HIGH GETS
WORK IN STADIUM
Football Games for Title To Be
Staged Elsewhere This
Fall.
By BRYAN MORSE.

Despite the fact that Centrars foot
ball team Is using the new stadium
for football practice. the annual fall
games for the football championship
OF the high schools will be played
elsewhere.
Permission has been given the Cen
trail squad to use the new field under
certain conditions. There has been a
rumor that the title games would be
fought out In the new stadium this
season. Principal Emory NJ. Wilson
says there will be no contests owing
to the fact that permission has been
obtained TO use the field on days
when the turf will get no III treat
ment.
1t Is planned to let the grass grow on
the ffeld and by spring 1t is thought
that baseball can be played. 1t will
be necessary to get the grass we'll
started before football can be played.
The failure OF the schools to be able
10 use the stadium this fall puts the
advisers squarely up against the old
proposition OF having no place to
play the contests. Clark Griffith has
been approached as to using the
American League Park and will give
his decision upon his return here next
month.

same boat as Georgetown In the loss
