the saving in money is not the vital

We are directly saving ocean tom

CENTRAL H|GH
IN FAIR TRIM
TO MEET SIOUX
Some Handicaps Because Of
Loss of Men, but Team in
Fairly Good Condition
for Saturday Game.

Central Highs foot ball team, re-
organized for the third time this
season, intends to overcome its
numerous handicaps and return vic
tors from Sioux City Saturday. The
loss of Dave Noble, star fullback,
is one from which the team cannot
easily recover since for the past
month the squad has been practic-
ing plays, most of which conferred
around him.
Captain Art Logan has been shift
ed to full back and Lynton Ayers
played at his position at left tackle.
This change will somewhat weaken
the line upon which Central now
bases, its hopes for victory.
The team will suffer another blow
soon when Ed Moser, center, joins
Noble in the ambulance corps. Chris
Crowell and Art Logan, however,
will not join the army until Decem-
Der.
Pollard and Shafer, who have
been practicing irregularly, are back
i'll practice and will play at Sioux
City. Turner, Wiley and two other
subs will accompany the team.
Harold Eaton, who won his 20"
last season playing half, and Rex
Beck, who aspired to that position
this season, also left with the ambu-
lance contingent.
Sioux City In Good Trim.
The Sioux City team is reported
in good trim. The. Purple and
White squad, however, is in poor
condition, due to the reorgani-
zation on the eve of the reopening
of the season, the monotony of a

many good players during the sea-
son. Plenty of fight is left in the
bunch, however, and this essential
