BUSINESS TO PLAY
CENTRAL s ELEVEN
BY n. c. BYRD.
At the Sign of the Moon.

Business makes it's first appearance
in the high school foot ball series to-
day, meeting Central. at American
League Park at 3:15 o'clock. These are
two of the three teams picked as the
should, therefore, be one of the best
played, hardest fought and most IN
teresting of the whole schedule Ac-
cording to the predictions of the past,
the winner of the contest will be COM
PEELED to fight it out with Technical
for the scholastic title.
Business has only three men in it's
line from last year, but the new men
are capable. Wise. Raedy and MacDon-
aid are the regulars of the 1915 eleven
who will start the play against Central.
Berlin, the fullback. was with the squad
last fall and is much better than any
body figures. Central will begin the
contest with practically the same men
it had against Western last week.
Central has the advantage of having
been through one high school battle, its
meeting with Western last week being
worth much to its players, in view of
the nervousness with which many of
them often begin their championship
contests. Central probably has no bet
ter material than Business. The two
teams are likely to be about even in
weight. and the game Is pretty sure to
20 to the team which takes advantage
Of the mistakes Of its opponent.

and the HiIltoppers are said to have ev-
erything in their possession likely to be
sprung against them except something
that may be taught this week. These
formations have been taught the Sec
ond-string men, and tomorrow, Thurs
day and Friday the eleven will be put
through its PAGES against Just the KIND
Of offense it Will lace on eieetlon ga.
The Hilltoppers believe their otfense
is sufficiently strong to force back the
Fordham defense, and think the only
thing that stands in the way OF their
winning is the building OF a defense
sufficiently strong to enable them to
Withstand the attack that is to be
hurled against them.
