charity and It had been suggested that
the contest be played in crifnth
Stadium. Clark Grinith, president Of
the washington Base Ball Club, was
willing to give the use Of the stadium
without charge, but high school
authorities at meeting yesterday. after
expressing appreciation Of Grifnth'S Of
fer, decided that the game should be
played in the Central Stadium, scene
Of all the series contests. It was felt
that the Columbia Heights school plant
would be able to accommodate all who
attended.
It was suggested at the meeting that
It might be well. in view Of the fact
that the game Is for charity, to suspend
the free list. The regular admission
charge of so cents will be In effect and
students Of the public high schools, who
are athletic association members, VIII
be admitted for 10 cents.
Neither Eastern nor Tech has lost
q series game. The Light Blue has won
| two games and tied one, having de-
| feated Business, to 0, and Eastern,
| Is to 0, and tied Western, 0 TO o. Tech
has captured all three of It's games by
decisive margins. The Gray trimmed
Business, 50 to o; Central, 10 to 0, and
Western. 80 to 0.
Eastern has been working hard all
week to tighten It's defense against the
versatile Tech running attack. IL may
| be that the Light Blue IS . result viii
be able to thwart the deceptive spinner
and reverse plays employed by the Gray
and force the latter, for the fiTst time
| In the series, to turn to the air. Eastern
also has been giving attention to Inn
proving its aerial offense.
Kelley, Tech Jinx.
Tech rules a heavy favorite. Eastern
doubtless has q stalwart eleven, one
that is much better than 1t was thought
Kelley would be able to develop from
the inexperienced material with which
he had to work, but Mckinley has too
much in reserve for the boys from out
Capitol Hill way, 1t is generally be-
lieved. Eastern followers, however, are
confident that their team win put up
much more Of q fight than figured.
They point TO the fact that two years
! ago Tech drubbed Central, ~ to o, and
Western, 80 to o, but Eastern contrived
to hold the Hardell coach eleven to q
/ one touchdown victory. They also
emphasize that Kelley Is the only high
school coach whose elevens have ever
beaten teams tutored by Hardell.
The Tech-Eastern game will be the
last of q series which, until Eastern
surprised by beating Central, 10 to o..
Tuesday, was about as drab and uia-
interesting as It could have been, Until
that time there were no upsets and it
appeared that Tech was going to coast
TO another championship. Eastern's
! sparkling win over Tech, though.
changed the situation entirely The
dramatic fight to the top of the Eastern
team, given little consideration by the
critics at the start Of the series as q
pennant contender, has 'em all talking.
Game ON Tomorrow.
Business and Western win get to-
gether tomorrow afternoon In the Gen.
| trail Stadium In their game for the
series cellar "honors." Just what time
/ the match will be played is not certain.
but 1t probably VIII be before S:45
] o'clock to insure completion Of the
competition before darkness. The
/ encounter originally was listed for Fri
day, but was postponed because Of the
unfavorable weather. Business has lost
all three of its series starts and Western
