tests ever booked for Light Blue and
White eleven.
So far the Bethlehem game is the
only one to be closed for on the 1880
Eastern schedule, which probably will
include 10 or IL engagements. The
card is expected to be completed by
| Thanksgiving.
Efforts will be made by Eastern to
list game with Episcopal High of
Alexandria, along with other contests
| Eastern probably will have tough
shedding to stand up under the heavy
schedule planned, as many dependables
of this seasons squad are to be lost
by graduation.
Gridmen who are scheduled to re-
ceive their sheepskins next June include
Capt. Tom Nally, Smith, Hogge, John
Nally, Moffett, Jenkins, Millar, McCul-
Tough, Oxley, Hayden, Chamberlain
Snltfen, Burns, Taylor, Chester Miles
and Glow.
Montague, stalwart guard; Beard,
end; Shorb, guard, and Taylor, end, are
just about the only capable members of
this Falls squad who are not listed for
graduation.
Next Fall the situation at Eastern
will be radically different from the
case this year, as the Light Blue had
at hand great ma ority Of its seasoned
players OF campaign ago when prac-
tice started couple of months ago.
An official of the public high schools
has made suggestion which, in the
mind of the writer, is entitled to not
little consideration. 1t is that each
team play the other twice in the cham
pionship foot ball series, the same as
Is done in the basket ball set.
1t Is pointed out by this official that
such an arrangement would mean that
the various elevens would have to cur
tail to marked extent the number of
games they ordinarily play outside of
the series, but it is his belief that the
enlarged schedule would assure the best
team winning the championship, some
thlng that the present number of games
does not, in his opinion, guarantee. All
the teams would be given more chance
to show their real worth, and the series
doubtless would prove more interesting
to the players, spectators and every one
else concerned, our correspondent
opines. Certainly, it seems that his
suggestion is at least entitled to care
full consideration.
A game of more than usual interest
is the annual contest scheduled for
Friday between Gonzaga and George
town Prep on the new Gonzaga Field, on
Thirty-fourth street near Benning road,
starting at $3.50 o'clock
Georgetown Prep, which has never
conquered the Purple. has an excep-
tionally strong team this Fall and be-
lieves 1t has a fine chance to upset
Coach Orrel Mitchell's proteges.
Except Bernard Bussink, clever quar-
terback, who has an injured hand, the
Gonzaga squad Is in good physical
shape. Bussink. however, is expected to
be ready for play Friday.
Both GonZaga and Georgetown Prep
have shown strength this season. So far
GonZaga has conquered Business and
Western, but has lost to the strong
Catholic University Freshmen. George
town Prep has drubbed Mount st.
Mary's Prep, but was held to a score
less tie by Paulie Byrnes' up-and-com-
ing st. Johns eleven.
In a couple Of weeks Coach Orrel
Mitchell will call aspirants for the Con-
zaga basket ball squad for first practice.
However, until after the gridiron sea-
son is over nothing in the way of seri-
Gus work will be undertaken.
Games with Eastern, Western, st.
Johns, Georgetown Prep and other
quints are planned for the Purple bas-
keters, though little work so far has
been done on the schedule. card of
about 20 games probably will be ar
ranged.
