contested duel is the prospect.
The Indian names OF the cluos
are significant whenever these
pigskin tribes" war on eacn
other.
Since the early part Of the
season each has patiently
awaited the day Of battle.
Each team is prepared for a
hard struggle. Final prepara
tIOns were concluded last
night. and Coaches Wilton, OF
the MOhawks, and Lytell, OF
the Apaches, are satisfied
that their players are in tip
top condition.
TIL close call given the Mo
hawks last Sunday by the 81.
Marv's Celtics shows that the MO
hawks can be beaten. The Hawks
escaped defeat by single point
and thus saved their unspotted
slate, This encouraged the Apa-
ches. for they figure if the Celtics
can hold those unbeatable MO
hawks to a one-point victory then
they will go a step farther ana
blacken the Mohawks record
with the first defeat.
The Mohawks last met reverse
at the hands of the Apaches IN
1927, and those yellow-clad cleated
gladiators feel certain that VIC
tory will again be theirs to-
morrow. They will enter the
game with the thought they can't
be beaten and there's saying
that a team that can't be beaten
won't be beaten.
It is difficult to make either
team the favorite, but If there
is an edge it must be given to
the Mohawks if only for the rea-
son they are the defending cham
pions. The percentage is always
with the champion in any sport.
Besides, the MOhawkS have
shown themselves slightly su-
perior to the Apaches this
year. They have encountered
stronger opposition and have
displayed a more versatile
running attack and a stOuter
defense. The Hawks will also
have the weight advantage,
particularly on the ends and
in the backfield.
The greatest factor in favor
of the Apaches is their deadly
passing game. The Apaches have
stressed the pass in every game
this year and have worked it to
success.
1t was their overhead play that
brought victory to the Apache
banner in 1927. and even last
year they worried the Mohawks
with passes. They will unques-
tionably fill the air with a broad
side of footballs tomorrow and a
team Is ever menacing with q
consistent passing offensive.
Nor is there any one man
delegated as the thrOwer nor
q particular one as the re-
ceiver. Johnny Small" De-
labre, Marvin Meyers, HuCk
Hilleary, Joe Sweeney, George
McCabe and Red" McCann
all take turns at tossing the
leather. That is where the
ApacheS may cross up the
Mohawk defense when q play
through the line or sweep
around the ends is expected.
Nevertheless, the Apaches do
not pin complete reliance in their
passing attack for ground gain.

Sweeney. Meyers, Hilleary, and
Boyd are hard to drag down
when out in the open.
However, they won't find any
soft spots in the Mohawk front
row. Zulick, Adams, Browning,
Kenney, Kendall, Russell, Brown,
Minnick, DuFour and DeRoo are
all experienced linemen who know
their positions we'll. The Mohawks
have no passing game to equal
that of the Apaches, but will
present hard-running, shifty and
fast-driving backs. Abbatacchio,

Burke will at one time or another
lug the oval for the Mohawks.
Dewey and Biz thright are purely
carriers, hardly of any service on
the defense or interference. The
others arc of all all-around worth.
