BY George A. Simpson

I've re staging surprise
party for Techs benefit to-
morrow, o~muttered Mike Kel-
ley, Eastern High coach, as he
discussed his team S chances
against the formidable Man
ual Trainers in tomorrow's i'm
portant public high football
game at the Central High
Stadium at 3:15 o'clock.
''we have too stout defense for
Tech, and 1 don't even expect them
to score against us. Our chances
look pretty good to me and we're
nut to lick this supposedly crack
Tech. outfit.
Eastern will be somewhat handi-
capped. as / have only five back.
field players available. Charlie Mil
lar and Ralph Shackelford have
been lost through injuries. How
ever I'm counting upon the line to
stop the Tech assaults.
The confidence of Coach KeI-
ley is reflected in every mem
her Of the, team as they 90 about
their daily practice tasks over
1t Eastern field. They are un-
moved by the overwhelming
opinion that Tech Is vastly SUI
n
Their grave faces tell that they
won't fold np and bow politely
To- the Techites.
Yet. Coach Hap Hardell is also
self-Hssured that his team viii
come out ahead and gather the
championship silks. The usually
silent and gloomy Tech mentor has
separated himself from his mask
and boldly comes out with acclama-
lions of victory. although reserved
by faint doubt.
ssWell." drawled HardelI "a team
that has run over opponents ike
Tech this year shouldn't lose to
Eastern. We should win, but still
orlescan never tell what's going to
happen in this football business.
my team has greatly improved
since the opening of the season and
is well organized now / admit East
ern has a powerful defense. but We
nave a stronger offensive. The East
ern players will learn that tomor-
row. Oh yes, we should win and III
ne stunned If we don't" closed Har-
eieil who sometimes hrightens. even
when the horizon colors, dark for
Tech teams.
The victor will be crowned
the 1928 public school gridirOn
Fnanarch but q tie game will
leave both deadlOcked for the
title which will then be shared
Jointly by each. However.
Coaches Kelley and Hardell say
there wos7't be any tie contest,
thus promising an intense strug-
gle that should furnish the spec
fators with thrObbing moments.
The Central High Stadium ton1or-
row, will be the meeting ground OF
every scholastic football disciple and
the attendance may outnumber the
Central.Tech crowd estimated be.
tween 900 and 1000 fans.
Coach Mike Kelley announces he
will start Franklin Holland al left
end and assign Kenney Glow or
Nike Mccarthy to the fullback post.
Holland, brilliant defensive player,
will back up the line whenever Fech
possesses the oval. Kelley is also
dubious about right end, saying he
hasn't chosen between five wingmen.
Chalkley, Hanna, Smith, Beard or
HAYDEN will be named with Chalkley
favored on his experiene. The prob
