West Virginia has some fine backs
in Albert big Sleepy" Glenn, Mar
shall Little Sleepy" Glenn and
Larue. All three are expected to
be foremost in the fray today.
The ends, Keefer, Hagbsrg and
Garrett,s are strong and fast and
kee1er is an adept at pulling down
forward passes.
The tackles, Brewster. Scott and
''Buich" Nixon are big fellows of
the real mounea:neer type. tall and
rsrgy and decidedly muscular. They
nCre than held their own against
Latayette's veterans.
There should be great battle in
the middle of the line where the
two captains, Latham and Grigsby,
will oppose each other. The Hill.
top leader is quite the best de-
fensiVe player in his line. His
work against West Virginia last
year was one of the bright lights
of the day. Latham matches him
in sturdy, intelligent strength and
both should be right busy today.
The usual college turnout will be
seen. Each eleven will have a
band and a noisy cheering section
whooping 1t up. Some 1900 stud.
ents and friends have come down
from MorEanstown to root for Ira
Rodgers outfit and they will do
their best to surpass the Hilltop

TECH TEAM
GL|STENS
By George A. Simpson

BY George A. Simpson
Tech High has another powerful
football eleven. This was indicated
yesterday afternoon when the Man.
ual Trainers toppled Eastern. 30,
in the opening interhigh titular
game. The Techites used a sweep.
ing attack to rout the Lincoln
Parkers, who flashed signs of
power but once.
Captain kriemeImeyer, Florence
Mills and Ward Oehmann were the
bright stars for the victors. Krie-
but was a bulwark behind the line
of scrimmage. He repeatedly
nailed the ball carrier with vicious
tackles.
Mills and Florence attended
to the ground gaining chores
for the Techites. Mills dis.
played uncanny ability in dOdg.
ing his way through an open
field. He also was rather pro-
ficient in heaving forward
passes.
Florence was a ripping, slashing
plunger, and when he rammed the
Eastern midriff, he invariably car
ried two or three Eastern players
before he was finally stopped.
Techs greatest asset, though,
was it's magnificent interference
formed for all the ball-carrier. The
end, tackle and guard on the op.
posite flank would swirl around as
advance guards and Eastern found
1t impossible to check this play.
Capt. Frank Holland and Tom
Nalley were great on the Eastern
defense. Nalley, who was a target
for innumerable assaults. was
knocked cold" several times but
gamely stuck to his guns and was
still battling when the game ter.
minated.
Hoff, who entered the game in a
relief role, was the best backfield
performer for Charlie Guyon's
Eastern team. He was the prin.
cipal weapon in the Eastern drive
in the third quarter when the Lin
coin Parkers paraded from their
own SO-yard tape to Techs 31-yard
mark.

strokes over par for the two
rounds.
Spencer had rounds of IS and Il

work around the green was not
equal to that of the Columbia
