Watcn BUSINESS. Ihat IS the
slogan of the school boy teams sum-
ming up the strength Of the elevens
ready to compete for the scholastic
championship and the Princeton Cup
in the series which starts on
Georgetown Field Tuesday. Tech,
last years titleholder, Central,
Western, and Eastern have their
eyes riveted on Business.
The Stenographers have gone
right out to the front in the very
start of the campaign and have
rolled up staggering total in three
battles against out Of town teams.
Business has met but one aggrega-
ton that any of the other schools
has engaged this year and no real
line can be gained on the strength
of the eleven.
In the first battle OF the season against
Briariy Hall Business turned In total
OF IS points. Briarly not only failed to
score but was unable to gain frat downs
In aunccession. In the next engagement
with Alexandria the Bus mess team
scored 80 points against zero. Western
had Just barely defeated Alexandra by
a single touchdown. so that the driving
power OF Business becomes apparent.
The Alexandria eleven failed OF single
hrst down.
Business went down to Charlotte Hall
yesterday for the annual engagement
and won by 55 to 0. Charlotte Hall was
unable In any way to cope with the
Business team. The eleven has not
only scored Ns points In It's three games
but has not been scored on.
This record has been approached In no
way by any other scholastic eleven:
Tech has met reverses. The Episcopal
High school defeated Tech b. IL to II.
The Gallaudet eleven won out over
Tech by 10 to- The Georgetown FTeps
were defeated by q TO 6. while the Bal
:imore Poiys. champions of the Manu-
mental CITY. went down to defeat yes
terday by 10 S.
Business. however. has demonstrated
that II not only has scoring team.
but one powerful on defense. Dowrick
and Ralph Wise make a fine pair OF
ends Macdonald and Kelley have
played tackle this year with the best
Of them. In guards positions are Milon
and Richter: while Wassmans work at
center has shown him to be an excellent
passer and a fine player when his team
Is on the defense.
Buck Wise. keech. Ready. and Bill
Culligan, In the backfield. are all that
the football teams Business used to have
are loud In their praise of Coach Paul
White. Not only In football. but In
baseball. has White proved his worth.
and he has succeeded in developing ex-
ceDtional teams at Business. The
Stenograph pliers are expected to make the
strongest sort OF a bid for the Princeton
Cup this season.
Central was defeated by Episcopal
score OF u to 8. The Episcopal lads
have succeeded In staving on all OF the
high schools Of Washington this fall.
Their work has been rougher than
necessary In two Of the games. but their
eleven has been superior In all cases.
Episcopal has the advantage OF PLAYING
on Its own field. under more familiar
conditions. Results Of the three games
played by the Washington schools would
indicate they were of the same strength
as opposed to Episcopal.

thriller in the last forty seconds OF play
