Another scholastic game is listed De-
sides these. the Army and Navy Prep
School meeting the team representing
Bliss Electrical School
business is on its annual eastern va
cation trip through northern Virginia
1t has played two games so far, poth
of which have been lost. something
of a comparative showing between
Western and Tech may be obtained as
n result of the meeting between West
ern and Fort Hunt. Tech played the
soldier nine. but the latter proved too
strong for the scholastic aggregation.
Bliss Electrical seems to be repre-
sented by team better than the aver
age. 1t has been playing good ball ali
spring and has defeated several scho-
lastic combinations. Judged by what
the two teams have done in the pest.
the Electricians are stronger than the
Army and Navy Preps.
