Y a I tomorrow and opening games
NV scheduled a week from Fri
day foot ball preparation
among institutions of the
local scholastic group will start with a
will this week.
Business and Western High squads,
The last of the public high bunch 70
start practice. will start their work TO-
morrow. Tech has been drilling since
Labor day and Central and Eastern
since Monday
Most of the private schools also have
started laborS.
For the majority of the squads the
program thus far has been confined to
conditioning work, but beginning To-
morrow most of them will set down TO
the more serious phase of their pre-
season activities.
Central, Eastern and Tech all are
carded to open their schedules Scptem-
Der % against Baltimore schoolboy
elevens in the Maryland metropolis,
but whether all the contests Will be
played is not certain as some OF the
Baltimore schools wish to cancel be-
cause their preparation has been de-
layed through the fact that the in
fantile paralysis outbreak resulted IN
poned until tomorrow.
Forest Park High, which Is listed to
entertain Central, has written the local
school requesting that the game be cam
| celed. This. it is expected, will be done.
Central has been seeking an opponent
to fill the date.
Eastern. which is booked to tackle
Calvert Hall, and Tech. which is listed
to engage Baltimore City College.
neither have been advised so far by the
| Oriole City institutions that they de-
sire to cancel and both the local squads
ere being prepared for the games.
Business and Western both will start
work tomorrow without the services of
bulwarks of the 1927 teams. Business
has lost such stalwarts as Charley May,
Bernie and Revelle Jones, Henry Gal
lotta, Charley Silverman and Charley
Rich and Western will have to get
along without the crack Bob Wilson,
CARRIER, Mitchell Schneider, Doyle and
| Cox.
Westerns hopefuls will assemble for
| their first drill tomorrow afternoon en-
the field near the school and Business
will go through its PAGES on the Eastern
High soccer field. Western had hoped
it's new athletic field would be ready
for foot ball but litigation has held
up work On the plant and the West
Enders will have to do their condition
| ing on the makeshift gridiron north
west of the school which they have
been using recently.
Tech Highs squad which returned
to the city Thursday after training at
the University of Maryland, College
Park, since Labor day, plans to get
| 70 in u
as field can be secured by Coach
Elmer P. (Hap) Hardell. The Maroon
and Gray has done nothing since
Thursday but Hardell does not believe
this will hurt his protegeS as they were
hustled along while at Maryland. 1t
Is hoped by the Tech mentor to secure
use of Clark Griffith Stadium and get
to work again not later than the mid
die of this week. The local blllyard
has been the scene of the Maroon and
Gray drills during other seasons.
While Hardell has not picked his
team he has obtained, a pretty fair idea
of his prospects. 1t appears that the
Tech backfleld, from which have been
lost such stalwarts as Kriemelmeyer,
Ritter, Mills, Guy and Bailey. is going
to be unusually light though fast.
Florence, Fountain and Goss appear
to be leading candidates for posts be-
hind the line other than quarterback.
Drissel and Spencer are leading in the
| fight for the snapper back post.
| Benner Hoy Edelblut and Hissey
appear ranking aspirants with the for
mer two apparently holding the edge
right now Prominent guard Candl-
| dates are Edwards, Cole. Stutz and
Piggott, while Oyster, Oehmann. Aus
| tin, Winston, and Geiger are, it ap-
pears, the pick of those trying for
| tackle posts. Mayor and Leo Winston
are outstanding center aspirants.
Central and Eastern grid hopefulS
who have been going through their
PAGES each morning since last Monday,
| tomorrow will begin afternoon sessions.
Both squads are expected to get addi-
lions tomorrow with school reopening.
