pendent football champions, ana
the Apaches, their feudal rivals,
win tomorrow. vie for popularity
Of local Sandlot sports followers,
each presenting worthwhile at
fractions that should be produc-
tive of keen football:
The MohawkS are meeting a
strong local rival in the North
erns at the Clark Griffith Stad-
illnn at 2:3O o'clock while the
Apaches are clashing with the
powerful Tacony Aces Of Phila-
delphia at 2:30 o'clock at the
Union League Park.
The Apaches are cognizant OF
the caliber of the visiting semi
pro gridders' from Philadelphia
and they are more than merely
determined to repulse the IN
vaders. They have actually
pledged themselves to beat the
Philadelphians.
This was plain in the final
workout of the Apaches last
night under the flOOdlightS
at the Union League grounds.
Coach Bill Lytell exhOrted his
players to play their heads
off as victory over the
TacOny Aces would establish
the Apaches as serious con-
tenders for the championship
now held by the Mohawks.
Encouraging to Apache rooters
will be the presence Of Harry
Rice, Perch Cornell. Dutch Cud-
more and Matt Twoomey in to-
morrow's game. These four have
seen service in Apache teams of
bygone days and had announced
they we're through with the game
this year.
They held good their intentions
until this week when they re-
ported for practice. Perhaps they
won't start against the Tacony
team, but Coach Lytell will prob
ably call upon them before the
final whistle has sounded.
Tacony is strong eleven. &C
cording to advance information.
It is said to have tied the Clifton
Heights team, one of the best in
the Philadelphia sector. They
also handed the Irvingtons of
Baltimore 1910 jolt last Sunday.
If the Mohawk players
think they will have a snap
with Coach Louis BrunelIe's
Northern Redbirds at the
Clark Griffith Stadium to-
morrow they had these
thoughts removed by Coach
Craig Wilton In Thursday
nights practice.
Don't think these Northerns
are going to prove easy for us
Sunday" warned Wilton as he lee
tured the squad preparatory to
their workout: I'VE had a great
club last year. but you will recall
that the NorthernS pushed us to
the limit in two games. In fact,
, II some of you who were with us
then will recall we won both games
by the narrow margin Of a single
touchdown"
So, the MohawkS will not let
down tomorrow. and they will play
at full steam throughout the en-
tire battle. Wilton. though pleased
with the interference and team
play against the Chester team
last Sunday, declared the team
had not reached the desired peak.
The NOrtherns apparently
are planning to spring q real
surprise on the MOhawks to-
morrow. as Manager Sad"
Sam Ormes, who usually sup
plies information on his team,
has remained secluded. Per
hapS he has added some new
players and doesn't want the
Mohawks to know who they
are until game time.
There are two features of the
1929 MohawkS that adds to their
strength. Coach Wilton has two
backfield sets that are equal
and there is also an abundance
Of reserve line talent. One back
field is composed of Abby, Collier,
Howard and Wilton. and the
other includes Thomas, Birthright,
Dewey, Burke or Eddinger.
The MohawkS will probably
lineup against the Northerns with
DeRoo and DuFour, ends: Adams
and Zulick, tackles; Kane and
Browning. guards; Kendall, cen
ter; Collier. quarterback: Wilton
and Howard, halves, and Abby,
fullback.
