scheduled to meet a formidable out
side team this week, the coaches aim
to select their firSt-string elevens.
Central will be put to a severe test
when it tackles Dewitt Prep tomor-
row in the Blue and White stadium.
Coach Mike Kelly announced yester-
day that he would use the following
players: Wilmer, Gordon. Williams
and Engle, backs; Bying and Lotus,
ends: Van Meter and Fishback,
tackles: Atherton. Murphy. Leroy and
Blackstone, guards, and Hale, center.
should Extend Dewitt.
On its showing in scrimmage last
week Central should extend Dewitt
Prep. Notwithstanding the fact that
the latter has mustered several for
mer high school athletes. In Gordon
and Williams, Coach Kelly believes
he has the cleverest backs in the high
schools. These youngsters are eff
cient ball carriers. and they are as
fleet as any of the rival backs. II
Dewitt Prep produces the X. Q. to
Central it will be due to the latter's
mediocre strength in the line, accord
ing to those who have watched the
Blue and White in scrimmage.
Business High faltered in a scrim-
mage match with Dewitt Prep, mainly
because it's line broke under severe
attack. Coaches Kelly of Central and
Woodwork of Business are worried
more with their lines than their backs
The inability of their youngsters to
plunge and tear holes in the oppo-
nents defense is proving a source of
much bother to both.
Show Some Strength.
Although the Stenographers failed
to triumph over GonZaga in their first
q liSn nloH ynA
casional flashes of strength. They
held their rivals scoreless for two
periods and showed frequent ability
to advance the pigskin. The Ninth
streeters are to journey to Manassas,
Va, Friday for game with Swavely
Prep. Stewart, Silverstone, Cooper
man. Durso, Block and Klamp are
likely to play in the backfield, with
Taylor and Grossberg at the ends.
Cummings. Deegan, May, Shreves,
Tew and kammerer probably will get
chance in the line.
The first scrimmage against Dew
lit Prep was a dismal failure, but
Business displayed greater ability in
the second practice with the prepara-
tory school," Coach Wood Wood
worth of the Ninth street institution
declares. Before Business makes its
initial appearance in the 1924 high
school championship series 1t will op-
pose the St. Johns College gridders
on October 16 at the Monument
Grounds.
Scholastic fans are manifesting
deal of interest in the University of
Maryland freshmen-EaStern practice
game Thursday a College Park. The
Old Line yearlings are reported to be
quite formidable. as they have a
bunch of former high school stars in
their lineup. Olds. Charley Pugh,
Adams and Brown. who played with
Tech Highs championship team last
year, and Doerr and Jack Smith of
the 1928 Eastern team and Welchel
of last years Western comb ination
are in the Maryland squad.
Eastern is shaping up pretty well,
although / am not yet satisfied with
the forward wall" Coach Guyon said.
THE line needs to improve consider
ably and our ends are by no means
onto their game. There is too little
action, as well as slow thinking,
among the linemen."
Up to the present time Schaefer
and Crump have revealed an aptitude
for kicking. Tom Hook, Joe Sweeney
Gregory, Heeke, Radice, Kessler. Glib
son and Crump are striving for back
field jobs. Dinty Hughes, Schaefer,
Edwards, Hogge. Silverman and
Heintz compose the best line mate
rial. Howard and Walters have been
playing ends. Parker is in line for a
position in the backfeld or the line.
Judging from it's work thus far,
