Central's team will be held out of
from Principal Robert A. Maurer.
Tech and Western appear to have
gone on different assumptions as TO
the weight OF the 135-pound team.
Central has n large bunch OF boys
working ont. IT is reported. but Is
unwilling to put them in competition
basis OF weight.
1t seems that there are several
ways of forming the 135-pound team
and that nothing definite has bocn
agreed upon.
Principal Maurer sought to gain
Information from other high school
principals as to their conceptions OF
the 335-pound class teams. He was
unable to gain the desired inforins-
ton and instructed his adviser TO
hold out for a definite agreement.
Techs team is said to have several
boys on TIE team who weigh more
than l35 pounds. Westerns team il
said TO average considerably less than
l35 pounds. with no boys on the Squad
weighing more than 135 pounds.
Central is said to be able to place
almost any weight eleven on the field,
but wants to know just what weight
eleven the others are going to play
before putting the team in competi-
ton.
Techs stock in football has risen
perceptibly during the week. The
fact that IStaunton Military Academy
just defeated Tech and only on grab
bing one of Techs forward passes for
along run apd touchdown, is making
Tech bpt fAyprite in the coming
gagements.
. Tech slumped badly against the
Marine Preps, but came back Satur-
day in fine style, playing the Staun-
ton lads to a standstill.
The Army and Navy Props have
scored two wins already and look
good enough to give any of the high
schools a first-class battle. The team
is fairly well balanced and is improv-
ing steadily under Coach Newberrys
tutelage.
The Props are lighter and younger
this season than they have been in
many years.
Those who saw Western perform
against Eastern the other day believe
the Red and White was holding back.
After scoring two touChdowns against
Eastern, Western took it easy, being
content to come in under the wire
with comfortable win.
The u. S. Senate Props have Clark,
former Georgia Tech star coaching
them now. They have arranged
games with several of the local
schools and expect to have first
class season. The team averages 40
pounds and Is fast.
William Hunt is captain and mana
ger and would like to hear from
District teams. He can be reached
at the Senate Office Building, Main
312O, Branch sos.
The games arranged so far are as
follows:
October 10, Tech High School: 90
tobeI "a, Trinity Preps; October 26,
Business High School; November ..
Western High School: November 10,
Frederick Preps; November 20. Gem
trail High SCHOOL,; November 25,
Briarly Hall Military Academy.
When Tech and Central agreed to
stage their big game this year on No
vember "a the Tech lads retained the
option OF playing the Central lads in
some other place than the stadium.
Tech believes IL is handing Central
too much to perform annually on tho
Central playground. 1t is said that
the Tech authorities will ask Central
to play elsewhere this season.
Eastern and Business are expected
TO furnish a flrst-class battle shortly.
with Eastern favored TO win. The
Capitol Hill lads are working hard
under Coach Guyon.
They have a fast team, and while
their average Is little more than
135 pounds, they are hoping to give
the heavier business lads licking.
