
inferior to them. II appears that such is
the case this year. and unless the Bust
ness team shows the same kind of game
IL Is capable Of putting up, there Is no
hoping for the championship to end in
any other way but a draw.
The players of the two teams today
will be out fighting for all high positions,
and unless several men on the field take
decided slumps they will be named for
the positions.
Coach Whites team this year is by far
the greatest ever turned out at the
Rhode Island avenue school, and as Bust
ness High has never had a championship
in football, too much cannot be said
about the showing this season. White is
a man who knows football throughout.
and with fair material on hand should
make history at the school in this sport
The Business coach is a coach who
seldom says anything at mistakes and
understands why schoolboys make them,
which Is not often applicable to coaches.
whether in high schools orcolleges. Such
men as Paul White at the head of the
high school teams boost the sport
The Technical High School will give
supper to the members of the football
team on Thursday night in the schools
lunchroom. and at this time 1t Is thought
that the captain for the coming season
will be elected. Owing to the fact that
Magoffin has been called by the Central
board to work a game at Athens.
Ga, Jack Goss. the old high school
referee and one of the best in the bust
ness, will be the official this afternoon.
while the other officials will remain the
same. The game will be called promptly
at ; O'Clock at the Georgetown varsity
field.
