The GERMAN STRATEGY.

Guessing the German objective IN

most probable theory IS that the Ger

along the front in the previous often

policy. hoping against hope that any

Central HIGH
READY TO MEET
lincoln TEAM
Game for State Championship
Friday Likely to Be Hard
Battle; Lincoln Averages
100 Pounds.

Central Highs pigskin warriors
will have last try at the state
championship when they invade the
capital city Friday to play their old
enemies from Lincoln High. York
has beaten South High and Lincoln
defeated York last Friday, IS to O.
Thus, if Centrars squad registers
victory over the Lincolnites, affairs
will taken an interesting turn.
But Central will have a stiff time
trimming its ancient rivals if the
dope in local grid circles is correct.
York possesses a team of no mean
worth and its defeat was nice
feather for Lincoln's cap. The vic
tory was due largely to strong de-
Tense and good booting. Lincoln
has three men playing their second
season on the team and eight men
who earned their red sweaters this
fall. The average weight of the team
is 100 pounds. McGlasson, the 2l5
pound right tackle, is largely respon-
sible for the high average. The back
field has the uniform weight of l54
pounds. The highest man on the
team is Pratt. who plays center and
weighs l47 pounds. The line aver
ages 1853 pounds.
Lewellen, the Red and Blacks
captain, is said to be the teams best
bet. Lewellen won some praise as a
strategist from his management Of
his team in the York encounter.
McGlasson, right tackle; Stoll. right
end, and Lewellen, quarterback,
form the trio of vets. The Lincoln
ties are in good shape and somewhat
chesty of their seasons record as
compared with the locals.
Prospects in the local camp are
not so dull as may be expected.
Chris Crowell said goodby to his
mates today, leaving Shafer, Logan
and Harper the only vets on the
team. His departure greatly weak
ems Centra's defense. The marks of
rough handling in the North Des
Moines game still appear on many
of the players. However. Lincoln is
more IN CentralS class IMAM the
Iowa team. which is one of the best
high school teams in the Missouri
Valley this year.
Coach Mulligan no longer has any
first team subs and will have to pro-
mote several players from the
second team to be on hand if any OF
the wearers of the purple are forced
to seek the sidelines.
Confidence in the team was in no
way weakened by the Des Moines
defeat. At a monster mass meeting
to celebrate the peace news yester-
day calls for the team and coach were
almost as numerous as no school
appeals.
A large crowd of rooters is pre-
pairing to journey to Lincoln Friday
by auto and by train,
