MICK CARTER, OF Northeast High. with
A> 80 points and Captain Stley. OF Penn
Charter, with 80 points. lead the Interscho-
lastic and lnteracademic Football Leagues
respectively. Ia Individual scoring. the
advantage OF the two leaders. however, Is
such that it is possible for Captain KICK
kinsman. Of Northeast. and Friedman. oil
West Philadelphia, to beat out Carter. and
Brown. Of Penn Charter. to finish in front
Of his teammate for Individual high scoring
honors. one more game will he played 10y
the ten schools in the two circuits.
In the Intersch lastic ..cIgue, Captain
Dick Kinsman, OF Northeast, has made
the greatest number of tourhdowns. having
five TO his credit. Captain Sitlcy leads the
other circuit with the same number as kins-
man. Carter. with eight, shows the way In
goals from touchdown, This s due 10 the
fact that the y rtheast haiipIck has had
more opportunities to add this extra point
than his rivals In the private school or
ganizat:on Brown and Johnny carp are
dcadlockSd with four goals from touch
down.
Strange as it may he. only une goal from
the field has been made in both leagues
This was kicked two weeks ago by Nick
Carter against West Philadelphia High
Last year six goals from the field we're reg
iStered In local scholastic ranks. carter
,hould have several more 3-ppnters TO his
credit. but the inability of the Northeast line
10 hold accounts for the many failures.
Sitley and Brown have scored 81 or
Penn Charters % points tallied in the
'oague games with F"ic0ds' Central ard
Episcopal Academy. The Quakcrs should
greatly increase their team and individual
,.f th..
year with the weak Germantown Academy
team this Friday afternoon.
johnny carp, of Episcopal Academy, led
the local scholastic ranks in individual
scoring last year with thirteen touchdowns
for Il total of IS points. The Episcopal
leader deserves credit for his splendid
showing this season aud no doubt would
have scored a great many more points
if playing behind the Penn Charter or
West Philadelphia High School line. Earr
Is in third place, II points behind Sitley.
In team scoring Northeast and Penn
/ Charter are well in the lead and are the
only ones who have chance to score more
! than "A century of points, II is hardly likely
( that Coach Harry Snydcr'S team will pass
: the hundred mark. as the final game of the
season is with Central High this Saturday.
The Archive backiield has Tailed 81 points
! 2s more than West Philadelphia
| Penn Charter should pass the century

| rs against Germantown Academy The four
! entrants In the lnteraCadcmc League have
all scored, while in the Interscholasti,

| Not a a,ouchdown has been made against the
| West Philadelphia team, the three points

Another pecuiarity of the 1ntersCholasti,
League is the fact that. excluding thu
Northeast High-South Philadelphia IIgl
game, all the league contests have beer
shutouts. The Red and Black score was
.l-l9.
