top Stadium.
MANUALS SHIFT TEAM
BY EUGENE ocHsENREIrER,

I have been asked dozen times in the
last week whether we feared Central
since I was out of the lineup. and at this
time feel the same way as every time /
have been asked The Tech team Is as
strong in every respect as II 1 were in
there. 1t is the general opinion that Tech
must have my services, but as captain of
the team know that they are as capable
OF winning today's game as IL 1 were in
there playing.
This fact was shown against the West
ern team after I was injured. as at the
time / was taken out by Coach Hart
neither team had scored. Tech will beat
Central by at least two touchdowns and
without my help.
Several shifts have been made in the
Tech team since their last game, as Tay-
lor. who played an end position. has re-
placed Roberts at quarter. and the last
named has been placed In right half. as
Daley. who showed such fine football in
the Western game. has taken my place.
do not know whether this combination
Is as strong as II was, but have con-
fdence In It
Centrars team has been somewhat
strengthened since the Business defeat,
as Jones. who was sick during the last
battle. Chambers. formerly an ineligi-
BILE. are logical choices for their posi-
tons and should strengthen the team in
every respect. Molster. who has been on
the sidelines for the entire season, has
earned a place at tackle. and from his
showing In the practice games should
help the Central defense considerably.
Since the faculty declared Williams,
who Is one OF the best ends in the high
schools. eligible. we have nothing to
worry about. as with Williams and Cole
on the ranks the Central backs will
strike several snags before the end of
the game.
Taylor Is a good end. but a better
back. and this Is the main reason for the
change In positions. williams eligibility
settled this fact.
As l have not been out with the team
since the Western game / DO not know
what plays the team will use or whether
any new plays have been practiced but
! am confident that the coaches are
leaving nothing unturned in order to
win this one game. Much rivalry has
existed for a number OF years between
Tech and Central and quite a bit will be
thought OF the team which turns in the
victory today.
/ would rather win this game than any
other game of the series because of the
keen rivalry OF the two schools and this
one victory may decide the winner of
the Princeton trophy Should Central
beat my team and Western defeat Bust
ness then the trophy would go to Gen.
trail Should we defeat Central and
Eastern and Western defeat Business.
the trophy would be ours. but still IL
Central should beat US and Business de-
feat the Western team then the Bust
ness High School will have the greatest
thing in the history OF the sport at that
school accomplished
These are Just ifs" At this time I |
think that the championship will end in
a draw with Tech and Business on even
terms. II such is the case business will
finish the nearest the championship since |
the sports regime at the Rhode Island |
avenue school
