ENSLEY TO BATTLE
 PHILLIPS, ON FRIDAY ime-Honored Foes To Settle Deadlock Dispute
 Of Season Back In Big Scrap

Ensley and Phillips, time-nonored rivals on the gridiron from ancient times, face each other in the second of the Big Three" battles for the su- premacy of city schools next Friday aft ernoon at 2 80 o'clock, the selected spot for the unleashing of the football fury of the two elevens being Redwood field.
 Down through local gridiron history, Ensley and Phillips, or at least Central, as the latter was known in the days back, have fought and fought, and then fought some more, before their strug- gles reached a decision. And just q season back, a decision was never reach ed, even though the rivals uncovered all the viciousness and ferocity of their re- spective natures for so gruelling min utes to decide the honors.
 Tie Last Season
 If memory serves alright, the Phillips Crimson, with an eleven which had gone through an undefeated season, and which was rated as one of the greatest prep combinations of all times, locally speaking, went into the Ensley fracas with a big margin, as far as the dope bucket was able to gather. Then, when the Jackets had beaten the big Crimson d deadlock resulted.
 Now, Duck Stillwell, of Phillips, pro- claims that history repeats itself. The Jackets, running through heavy grid menus with success coming on every side, has every reason in the world to anticipate a victory over their time honored foes. In fact, Ensley fans could hardly be blamed for already start ing the bon-fires of victory. And then, along comes Duck. This Stillwel person calmly states that, in this season of up- sets, when on every hand the under-dog is issuing forth with louder bark than expected and biting great hunks of glory from the beasts of foes who seemed destined to continue great winning streaks, when the proud banners of vic torious elevens have come down with thuds which have resounded throughout the gridirol world-well, he simply says that Crimson-clad eleven is due to pull off some upsetting of it's own. It will really be great upset, should the Grim sons come through, but then upsets are getting to be far more popular in these days of few undefeated machines.
 Elevens To Work Hard
 This week will witness some hard work for the two prep elevens who will settle their dispute of long standing Friday. Cannon Ball' White, of the Jackets, and Duck Stillwell Phillips, will send their charges through the daily grind with vengeance, and their task of getting some real hard work will likely be easy. The two squads, with the Ensley- Phillips scrap to spur them on, will unleash all the pep in their natures and undoubtedly will come up to the Friday battle in great shape.
 Neither eleven has played since Ar mistice Day, when the Jackets whipped Sidney Lanier for the first time the Poets have received licking on their home lot in quite spell. The Crimsons journey to Florida and gave way before the great Duval High, of Jack sonville, in scrappy exhibition. This gives the local aggregation 10 days in which to prepare and get into shape for the big struggle.
 Quite A Few Stars
 There will be quite a few local stars who will face each other in the big offering Phillips has Captain San ford. Anderson.
