BOTH TEAMS
PERFECT WORK

Deaance and Parkside, city sec
tIonal rivals in the field of sport
each with two wins and no defeats
a,d tied FOR the lead in the Whining
TON Football Association, Will come
To grips in the premier struggle Of
the local grid season on Saturday al
Harlan Field. The fact that the
teams deadlocked for the coveted po-
sltion to the race for the Associa-
toms championship is but one OF
tho many phases pointing to what i'
expected 10 be one OF the most CRU
citing erudge battles between these
ancient foes. The stage is all set and
the actors are putting on the nm
ishing touches in their rehearsals for
the. big stunt.
Although the Bulldogs, with the
greater part OF a combination that
has been together since knee trou-
ser. DAYS and with Coach Charlie
welsh at the helm. are given credit
for being a smart aggregation, the
game should be a battle OF wits as
much as anything else. Parkside has
two clever football men handling the
squad in COachescrothers ndFoulk.

There is no doubt that Defiance

Team play is one OF their main
fortes. years OF playing together by
Tenth Warders perfecting this highly
necessary article in successful foot
ball TO the greatest degree.
with this strong point in their
favor the Bulldogs also have several
stars. who work very well with their
sauad and who will have 10 be watch
ed at all times. "Bruz" Lowell. who
was first string quarter with Della
ware in several games this season,
is back with Defiance with the fell
lows he played with for years.
'Bruz'' Is a triple threat man with
ms ability TO pass. kick and run tho
ball. but he has a mate or two in this
ali-around department who add
power and deception to the Bull
dogs. Chief among these Is Lex Gill
lespie rated as one OF the best full
backs around these parts last year.
Lex IS known for his educated toe, |
his ability at kicking being his !
strongest point, but he can run and |
pass the ball along with the best Of

which should be very efficient on the
defense. Coach Crothers has
schooled his squad during the past
week in some new plays which will
be sprung on Saturday uncovering
some deception which was not CALI
ed on 10 any grea extent against
the Cats.
The Parkers have also perfected
their teamwork to a great extent
and they also have their stars TO
scintillate across the gridiron, al

loose in some spectacular play. The
