CENTRAL MEN
IN SCRIMMAGE
Second Team Shows Up
Well Against Varsity.
Eastern Plans Two

Central Highs second team
showed up exceedingly well yester-
day in the hardest scrimmage of the
season. Against tentative varsity
the seconds plowed their way
through the line and worked the
forward pass with varying success.
Rauber, of the sophomore class, was
at fullback in the absence of Craig
Wilton, who is temporarily out
with an injury. Lamberton yano
Buckley, halfbacks, did some ground
gaining for the varsity, but did no
more than the backs on the second
team. Rand, quarterback. for the
seconds, made some of the varsity
sit up and take notice when he
carried the ball.
Nettekoven shows Up Well.
Nettekoven continues TO show up
well at right end for the varsity.
Yesterday he was everywhere at the
right time and once made a snake
finger" catch of a pass which he
took down the field for thirty
yards. giving the scrimmage an in
teresting aspect. Bill Lytell, guard
on last years eleven, tore through
the line, getting the man with the
ball on several occasions. Inlay.
the "big boy" of the squad. messed
up the opposition until he was
forced to retire on account of an in
jury to his shoulder.
Sylvan King helped Coach Metz
Ter with his linemen during the
afternoon as the mentor drilled the
backs and ends in.
Coach Wahoo, of Eastern High
School. has elected to put two teams
on the field in competition with the
other teams of the high schools.
TIE l35-pound team in question no
longer bothers the Fasteners, as
their mentor says that there will
be no trouble in playing in the linn
tied weight league. The unlimited
eleven will play through schedule,
most likely battling in the cham
pionship series as in other seasons.
Another surprise to high school fol-
lowers is the fact that Eastern-s
unlimited combination averages
around $50 pounds, a much larger
average than they boasted in 1919.
