HIGH SCHOOL LADS
HAVE HARD GAMES
Commerce, Clinton, Stuyvesant
and Morris Meet Strong
Elevens Tomorrow.

Yesterday was a busy day in the camps
OF scholastic football teams in Manhat-
tan and The Bronx. With each OF the
four teams from these boroughs scheduled
to play its stiffest game OF the season
tomorrow, each held its final hard
workout yesterday. All four teams will
rest to-day.
OF the four, Commerce will receive the
stiffest test. The Orange and Blue Ia
scheduled to play Poly Prep. champions
OF Brooklyn, on the Catholic Protectory
Grounds at Van Nest Not since 1914.
when the teams met in their initial con-
test, has Commerce been able to beat the
Brooklynites. The best the Manhattan
lads could do against tho Dyker Heights
lads was to hold them to a ecoreless tie
| in 1914. In 1915 the Orange and Blue
lost to Poly Prep 10 to 0, and the follow
ing year met defeat by the same score.
Last year Commerce received Its worst
lacing at the hands of the Brooklynites
when it lost to the private school boys
| 81 to o.
Coach Buck" o'Neil, who is handling
| the Orange and Blue elevens this year Is
anxious to beat the Brooklyn team. and
has drilled his charges specially for this
game. In yesterdays practice at Cen
trail Park O'Neil put the lads through a
| stiff scrimmage with the Hamilton lnsti-
tute until darkness sent the lads to the
dressing rooms. The practice consisted
mostly of line plunging with an occa-
| sional end run.
Another eleven which will have no
| easy time with its opponent tomorrow
| is Morris, which clashes with Flushing,
! Queens Borough title holders, on the
Long islanders gridiron at Flushing
Coach William Gaylor of Morris put the
| Maroon and White through its final
practice yesterday at Van Cortlandt
Park and the lads appeared to be In
| tip top form. Last year Norris beat
Flushing 10 to 6. but 1t is doubtful
| whether or not they can repeat that
performance tomorrow. That was the
only decision Morris ever got over the
| Long Island boys. In 1917 the teams
played to a scoreless tie, while In 1914
and 1915 Flushing beat Morris.
Clinton, which is to tackle White
Plains in White Plains, will have It's
hands full with the Westchester boys.
The Red and Black. will meet much
stronger eleven tomorrow than 1t did
last year, when Clinton beat the White
Plains boys by % to 0. White Plains
beat Morris last Friday 80 to 0. Will
lam Cook, Clinton's coach. declared
| after the practice yesterday that his
team was never in better shape.
New Rochelle, which is touted as hav-
ing it's strongest eleven in years, VIII
be met by Stuyvesant on New Rochelle's
field. 1t will mark the first time that
these two teams have come together
Coach Chick" Saltman Of Stuyvesant
has a fair team this season and is con-
fident that the Dutchmen will come out
on the long end of the score. The East
side team scrinmisged with the second
string men yesterday on the school held
and showed much improvement over its
play OF last Saturday. when the New
Workers. were beaten by the South Side
lads of Newark.
II Galbraith of Clinton and Hassnott
of Erasmus Hall continue to play in the
form they have been displaying of late,
IL will be a toss up between the pair
at the close of the season for the posi-
ton of all-acholastlc fullback. Both
lads have been doing great work for
their respective schools at this post.
Bob Nolen, Hamilton Institutes foot
ball manager, announced yesterday that
he has arranged another intersectional
game for his team. The Blue and Red
will play Rosenbaum School OF Milford,
Conn, on the Polo Grounds, November
IA. This is the second out of town
contest arranged by Nolen.
