PIC ELEVENS MEET
IN CONTEST TODAY
Little Indians FaVoFiteS for
First Time in City Sand
lot Classic.
N Apache foot ball eleven vii

~ leave Union League Park for
~ the first time this season TODAY
4 \ to invade a rivals stronghold
with a far different Little In
dian team than any that has gone forth
in former years to meet its traditional
foe, the Mohawks.
The eleven that Bill Supplee leads
into Griffith Stadium this afternoon to
meet the husky Mohawk outfit coached
by Craig Wilton will be a favorite for
the first time in the history Of the
annual title scraps in which these teams
have played the leading roles.
II always has been the Little Indians
to sandlot fans referring to the Apaches
but this year Supplee has put new blood
into the tribe and there will be little
advantage in averdupois for either team.
Apaches Won Last Year.
For seven years the Apachas battled
gamely, much as the Northerns have
been doing the past few seasons, to gain
the championship. Last year they man.

trail High Supplee probably has carried
on Raubers work as we'll as Ty might
have wished to do himself Apaches
now probably are one of the best, if not
the best, amateur combinations ever
developed here.
After a year of humiliation caused
by the Apache triumph last year, the
Hawks also have improved greatly over
last year. The present Hawk team
would have retained the title against
the Apaches a year ago, but it is a
question among sandlot followers
whether they have improved enough
this season to overcome the edge the
Apaches displayed last Fall.
Both Teams Ready.
Both teams will enter the fray keyed
to the occasion. Wilton and Supplee
have spent a busy week developing new
plays Under cover. Each team has kept
a scout in the opposing camp through
out the season and the scoring punch
of each today will depend largely on
the success of the new offensive built
up during the past few days.
Apaches have a versatile and fleet
backfield that is likely to outdistance
by far the bigger and charging
Hawk ball carriers. In Snail, Delabre,
Joe Sweeney, Hilleary. Smithson
Linkous and Twoomey, the Little In
dians have as good bunch of backs as
ever was collected on one sandlot team
here. Supplee and Brown are we'll
drilled ends, the former having lost lit
tie of his ability that brought him all
America mention a few years ago. Cliff
ford, once with the Hawks, has been
dependable at center throughout the
season, and Montague was generally
chosen an all-high guard this seaso'
after brilliant game for Easter
against Tech.
