TECH HUNGRY
TO MEET FOE
Neither Team in TomorrOw'S
Island Contest Has Met
Defeat This Year

One of the largest crowds of the
season is expected over on the Island
tomorrow afternoon when the Ma
room football squad will oppose the
team representing Williamson Trade
School of Philadelphia. 1t will be the
sixth contest played by Tech, and
will likely be the sixth victory. To
date, Tech has not lost a contest, nor
has the goal line been crossed. The
visitors, too. have been fortunate in
not losing a contest. But indications
are that they will have their record
broken following their visit to this
city.
Many football fans are planning to
see the game tomorrow afternoon
in order to get a line on the Tech
team for Thanksgiving, and at the
same time the contest will serve to
whet the appetites of many of
the others. 1t is likely that the re-
serves will aslo play. The probable

Miske has been charged with
evading Dempsey, but on several
occasions he stated that he would be
