The public high school foot bal
series, while interesting, had no really
outstanding team. Eastern, Western
and Business. before play began, were
thought to have the better material,
while Tech was rated as having too
youthful a squad to cut much of a
Swath. and Central was accounted ex-
ceptionally weak.
But Business, after giving Western
tough tussle and overwhelming
Eastern with the largest count run up
in years by a Business foot ball com
bination, fell by the wayside. Eastern
started well, then dropped out of the
running. Western proved not SO
strong as expected and the Tech team
managed to offset its youthfulness
with it's cleverness. while Central
rarely played above its anticipated
form.
Western and Tech I'm Tie.

ished in a deadlock for the champion
ship, each with two victories and two
ties. Eastern and Central had records
of one win, one tie and two losses,
