Whether or not Charley Mil1ar
will get into tomorrow's Eastern
Central football game at the Cen

today. Q <! '....t ,'t.'--.. Ct,,C' =.
The talented Eastern quarter

With allf1igh probably hingmg
on this game, Millar has his heart
set on playing. It is understood,
however, that school authorities
may take an opposite angle which
would prevent him from breaking
into action.
Though admiring Charley's
show of gameness they are
reluctant to risk his future in
this one game and are ex-
pected to advise him to re-
main inactive.
After being counted out for
the season Millar surprised his
mates last week by donning a
uniform and turning out for
Wednesdays practice.
Since then he has advanced
slowly but steadily and is con-
fident that he is in shipshape
condition to play. AS a matter
OF fact he has steadfast1y main.

that he would be ready for Central.
And, unless he has waxed over
enthusiastic, it seems that he is.
I'm as good as new" Charley
grinned confidently this morning

don't worry.
MY toughest job is convincing
everybody else that I'm all right.
This is my last high school foot
ball game and I naturally want
to make the most of it. And if
I get my chance I will"
Nothing definite could be learn
ed from Eastern authorities on
this subject. But the general i'm
preston was that while Charley
Is all set to ramble, the school
heads figure differently. Which
Is causing some lively debating
among adherents Of the light
Blue and White.
Eastern may not be alone
In the loss of its regular
quarterback-that is If Millar
is lost. Colella, Blue and
White signal yodeler, may also
be missing with q lame ankle.
Under these circumstances Eve
rett Oxley will continue substitut-
ing for Millar while Frank Cum
berland will supplant Colella.
Central may also be forced to
funtion without the services Of it's
first string quarterback when this
final series conflict is launched.
Colella, shifty caller who has
guided the blue and white through
a fairly successful year, is still
suffering from the effects of a
lame ankle and is threatened with
idleness.
Frank Cumberland, a capable
substitute, will be ready for an
emergency.
Coach Ty Rauber last =
night admitted that he was
In q quandary regarding his
starting selection for one Of
the tackles. Boyle and ROSen-
thai are still battling 1t out
for the job.
But for the Central game East
ern would be nominated a slight |
favorite on comparative Eastern
scores. Whereas, the light Blue |
and White was busted off by |
Tech in it's 1929 series inaugural, |
IA to 2. Central was beaten out |
in the bitterest kind Of a fight, |
II to 8. The Lincoln Parkers |
out-scored Central against both
Business and Western, however.
Assistant Superintendent of
Schools Stephen E. Kramer will |
make some definite announce
ment regarding the starting tiue
of this game. In view of Fridays
moonlight performance caused by
the late $3.50 o'clock starting |
hour, it is hoped that a beneficial
change will be effected.
