SCHOOL TEAMS
To APPEAR IN
SNAPPY. GAMES
Eastern, Business, Central,
Western, and Tech All Listed
For Engagements.

High school football teams are listed
for several important weekend en-
gagements. Friday the third game Of
the titular series will be run off in
the Central stadium when Western
and Tech meet. The manual trainers
will make their debut.
Business High will tackle the Mt.
St Joseph's eleven here on Saturday,
while Eastern goes TO Philadelphia to
play the Roman Catholic High School
team.
Central is scheduled to go to Win
chester, Va, TO meet the Shenandoah
Valley Academy eleven in what prom
ises TO be a first-class game.
While Tech has not appeared in the
title games as yet the opinion OF those
who have Witnessed the two battles
played is that Western and Business
are somewhat below the standard of
Eastern and Central.
Techs appearance on Friday will
give the fans a line on all of the
elevens. Tech will greatly outweigh
Western, which managed to squeeze

New York Athletic Club, who Is per.
haps the best foilsman In the United
States. Last year, for the first time

been on the injured list, will be ready
for action by tomorrow. Other than
this the squad is in fairly good shape.
Some of the players, particularly Cap
tain Kane, are tender and need TO be
nursed along a bit.
Rush Line Backward.
Saturday didn't come up to expecta-
tons. The offense of the rush line
was again disappointing. The line
seemed not to have learned anything
from coaching. The forwards did not
go ahead as II they meant business.
They were slow to start. and when
they did move, failed to put their
opponent out of play.
The defense OF the line was not
half bad, and as in the Indian game
they constantly hurried the opposing
punter, forcing him to hurry his
kicks. and furnishing breaks for the
Crimson when some alert Harvard
man blocked the ball.
Roscoe Fits repeated practically
the same performance Saturday that
Gehrke did against Indiana when he
found blocked kick coming right
self and the goal line.
Harvard used the forward pass with
little success Saturday. At the most
only two OF a dozen forwards We're
successfully completed. Coach Fisher
evidently has come to the conclusion
that he has a team that will be prac-
tically helpless within ten yards of an
opponents goal line, leaving out the
possibility of drop kicking. and has
therefore decided to make use of the
pass more than ever.
Pass Work Is Ragged.
The work in this respect was
ragged, but should be improved on
within a very short time. Harvard
has the baseball players to make
success of the aerial. Quarterback
Buell. is an infielder. while Jenkins.
owen and Gehrke have all had con-
dsierable diamond experience. Ma
comber and Fits on the ends are also
first.rate ball players. This will help
considerably in making the pass
plays go.
The difficult drop kick made by
Karl Pfsffman demonstrated that
Fisher has another kicking ace that
he can call into action IL needs be.
Pfaffman seems to be even better than
Buell., but the season is still young
and he may not be able to stand the
pace.
Coach Fisher is availing himself of
the assistance of former Head Coach
Percy Haughton, who has been to
the Stadium more times this fall than
all last year.
The Harvard team still plays the
ball, and for this reason has received
more than its share of breaks the
past few seasons. The Crimson is
ever alert for a fumbled ball or
blocked kick, and nine times out of
ten gets possession when such a mis-.
hap does occur, even when "a liar-
ward man is at fault.

Prender for all his hundred and

over-officiated, hotly debated session
which found two high school elevens
not quite up To snuff.
Punts Were Poor.
Central won because Eastern could
not punt and because 1t got breaks
which counted at the right time. East
ern was defeated because II was with
out one OF it's main cogs and because
IL lost another important lineman
who was guilty. of some misguided but
well directed pugilistic effort,
The game was hard fought. When
Prender returned the first kick off at
the start of the game and punted a
short one, Eastern took the defensive
and produced stuff enough to repulse
Central on the brink OF the goal line
twice In the first period. The effort
wore out the Capitol Hill youngsters
more than 1t did Central. Eastern
was forced again TO spend itself In a
heroic stand in repulsing the Central
plunges but succumbed at last.
Eastern's poor punung and a pen
atty which took the ball to the five
yard line paved the way for Central 6

Eastern twice recovering forward
