comes, needs trial and disappointment
to Introduce her to herself. Character

How Football Looked
to John Bull

When the A. E. F. was busy
with its football overseas, two
Yankee eleyens played in Lon
don. A great throng of British
ers turned out to witness the
sport, and remained until the
end A staff Of crack reporters
was assigned to cover" the
event, and about twenty thousand
persons, including the dough-
boys, were there. The British
reporters invaded the field, and
il was not until several had been
bowled over that they retreated
to the safety of the side lines.
The following day the papers
carried a rather garbled account
of what happened. One paper
described the events as follows:
"The men battered each other
with good humored abandon.
Every one was tied into knots AS
the ball came out of serum, nut
all enjoyed 1t, evidently. Ameri-
can football is a sort of eros
between rugby and manslaughter
There were no casualties"

WESTERNS LADS

Tech High will outweigh western
IN today's battle at Central High
stadium by from eight to ten pounds
per man. Upon this factor Tech is
depending upon defeating the boys
from across the creek.
Both teams make no secret OF the
assumption that the high school title
depends upon today's contest, for both
teams are confident of being able to
stop Central this year.
If both teams are right today a hot
battle can be expected. Techs team
has won all its games this season,
and while Western has been an in
and-outer the Red and White lads
have generally come through in the
games which count.
AS far as scoring ability is con-
cerned the teams stack up fairly well,
although the style OF play is vastly
different. Tech counts upon line
smashing plays, while Western has
been romping around the ends in
games so far.
At the start OF the season Tech got
away with Eastern by SO to 6. West
ern in the two high-school battles de-
feated Business by IS to and East
ern by % to o.
Practically the same teams that
have been working this season will
start today. Tech has gained Jim
Pugh and F. Berger. Western, on the
other hand. has lost Bernie Gormley
Delbert Wells and Allan Welliver
who played in the back field and on
the ends.
