BOOKED TOMORROW
Three More Games Remain to
Be Played in High School
Grid Series.
BY Il. c. BYRD.

Three more games are to be played in
the high school foot ball series. Only
one Of these will have bearing on the
championship-that between Western
and Central next Tuesday Tomorrow
Technical and Eastern meet and just
week later the schedule is due to wind
up with game in which Technical and
Business will figure.
There are two ways in which the
series may wind up in 4 tie between
either Western and Central or between
Technical and Central However, IT is
a remote possibility that either will
exist at the end of the contest Friday
| November %. which marks the finish
of the schedule. If Technical defeats
| Eastern and Business and western gets
| the better of Central. then d triple tie
would result. with Western, Technical
| and Central on an even basis. with
| three victories and one defeat credited
| to each. No matter what the outcome
! of Techs games. If Central should lose
to Western it would then be tied with
| the Georgetown boys. However. when
! the possibilities Of 4 tie are considered
i the whole range centers around a de-
! feat of Central by Western. which.

A victory by Central over Western on

record ever made by a high school

Central is making record that may
not be equaled in years and possibly

on. 1t is safe to predict that after the

remarkable season any Washington
