Central Highs foot ball team should
run up a big score against Business
tomorrow. The Blue and White.
while it is sure to meet sterner op-
position than was given Tech when
the latter played the Stenographers.
ought not to encounter much difficult
ty in winning by anywhere from 80 to
SO points.
Metzler has turned out another fine
team at Central and Western and
Technical are the only other scholas-
tic combinations in the section which
seem 10 have anything like an even
chance against his men. Central has
a heavier eleven than usual. and 1T is
we'll drilled in fast open tactics.
There is more experience in the per-
sonnel than usual. and the squad as
a whole is composed OF better material
than has been found for some time at
Central.
1t is no secret that Metzler believes
his team il going to win the high
school championship. He is not run
ming around the streets shouting that
opinion to everybody. but neverthe-
less that is exactly what he thinks.
And Metzler has perfect right TO
have confidence in his ability to turn
out winning elevens. as that has
come to be customary with him at
Central
Central and Business meet in the
Central stadium. and the contest is
scheduled to begin at O'Clock.
Western High has in Burke and
Spille two men who stand out among
the best players so far developed.
The former is running the eleven,
calling signals and bossing it gener-
ally. and the latter is playing tackle.
Burke is hard runner for a man no
heavier than he is, and Spille is good
on both defensive and offensive. And
saying that he is a capable offensive
player is giving him praise which
can be given to about one scholastic
1ineman out of a hundred.
That Coach Exendine is dissatisfied
with the work of Ahearn and Smeach
at tackles is shown by the fact that
both have been shifted to be second
string linemen and the firSt-string
positions given to Tom Sullivan and
O'Connen. Neither Ahearn nor
speed and general activity in the po-
sit;ons 10 make Exendine think he is
good enough to hold the jobs regu-
larly.
There are three Sullivans in the
lineup of the Georgetown team
Harry, Jimmy and Tom. And as any
other Sullivan. or O'Sullivan. as the
name is in its correct form, would
say. they are all fighters from the
heart. Georgetown would be much
weaker were it without Harry, Jimmy
and Tom.
Gallaudet and Catholic University
are making every second of their
practice time count this week in prep
aration for their annual game Satur-
day. The Kendall Greeners hope to
put one across on the Brooklanders,
H. 1t
into the won column for the first time
this season. Both teams are sure to
have their greatest strength in the
line-ups, as their squads are in good
physical condition.
Maryland States squad leaves here
tonight for New Haven, where Yale
is to be met Saturday. The Maryland
erS have very little idea of what they
should be able to accomplish. 1t is
not known whether or not Nisbet
and Mackert. regular tackles, will be
able to start. In fact, 1t is very
doubtful if they will. If they can di-
vide the game between them. each
playing a half, and Edel can stick
through the whole contest the Mary
1anders will be lucky. Otherwise the
defense of the team is going to suf-
fer. Nineteen players. Manager Gro
ton and the coach will make up the
party leaving for New Haven to-
night.

varsity men in the lineup, played
Camp Meade at College Park. The
Camp Meade aggregation was made up
almost entirely of former college
players The State team scored four
touchdowns in the first half and then
turned the game over to the freshmen
eleven. The first year aggregation
scored two more touchdowns and had
one counted against them. The final
score was 80 to 6.
