~ will display their wares in
opening games this week end.
While Tech, Central, Eastern and
Western will take the field against
tough opponents, Business Highs
squad is due to stage the most
severe series of workouts it has
encountered thus far.
Tech and Eastern probably will OPP
pose the strongest combinations, and
their showing will give local high
school followers some idea of what
to expect from them in the inter
scholastic foot ball series. The
Manual Trainers will clash with Bal
timore City College on the latter's
grounds Friday. Eastern viii meet
Episcopal High at Alexandria Satur-
day, while Central will entertain
Alexandria High, in the Wilson sta
dunn, on the same day. Western has
not vet booked a game, but Coach
Cade promises to give his youngsters
some action against a local eleven
the latter part of this week.

$50 pounds, but at the first of the
season he was slow and lacked ag-

Tough Foe for Eastern.
When Eastern hooks up with Epis-
copal High it will meet one OF the
toughest foes to local high schools.
Coach Charley Guyon has improved
his squad considerably during the
past several days. His eleven Will

Westerns Chances Brighter.
Westerns chances to figure in the
interschola site foot ball series have
increased, now that Ray Sullivan and
Ray CARRIER are in the squad. The
former has been tried at end and

best kickers this fall. Watt was
consistently booting them for fifty

Ralph Hisle are striving for back
field jobs. while Charlet Newman is
out for quarterback. With so much
green material in prospect for the
backfield, Coach Kelly holds little
hope for prowess in this direction.
