grid schedule will be pred off this
morning at Redwood when the
Crimson clad warriors of Central
High clash with Admission High
squad, The game will be called at

The game is the first one on the
local teams list, and will give their
followers a chance to see what this
years team will do under fire.
Coach Stillworth will send practi-
cally a green line into the game.
There will be four new men and three
letter men in the forward wall, but
one of the vets will be playing an
entirely new position.
The center of the line will be taken
care of by Jim Smith, last years
guard, who has been changed to the
pivot. This lad has shown plenty Of
ability in practice. but it is not
known what he will do under fire.

by Yielding. of the 1920 team, and
Harvey Williamson, a new man who
has scrubbed for the past two sea-
sons.

by Bob Bowden, last years guard,

Lynch and Captain Holder will hold
down the wing positions.
The backfield quartet will be Hos

cided, but it viii most likely go to
Newton on account of his showing
in scrimmages the past week.

ten team, but 1t Is said to be a good
one, one that is likely to give the
Crimsons hard game.

GEORGA-CHICAGO
GAME FEATURE OF
CONFERENCE CARD

Chicago, October 6.-Football will
shoulder its way into the spotlight
in the midwest tomorrow when all
of the teams in the western confer
enee, except Illinois, swing into ae-
ton.
One of the most important games
will be the inter-sectional clash be-
tween Chicago and Georgia at Chi
eago.
The Georgians. with two victories
already marked up, threaten to
spring an upset. The Georgia back
field players are shifty and fast, and
the forward wall is regarded as one
of the strongest in the south.
The strength of the Chicago eleven
is problematical, as tomorrow's game
will be the first of the season, but
IL is thought the team will measure
up much stronger than last season.
Other contests tomorrow are;
Minnesota VS.. North Dakota al
Minneapolis.
Iowa VS.. Knox at Iowa City.
Wisconsin VS.. Charleton at Madison.
