RIVAL COACHES
WANT TITLE
SETTLED
Tech and Western Mentors
Both Would Like to Have
Decision
By ROSS D. CONKLIN.


Western and Technical, joint hold.
ers Of the high school football
championship, may get together in
a. post season game and play Off
the tie. II that should be done, it
would have to be with the sanction
of the Board Of Education, which
at present has taboo on the play
ing off Of tie football games.
The Board of Education would,
in all probability, permit the play
ing of the game. IL the principals
OF both Technical and Western re-
quest such permission. Two mem
bers Of the Board have stated def
initely that they would like to see
the game played, because of the
intense rivalry for the title this
year.
Up at Technical, Coach Hap Har.
cell said that his team was anxious
to play Western. He said that after
the Tech Western game which was
tied TT, his men wanted to continue
the game and play until winner
had been determined. Such a pro-
cedure, was, Of course, impossible
Coach Danny Ahearn, at Western,
said that he personally would like
TO see the game played over. West
ern has several men suffering from
painful bruises and injuries, and
the team is not in the best of shape.
Western has two trips directly
ahead, and has full schedule, but
Coach Ahearn will not permit those
games to stand in the way of West
ems chances to win the title.
Saturday Western will play Char.
lotte. Hall, and after that trip
viii be taken to Manchester, N. ri.
to play the championship football
team Of that city.
The principals Of the school may
decide to get together and play off
the game. They viii confer some
TINA within the next few days.
Both Central and Western ran
true to form in their football game
in the Central stadium, which went
to Central by the score Of Is to 4.
Western was picked to win by the
smallest of margins. and the Red
and White did just that little thing.
Central, In spite of the closeness
of the score, was badly outrushed
and outplayed all during the game.
The Blue and White got a lucky
break when Jones picked up an
intercepted pass, but It took real
football for Mike Gordon, captain,
to put the ball over the line on the
next play.
