Tech, Business, Central, and
Eastern Have Worthy 0ppo-
nents In Gridiron Struggles.
By BRYAN MORSE.

Some real action is expected on
scholastic gridirons tomorrow. Tech
meal Is tourneying to Baltimore to
play the Baltimore Polytechnic High
School. Central Is meeting the Episco-
pal High School. of Alexandria; East
ern Is stacking up against the Army
and Navy Preparatory School eleven.
and Business Is slated to oppose the
kasn,dolPhIMacon Academy eleven. Of
| For the frst time this season COM
parison can be made of two of the high
stacked up against the Baltimore Polys
and defeated them by to o. The Gem
trail players blocked kick and got
through for a touchdown. On the same
afternoon Technical went to Episcopal
score.
After tomorrow's games 1t will be no.
tlced what Tech and Central are able
to do against the same teams. Central
recently lined up against the Army and
Navy Prep eleven and was able to score
three touchdown, so the account of
the affair goes. The future soldiers and
sailors went through Central for a
touchdown. Eastern. with a much
lighter eleven than Central and possess
Ing fewer veterans, is expected to have
its hands full.
Tho Army and Navy Props have two
open dates on their schedule as an
nounced by Coach Frank Newberry to-
day. The Props open their season to-
RSsLow against sT Eastern and viii play
Technical is played. November 4 will
ind an open date. while the following
Saturday Episcopal is met at Alexan-
dria. On November Is the Shenandoah
Valley Military Academy is played at
Winchester, Va. The date of November
3 usually filled by the st. Adams School,
left open. 1t is thought that this
account OF the fact that the Props so
far outclass the st. Adams youngsters
this season. Georgetown Props may be
asked for date.
Judging from the Few games played
and the practice scrimmages INDUCED in
this fall. the high school elevens cannot
boast much In the way of offenses. None
or the teams has scored more than a
single touchdown, and two of them have
failed to score In their initial battles.
Central has some excuse in its Balti-
more Poly contest. as the Monumental
team. In Westerns win at Alexandria
the Red and White team was out
weighed, but failed to sustain any sort
OF an attack.
Tech has usually relied upon the
physical strength of its team to pound
the opposition into submission, but even
this failed against Episcopal Business
has had a varied attack. which has sue
ceeded In the games before the title
series, but has been usually checked in
with two weak teams in the series this
season Tech, Business. and Central
should be able to demonstrate something
in the scoring line.
Billy Martins Georgetown Prep clever
is sure to be conner before the enc
eleven which has sufficient beef TO pro
duce driving attack. The defense a.
this early date Is all that could b.
desired in schoolboy eleven.
