during the week both teams have been
put through hard scrimmages, and many
new plays have been instilled in the
teams by their respective coaches, Hun
ter and Peden. Thus far this year the
two high school teams have resorted to
the open field game, n/ther centering
their efforts in heavy line plunges.
1t Is expected that this type of play
will predominate on Saturday, and that
the substantial gains will probably all
be made ON wide end runs and long
aerial passes.
Wheatstone, Radnor quarterback,
who has proved himself a worthy gen.
eral, will be tightly pressed by Durm,
the elusive and crafty general Of Lower
Merion's grid team.
Many Scalps
Radnor has a veteran team that has
made one of the best records that a
Radnor High School team ever made on
the gridiron.
The scalps of Lansdowne High, Ber-
wyn High, Haverford School, and Chel-
tenham were dangling at the girdles of
the Radnor warriors when they added
the most worthy Of all, that of the un-
defeated Bryn Athyn team last Friday.
The only stain on Radnor's record is the
setback that Penn Charter administered

field.
Wednesday night the Lower Merton
first and second teams engaged in q
vigorous scrimmage in spite of the bad
weather conditions. This will probably
be the last heavy practice Of the season:
Bad weather and the fact chat Powell
and Kilpatrick received slight injuries
In the Narberth game slightly retarded
practice this week, but all players will
be in prime condition for the game on
Saturday.
Lichty, who probably will substitute
for Lower Merton at quarterback, Is a
very good fast open field runner. He
has been out of practice for a while
as the result Of an injury sustained in
practice.
The line will be backed up by Booz,
strong man at center, and Kilpat-
rick at fullback. Durham, the quarter :
back, il cool headed and is a good run =
ner. Although he is a freshman, he Is
an excellent player. Quinn and Cap
tain Powell, the two halfbacks, are
both fast and good at defense.
One of Lower Merion's best substi- :
tute ends Is Vanneman. McCreary and
Gaffney are fine at getting in under
plays.

to the Main Line boys early in the sea
son. Radnor has team which is
well-rounded enough to carry through
any type of attack but which has spe-
cialized on the forward pass to advance
the ball. This game has been worked
up to perfection by the schoolboys and
has been a feature of every game that
Radnor has gone into this season.
The Radnor backficld is a powerful
organization with no weak points but
lots of strong ones. Wheatstone Is a
clever open field runner and both the
halfbacks, Avil and johnson are adept
at rounding the ends or cracking the
line. Captain Ferry, at fullback, is
the outstanding figure both on defense
and offense, for he plays the leading
part in the starting end of the Radnor
aerial attack.
The Radnor ends come in for a great
deal of credit in this connection, for
Murphy and Scherr make pair of
wingmen that would be hard to beat in
local ranks. Murphy will bear watch :
ing, for his work at end has been about
the best that any wingman has ex-
hibited in scholastic games in these
parts. Harbaugh and Provost are a
pair of 160- pound tackles.

BRITAIN WILL FIGHT
STRIKERS TO FINISH
Ready for Drastic Action and
Throws Down Gauntlet
to Miners.

london, Sept. l3.-1'he British Gov
cnmcnt has been forced TO assume the
offensive in the coal mining situation. 1t
has issued its challenge to the miners.
They must back down on their demand
or they will be fought with every resource
nj the Government command.
Decision TO force the issue WAS ar-
rived at following the sensational dis
closure Of Robert Smi'lie's attempt to
bring about simultaneous strike of
American and British coal miners. While
the Government feels that Smillies
proposal for an International under
standing 10 be followed by joint action
would not get far with American workmen,
il WAS Just this disclosure of Smilhe's
program that brought the fight out into
the open and persuaded the cabinet to
offer no more conciliatory suggestions.
The strike" declared Sir Robert
Horne. Minister of Labor, lis newt
able.
The Government IS ready for the
strike when il comes. 1t has been pre-
paring for months. Arrangements for
dealing with transportation problems
sure 10 arise, and the movement of
household supplies and necessities, have
been made IN advance. A national re-
striction on the use of food such as sugar,
meat. bacon. Hour and milk, will go into
effect Immediately the strike is declared.
IL is pointed out that Smillies tactics
have reached international scope. and
that all Europe will be affected by the
miners action. Consequently the Gov
eminent feels II can temporlze no longer.
