1t appears that both the Dewitt and
GonZaga elevens will be able to present
just about their full strength in their
annual foot ball game Saturday after
noon in Griffith Stadium at 2:30
O'Clock. 1t will be the final contest of
the campaign hereabout for schoolboy
gridders.
Fears that Milton Abramson, clever
little Dewitt quarterback, would be un-
able to play because of an injured leg
has been allayed by the announcement
that, unless the injury is aggravated, he
will be able to perform. 1t is doubtful,
however, whether Kaspar Beazley,
guard, who also has an injured leg, will
be in shape.
Bits Schriver will replace Abramson
If the latter is unable to play and either
Paul Imirie or Melvin Viner will see
action If Beazley is kept out of the
game.
Tom Keefe. halfback. who performed
30 sensationally as Dewitt walloped Cen
trail, l9 to 0, recently, together with
Abramson, Paul Tangora, tackle, and
Capt Francis Knott, fullback, are looked
upon as the main threats Of the Nc
Namara- coached eleven.
Except for Rose, lineman, Saturdays
game will be the last for every member
of the firSt-string Dewitt team.
Gonzaga will present well-balanced
combination against Dewitt one possess
ing no particular stars. In Bernie
Bussink, quarterback; Fred Brew and
Bob McVean, halfbacks, and Larry
FTeund, fullback, the Purple has a
clever backfleld. Capt. Al Farrell,
tackle, and other forwards also are stall
wart gridironers. The physical condi-
ton of the GonZaga combination is
generally satisfactory
Coach Orrel Mitchell is tickled to
death with the spirit of his Purple
eleven. He cites the case of Capt. Far
rell. There is no question but that
Farrell would like to play in the back
field and he is not bad performer back
of the line, but Mitchell believed that
the team would be stronger with him
holding forth at tackle. Farrell has
accepted the situation in fine spirit and
has been playing at tackle in good style.
Saturdays game will be the last for
many Gonzaga players.
In honor of the Tech foot ball team
public high champion, a dinner Will be
held tomorrow night at $50 o'clock at
the school It will be staged by the
faculty and members of the graduate
T Club, with Leonard Brown chairman
