OF ELIGIBLE MEN
Only 13 Available to Meet
Heavier and Much More
Experienced Team.
. oACH MIKE KELLEY's East

ern High SchOOl foot ball team
is expected to chalk up its
~ second win in as many starts
in the public high school grid
iron series when it tackles Western
tomorrow afternoon in Central High
School Stadium at BIS O'Clock. 1t will
be the first series game for Western.
Eastern defeated Central, to 0, in
the opening series tilt last Friday.
Eastern is favored to triumph over
Western because the Lincoln Parkers
have a squad that not only is much
larger numerically, but is decidedly
heavier and more experienced. In fact,
Western will start against Eastern with
just Is eligible players on its roster.
Several clever performers are expected
to be available for play after the first
advisory period tomorrow, but Is is all
that Coach Dan Ahern may now count
upon. However, he will not forfeit the
game unless he finds it absolutely nee
eSSary.
Eastern expects to take the field with
the same lineup as began against
Central last week. This follows:
Holland, left end; Tom Nally. left
tackle; Chamberlain, left guard; Ches-
ter Miles, center; Montague, right guard;
Wade, right tackle; Eaton Chalkley,
right end; Capt. Wood. quarterback;
Mccullough, left halfback; Millar, right
halfback and Mccarthy, fullback.
Coach Ahearn plans to start the
Western team like this:

Mcmillan, left guard; Owens, center;
Worthington, right guard; Seeds, right
tackle; Herbie Thompson, right end:
Capt. Park, quarterback; Eby, left half
back; Gerens, right halfback, and
Hunt, fullback. Jim Thompson or
Pagan, either of whom can, fortu-
nately for Western, play just about
any position, are the lone reserves
boosted by the Georgetown scholastics.
Ahern expects to have the follow
ing additional players available for duty
after tomorrow: Draper and Cox, ends;
Brownield, back; Cook, lineman, and
Webb, substitute center; Fletcher, an
other end, will be eligible, but he has
not made such rapid progress in re-
covering from a recent injury, and
whether he will be ready to play is un-
certain.

schoolboy teams of the District group
tomorrow, Gonzaga and st. Johns and
Dewitt and Calvert Hall School of Bal
timore are to meet.
Gonzaga and st. Johns will hook up
Field at 3 o'clock and Dewitt and Cal
vert Hall IN the Eastern High Stadium
at o'clock. The latter game origin
ally was planned for Griffith Stadium.

Johns because of the Puppies more
impressive showing so far this season.
Dewitt and Calvert Hall are expected to
stage well contested game.
The Purple plans to start the follow
ing gridders: Pyne and Ferris, ends
Hinkle and Al Farrell, tackles; Jake
Farrell, center; McVean, quarterback:

whistle probably will comprise K Yate-
man and Franks, ends; l.. Waterman and
King. tackles; Hanlon and Kolb, guards:

back; Hudson and Reach, halfbacks,
and Morris, fullback.
Dewitt will be out to avenge a TO
defeat handed it by Calvert Hall when
the elevens face tomorrow: Francis
Knott, DevittS captain and backfield
star, may not be able to start against
the Baltimoreans because of strained
tendon. Otherwise, however, the Dewitt
squad is in good condition, several de-
pendables who have been on the sick
list now being ready for duty.

Md, Saturday to engage Tome Institute
in the only other game of the week
