Four High Schools
To Play This Week
business Makes Bow Before
Central Tomorrow-West-
ern W. Tech.

The initial appearance Of Business
whom II faces Central at the =. n.
Wilson stadium tomorrow and the
|elimination Of either Tech or West
efn from the championship tussle
when they meet Friday are the out
standing fixtures Of this weeks high
school football schedule.
Seven years ago an unusually
capable Business team upset Cen
trail. but since then all meetings Of
the teams have contributed to .
succession Of Central victories. Thii
record. together with Csntrars
sweeping victory over Western last
week. makes the Mount Pleasant
eleven q pronounced favorite--that
10 II there 10 ever any real 5ustifica-
tion for q decided choice In high
school footbal1-so uncertain ID
often the work Of favored squads.
Under the direction Of Coach
Kelley. Business has had ~ gradual
an improvement a. any entrant In
the set, but that the team has yet
reached teh stage that II can turn
back Central IL not believed among
those who have followed the season
closest. Business has In Watt. Main,
Chaconas. Donovan and Simpson q
string of backs that compare well
with the other schools talent. but
the line has not yet developed suf-
iciently to Justify the feeling that
II viii be able to handle the for
wards who sank the Western ship.
Line-up L. Uncertain.
Uncertainty prevails at Central ~
to just how the eleven will start
Not since 1919 had Central scored
on Western until Tuesdays victory
and the coaches lost not q day In
trying to impress upon all ranks
that overconfdence and self-satis-
faction would have no part in this
falls campaign.
The school won many friends by
its performance, but that the COM
petition for the positions 10 still on
the much advertised wide open
status was shown by the fact that
six changes were made in the line
up the first practice Wednesday.
Capt. Rauber. whose recent Illness
forced him to leave the field after
the opening half against Western
and turn over the leadership to
Casey as acting captain. will not
aad his team tomorrow. In an
| effort to have the captain against
Tech on November Z. Rauber has not
even been allowed to put on a uni
form since Western was beaten. 80
Worley will play quarterback. Both
tackles and a guard have been
changed. while in sthe backfeld
Birthright. Gordon, Brinkman, Rand
and Allie Johnson have been shifted
through the positions, Alden John
son still suffering fro m bruises
from last Tuesday.
Squad Diseipinea.
Law and order has been the key
note of the coaching at Central this
fall and the chances are that the
definite lineup for tomorrow will
not be known until after practice
today.
There IL . wide difference of opin-
ion as to the probable winner OF
the Friday game. While Western
wes downed by Central and Tech
won from Eastern by q lone touch
down. there Is little definite upon
which to base a selection of the
probable winner.
1t would appear as though the
game will turn on the performances
Of the linemen. Tech has a we'll
balanced backfield that should gain
ground IL the forwards can dispose
Of their opponents as did Central in
the battle of the first half last week
when Western had ample opportu-
nifty to score. The Tech forwards
stood up under the Eastern attack.
but in the meantime Western has
gone of to herself to practice and
may be primed when she goes into
action next Friday
