Central Is being picked as the real
strong team in the circuit these days.
While Eastern was the winner in the
first encounter with Central the Capt.
toll Hill lads will probably go down
to defeat tomorrow. Eastern has de-
veloped a fine passing game, and with
the addition of Reed and Sweeney
can be counted upon to show greater
strength.
Western Prepares.
Western has been putting in week
OF hard work in preparation for to-
morrow's game. Business was defeat
ed in the last engagement, and when
the Stenographers turned about and
defeated Tech a different aspect was
put on the title race.
Tech will be without the services Of
de la vargne. according to reports.
Les Myers will probably play the left
forward position. The manual train
ers will probably put up a better
game in their exhibition tomorrow. A

and Central will likely be made as
they are meeting next week.
