SCHOOL TEAM IS
SANCUINE ON EVE
OF GRID BATTLE

Although Central high schools
football squad faces the possibility.
Of entering tomorrow s game against
Calexico under a considerable handi-
cap, Coach rmstrong is confident
that the team has sufficient power
to take the game from the border
boys.
The big handicap to Central is the
possible total loss of Bill Peters,
the husky fullback, and the best
ground gamer the team possesses.
Bill has Il bad arm, which he has
been carrying in a sling for u couple
of days this week, and even though
he may be able to start tomorrow s
game, it is doubtful if he will be
able to finish.
While this condition will not aid
Central any, Coach Armstrong has
a capable substitute to put in in the
person of Starr, and has high hopes
that Peters possible loss will not
prove an obstacle that cannot be
overcome.

the coach, "but it is getting better
