NTILLIAM PENN CHARTER virtually

Interacademic Football League yesterday
afternoon. but the winner of the lnterscho-

delphia High Schools being deadlocked for
the leading honor The other teams are
right on the leaders heels. and slip-up
for both elevens would put the runners-up
on even terms.

Central Has Chance
Central Highs hopes for winning the In
terscholastic League title were given a
severe jolt last Friday from Germantown
High. and II may he said that West Phila-
delphia completed the job yesterday after
noon by delivering a knockout blow to the
Crimson and Gold on Houston Field. From
the latest reports issued by Central Highs
students, the championship hope has failed
to recover from yesterdays unkind blow.
The game was hardly two minutes old
when Friedman, the sensational West Phila-
delphia halfback. broke clear from an of
tackle play and ran through the Central
team for touchdown. From then until the
finish of the contest the winner was never
In doubt. The speed Boys" victory was
not unexpected. as the game was considered
