TECH AND EASTERN
E[EVENS TOP[AY
Manual Trainers Tomorrow
Should Easily Win Second
Game of School Series.
TIGERS MEET DARTMOUTH
BY q. c. BYRD.

Technical High should not have much
difficulty tomorrow in winning from
Eastern in the second game of the high
school foot ball SERIES The Manual
Trainers will outweigh the Light Blue
anu White eleven by big margin, are
| faster and much more experienced The
game will be played at American
League Park and will begin at 3:15
pm.
Only one cog will be missing in
Techs machine. Dave Pfeiffer, one of
! the most capable of the backs, is unable
to play because of Illness He is not
expected to be out of the game for
more than two or three days and should
be in shape to go into the more impor-
tant struggles with Business and Gen.
trail. Pfeiffer's absence tomorrow
should not endanger Techs chances of
victory to any great extent. The Man
ual Trainers probably are strong
enough to win from the light Eastern
eleven with one or two more regulars
out of the play
Tech, like Central, was extremely for
tunate in having it's first game sched-
| uled with a much lighter eleven. 1t
mus ieiS iidu d cIldHCe 10 develop along
! rational lines and has not been COM
PEELED to rush it's practice. with the at
tendant risk of reaching top form be-
fore its most crucial struggles. Had
Tech been scheduled to meet Central in
one of the opening games the lighter
and less experienced elevens might
have had better chance to accomplish
more because of the longer time they
would have been given in which to
develop.
If Tech fails to win easily from East
ern the result will be quite a surprise.
Judged by what the two elevens have
accomplished so far in their practice
battles. the Manual Trainers are much
the superiors of the Capitol Hill boys.
Eastern has turned out some plucky,
hard fighting teams in recent years,
notwithstanding the light material, and
It may give Tech more of struggle
than is looked for. Mccartney, who is
in charge of the Eastern squad. will
get the hest out of his men, as he has
given proof of his capabilities along
that line in past seasons. If Eastern
has the material out of which team
can be developed to give Tech a real
struggle. it will show at its best under
McCaffrey's direction. 1t Is doubtful.
though, If the physique of the young
sters at Eastern will be good enough
to warrant the expectation of anything
more than a fair showing, even with
the most capable of coaching.
The victory of the Georgetown team
over Dartmouth last week detracts
somewhat from the Importance of the
struggle in which Dartmouth and
Princeton are to engage Saturday at
Princeton. Had Dartmouth won from
the Blue and Gray it would have gone
to Princeton to take part in the most
important contest of the week, one in
which 1t would have battled with some
chance of winning recognition for east
ern foot ball supremacy. However,
since the defeat by Georgetown. Dart
mouth will not be conceded anything
like an even chance to win from the
Tigers. OF course. everybody is famil-.
lar with the fact that Dartmouth was
holding back at the start Of the con-:
test with Georgeown. but even after
1t put the best men it had in the game
it was not able to score. With an
eleven such as that which wears the
Orange and Black, Dartmouth. after its
failure to win from Georgetown, can
not be considered as strong as Prince
ton. There is, of course, the possible
