Eastern Is counting on Tom Hook
to do large share OF ball carrying
against the Manual Trainers. The
Eastern player is well versed at
picking holes but he may find that
job a tough one. too. if the Techites
present line as formidable "a last
years. Eastern always has attempt
ed to employ an overhead attack
against its high school foes, and
there is every chance that Coach
Guyon already has instructed his
charges to try that system sagainst
the Maroon and Gray. High school
followers will recall how Eastern tri-
umphed over Western last year main
ly because 1t was successful with the
overhead heaves.
1t will be highly essential for each
team to win. for defeat In the brief
ten-game series usually means that
the conquered team is out OF the run
ming. Coaches Hardell of Tech and
Guyon of Eastern are of the opinion
that Fridays victor will be benefited
psychologicaily. too. Coach Guyon
hopes TO schedule a practice game
Tuesday. in order to whip his team
in shape for Tech.
Guyon Comedies Tech Chance.
'Tech has a better chance to win"
will place a team on the field that
will give II a battle"
Guyon has not selected his first
string eleven yet, while Hardell al
ready has a fair idea of the players
he will use Friday. Dodson, Wond-
rack, Zahn, Parsons, Jones, Johnson
kessler and Galotta are showing up
we'll in the backfield, and Negus, Jett.
Moreland and Turner are impressing
at the wing positions. There is
possibility that Robby Pugh. the last
athlete of the "house of Pugh" at
Tech. will play center Friday. Then,
too, Rice may receive the choice.
Followers of Tech believe that an
other Charley Pugh has been dis
covered in Reverly Jones. who is IN
the Maroon and Gray squad for the
first time. They think he is a conner.
Jones tips the scales at l4S pounds
and can run faster than any back in
the squad. In fact. he possesses
what is known in the pariance or
sport as foot ball instinct.
Since its victory over Dewitt Prep,
Central Highs eleven has taken a
now lease on life and the dope now
runs that the Blue and White Will
be represented in the series by q
frst-rate team. Central's backfield
school contenders Gordon, Will
liams, Engle and Wilmer are perform
ing in veteran fashion, especially the
first two mentioned, who are well
onto the knaok of skirting the ends
and receiving passes. F1shback and
Van Meter are the bulwarks in the
line.
Central will strive to keep its win
column inviolate when 1T tackles
Swavely Prep Thursday in the Blue
and White Stadium. The Swavely in
stitution now is located at Manassas,
Va, from where reports have filtered
through that the team Is anything
but weak. If the rival high school
coaches desire to get line on Cen
trails reported prowess, they had bet
ter attend the tilt Thursday.
Inelixible xridder. are going to
play havoc with Business in it's initial
start in the series, October Il, when
the formidable Western combination
is encountered. Coach Woodwork
reports that more than half of his
nlayers will be unable to perform
against the Georgetown school. Dur
SO, Stewart and Silverstone are ell
efble, though, and they are giving good
accounts of themselves. IT Business
is to present a star in this years
series, the chances are he will be Stew
