Exendine Shifts Regulars in
Preparation for Holy
Cross.

Using Holy Cross plays. the Geor-
getown scrubs defeated the Varsity
eleven by the score of to s. in a
gruelling scrimmage on the Hilltop
yesterday. Each team registered a
touchdown, but Plansky's field goal
from the thirty-five yard line put
the scrubs out in front.
Due to the erratic performance of
the eleven last Saturday. Coach Ex-
endine has shifted the team con-
siderably during the week and the
lineup decided upon at yesterdays
scrimmage was as follows: Flor
ence and King. ends; Comstock and
Sullivan, tackles: Thompson and
Sheehan, guards: Wertz. center:
Adams. quarterback: Flayin and
Lowe, halfbacks; and Kenyon full
back.
Capt. Comstock has been moved to
a tackle position. while Jack Flavin
has been shifted to a halfback post,
where he can render better service
as a running back. The quarterback
position is a toss-up between Adams
and Du Four Although Du Four
was the regular quarterback last
season, while Adams was third or
fourth on the list, the latter has i'm
proved considerably and had the call
over Du Four for the position in
yesterdays scrimmage. King will
play his first game, since the Gin.
cinnati contest, on Saturday.
Coach Exendine and his staff has
been pushing the team hard in pre-
paration for the Holy Cross game,
which always ranks as one of the
hardest fighting elevens in the East

Rival Complains Against Air Service Man and
Central High Loses Member Of Eleven;
Alumni Bitter.

One Of the most remarkabie cases
in the history of fnterscholastic ath-
letics here came to light yestsrday
when Vincent Plumpton withdrew
from the Central high school foot
ball squad.

pointment to Anna polls. and Is SO
anxious to reach his objective he Is
combining service duty with obtain
ing his preparatory education. Phys
ical training Is part of the official
curriculum in the high schools, so
when Plumpton was given choice
to obtain credits he picked football
and developed so speedily he has
been regular member. of the Cen
tral team which meets Tech next
Tuesday for the championship. So
interested are his fellow sailors at
the Anacostia Air Service over his
showing in the series they have
come over in goodly numbers to
cheer for the Central eleven.
Eligibility Established.

The news of the methods pursued

was bitterly resented at the school.
but Piumpton absolutely refused to
practice yesterday. declaring that
he would not disobey the order he
had received.
