IT TOW about that upset?
- Following Eastern's TO VIC
tory over Business yesterday
followers Of the public high
school foot ball championship series are
wondering If the set this Autumn is GO
ing to furnish any surprises. II 1t
doesn't it certainly will be unusual. As
q rule there are one or more smashing
upsets. So far Tech has defeated Bush
ness, Central has taken Western and
Eastern has downed Business. All just
as expected.
In other games yesterday in which
District schoolboy elevens figured Con-
zaga bowed to Catholic University
freshmen, 6 to Is, in the Brookland Sta
dunn; Landon walloped woodward, Il
to 0, on the Tidal Basin grid, and
Georgetown Prep opened its season with
q 1910 win over st. Adams on the
latter's field.
Many fans figure q stunning surprise
soon viii occur In the public high series.
It will not happen In the Central game
Tuesday, the next on the schedule. That
Is expected to prove q close struggle,
anyway. Maybe Business will defeat
Central November 4, western will down
Tech November z. Anything might
pected may happen. However, 1T Is a
prospect fraught with all kinds Of in
teresting possibilities.
Not few fans are just about con-
WINGED that Eastern Is out Of the pen
nant picture following It's exhibition
against Business. Coach Mike Kelley,
they figure, mas developed an eleven that
considering its experience Is first-rate,
but one that will not be able to get
very far against Tech, defending cham
pion, and Central. They believe that
the Light Blue did not show either suf-
f1cient power on attack nor q strong
enough defense to stack up successfully
against Central or Tech. Thus, the
nag fight narrows to Tech and Central,
these critics maintain.
Business Fights Hard.
Eastern's green team was hard put to
overcome the do-or-die Business war
riors. The Light Blue, whose starting
array included not q single player who
ever had begun q series battle, scored

tumble. Quarterback Billy (Red) Wells,
one Of the big shots in the Light Blue
ofense, started the attack when he
slashed off-tackle for IS yards. Then
Flip Corridor, fullback, who was an

tense, swept around end for yards
more. Smoak followed with o line

place-kicked the extra point.
Thereafter for the remainder Of the
battle 1t was q fairly even fight, with
neither team able to produce a scoring
punch, though Eastern was the agrees
sor for the most part. Both In the
second and third quarters Business

had reached the~Light Blues 35-yard

checked by a 15-yard penalty.
Again, in the final quarter, Eastern
menaced the Orange goal, but after
line plunges, mostly by Wells and Cor

1S-yard line, Eastern held for downs.
