big guard, who were held out of the
Mississippi contest last week
Thes fact that Washington and Lee
has not played any Southern Intercol-
legiate Athletic association eleven this
year lends interest to the battle with
Georgia Tech at Atlanta. The Generals
are reputed to have a very strong ag-
gregation and Tech has not been de-
feated this season. Tech will be with
out the services of Right End Senter,
who broke his ankle in the North Car
Dlina contest last week, but other play
ers injured in that contest are said
to be in good condition. Tech. like Van
derbilt, has resorted to night practice
with the aid of searchlights.
Since Georgia defeated Virginia there
has been much speculation as to what
the Crackers would be able to do
against the Navy. Georgia did not use
several of its regulars in the Virginia
game owing to injuries and other con-
ditions. Garmany, j. Reynolds, Dom
nelly and Mcconnell, all of whom have
beer more or less injured, were in
cluded among the 80 players who left
Athens yesterday for Annapolis, but
only Donnelly was included in the

CENTRAL READY TO
MEET BLOUNT HIGH
At REDWOOD TODAY
Game viii Start at 1890
OiClock-BOth Teams in
Fine Shape for An
nual Game

Central High school goes up against
strong foe in the Blount County High
school at Redwood Field this morning III
one of the most important games on the
local eleven's schedule. The game will
start at 1890 o'clock. The Blount team
arrived in Birmingham late yesterday
afternoon in excellent condition for the
game.
Central is in fine shape for the game
and followers of the Crimson and White
are expecting victory. Blount played
the Bessemer High recently and was
swamped, but Central followers are not
pointing to this as an advantage for the
Pritchard eleven.
Practice has been held daily for the
past week by Coach Pritchard and every
effort to have the team in good condition
for the scrap has been strained. Not a
regular member of the squad is suffering
from serious injuries which will prevent
him from entering the game, but several
members are suffering from slight injuries
which will prevent them from playing
their best game.
Centrals backfield is about decided.
decided. Jackson will start at fullback
ana 90 the IOl the lSdHl AL
though his first year on the team, the
Lakeview product has developed into one
of the most reliable men on the Pritch-
ard machine. Hahn, the only veteran in
the backfied, will be started at one-haif,
while Watkins will play the other. Either
Jaffe or Levy will run the team from
quarter.
Jones' and Lacroix will be the ends,
while Captain Craig and Balsam will be
the tackles. Rox and Montgomery are
slated for the guard positions with Hall
at center
Blount's lineup is uncertain, but it
is thought that the boys from Oneonta
will start with the same lineup which
faced Bessemer several weeks ago. Blount
has always given Central trouble in their
annual game, and Coach Pritchard is ex-
pecting another hard struggle this year.
Central has not tasted defeat as yet and
the game today marks the beginning Of
the heavy end of the schedule. Next Sat
urday morning the Baylor team from
Chattanooga will be Centrars opponents

A reversal of form in any of the
other prominent games in this sec
ton would mean the elimination OF
some team from the championship race.
Louisiana State, which has >sefeated
Texas A. and NJ and ran up a heavy
score against Mississippi college, has
a chance against Sewanee to demon
strate whether or not it has team
of real championship calibre. Sewanee
has not shown itself to be exceptional
ly strong this year when compared to
other leading southern elevens, but
still appears capable of putting up
stiff battle.
Auburn should get real test against
Mississippi A. and NJ, while Alabama
figures to win over Mississippi Uni

been improving ever since it's game

Lexington, Va, October 27.-(Special)
Leaving last night for Atlanta to meet
Georgia Tech in what is considered the
most important gridiron contest of the
day for the south, Washington and Lee
expects on Saturday to establish claim
for the southern football championship
Washington and Lee, Georgia Tech and
Vanderbilt have been undefeated by a
southern eleven, and since each of the
four meet one of the others the game
Saturday is expected to have direct
bearing on deciding the championship.
Despite injuries to ends Grille and Ora
ham, who were looked upon as regulars
on the wing positions, the Generals left
for Atlanta in excellent condition, but
with a changed lineup. Bob" Ignico.
whose work in the game against Rutgers
seemed to slate him for a permanent
berth behind the line. has been shifted
back to right tackle following the desire
of Coaches Elcock and Donahue to put
more weight in the line and the improved
showing at right half by Harry Adams.
Turner Bethel, who has been playing
right guard and right tackle, has been
shifted to right end. This is the position
the big Richmond boy used to play and
during scrimmage on Wednesday showed
up well. Larkin, whose early season
work did not come up to expectations, has
been improving steadily, and will start at
left end.
Washington and Lee will be outweighed
by the Techs, but the General expect to
offset this apparent handicap with greater
speed, more open play and the toe of
Captain C'Cy'D Young, whose punting
this year is better than ever. The Gen
erals average 1877 pounds in the line,
and $50 pounds in the back field, over

The team will lineup Saturday as fol-
lows: Larkin, left end; Johnson, left
tackle; Bryan left guard Pierotti, center;
Moore, right guard; Ignico, fright tackle;
Bethel, right end Bagley, quarterback;
Young captain, left halfback; Adams,
right halfback; Sorrells, fullback.
Alumni of Washington and Lee from
all parts of the state gathered in Bir-
mingham yesterday and departed at 5
