Central and Western, two Of the
three teams that remain in the
running for the high school football
championship, viii fight it out to-
morrow in the Wilson Memorial Sta
dunn with the battle starting at
8:15 o'clock.
This contest promises to produce
the big bang of a series that has
gone off like string of firecrack-
ers.
Just when the observers thought
themselves become immune to sur
prise, Tech gave emr all shock.
The Manual Trainers, switching
their strategy almost overnight, gave
Eastern the worst beating any team
has received in the series. "a to 0,
This was expected to be closely
contested game. Techs change OF
tactics completely fooled the Lincoln
Parkers.
The result leaves Tech in q
strategic position to win the cham
piOnshiD, and eliminates Eastern.
Should Central whip Wastern to-
morrow and Tech defeat Business
next Tuesday in the final game of
the series, Tech would gain un-
disputed possession of the title.
Should Western defeat Central and
Tech polish off Business. Tech and
Western would tie. They are dead
locked now in the standings, which

Tech set a series record by scor-

Tech took the opening kickoff
and ,paraded right on down the
field and across the goal, with
John Ritter making most OF the
gains. This yOungster circled the

In the outstanding gallop of the
game, Rabbit Florence ran 50 yards
to a touchdown after taking a
kickoff. He was aided by brilliant
interference.
Tech scored five touchdowns and
Captain Shaw Blackstone made
perfect kicks for all the extra
points, one of which was ruled out
because Tech was offside.
