Some pretty kicking should be in
order Friday. Jack Smith of Eastern
and Milly Price of Tech are two of
schools. Jacks brilliant booting in
the Western fray was a big factor
in his teams victory. Milly punted
well in the Central game. There are
whom Coach Guyon is counting
heavily. They are Tom Hook and
William Gladstone Roudabush, two
alert gridders who have starred thus
far.
There will be one other game in
the high school series this week.
Western, defeated by Eastern and
Tech, will encounter Business High
Tuesday, in Wilson Stadium. a vic
tory is looked for by the Georgetown
school. but since the Ninth Streeters'
startling win over Eastern, the
chances are that Western is due for
a tough game. Neither team has
much of a chance to figure in the
title running and a victory for West
ern would not menace Techs on
ward march.
Western this year has lost two
games, yet in each defeat has shown
occasional flashes of championship
eleven. While many breaks were
against it in both the Business and
Tech battles, Western used poor
judgment and seemed unable to make
use of it's real strength. The George
town school gained much more yard
age than Eastern and threatened
Techs goal several times, but the
scoring punch was lacking.
High school foot ball thus far has
been brimful of upsets. No one eX-
pected Business to triumph over
Eastern and quite a few of our al
legged experts picked Central to win
over Tech. Eastern rudely smashed
the dope when it downed Western.
The only forecast that proved cor
rect was Centrars trouncing of East
ern.
