HOPES TO DO WELL
IN RETURN BATTLE
Match at Chattanooga Has
District Team, Victor
in '29, on Edge.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR.

A VALIANT Emerson gridiron
~ squad will hit the trail to
4 \ Dixie tomorrow to do battle
with the Baylor Military
Academy eleven Friday at Chat
tanooga, Tenn. Emerson will be
returning visit the Southerners
made here last year when the
Washington eleven triumphed in
a colorful 1877 struggle. The Dis
trict eleven is in for a rousing
big time as the game will mark
the dedication Of Baylor's new
stadium.
Though the Emerson eleven coached
by Harley Sanborn hasn't such an i'm
pressive record as to games won ana
lost this season, having captured only
three tits while losing four and tlelng
one. It unuu- stionably packs mere power
than generally believed. All the defeats
have been suffered at the hands OF prep
school combinations which outwelghed
the Emerson outfit. by a decided margin.
Woodberry Forest, Mercersburg Acade-
nv. Staunton Military Academy ana
MasSanutten Military Academy are
schools whose teams have bumped OH
Sanborn's proteges.
Business is the lone scholastic eleven
of the District group which Emerson
has faced. 1t spanked the Stenogs thor
ouQhly. "a to o. It's other victories were
registered over Gettysburg Academy and
Tome Institute, husky elevens both. IL
fought the formidable National Tram
ing School for Boys eleven to o-o
draw.
Here is the complete Emerson record:
Emerson, o; National Training School
for Boys. 0.
Woodberry Forest, 6; Emerson, 0.
Emerson, %; Business, 0.
Mercersburg Academy, 10; Emer-
Emerson, 6; Gettysburg Academy, o;
Staunton Military Academy, 80;
Massanutten Military Academy. 10;
Emerson, O.
Emerson, s.: Tome. 0.
Coach Sanborn figures that Emerson
has the best "schoolboy team in the
District end has a $3.50 chance to
take BAYLOR. The squad came out of the
bruising battle with Tome Saturday in
bang-up trim except for Jimmy Draper,
fuilback, who received hip injury.
However, it is thought that the former
Western High luninary will be o. <.
by Friday.
Emerson's squad, according to plans,
will arrive in Chattanooga Thursday.
Just who will be taken on the trip had
not been decided early today by
Sanborn.
IF negotiations now in progress carry,
II Emerson's eleven will come to grips
with the crack Hargrave Military
Academy eleven of Chatham, Va, in
post-season game at Alexandria. The
Hargrave team Is looked upon as one
of the classiest in the Old Dominion
scholastic whirl.
Bin Duryee, stellar fullback, has quit
the Business foot ball team for the re-
mainder Of the campaign. With the
Stenog3 just ABOUT out of the picture
so far as being a strong contender for
public high laurels is concerned, Bill
and Coach Lynn Woodwork yielded to
the wishes OF Bills mother that he dis
continue the game because of the wear
and tear on his physique. His loss is
q vital one to the Orange as he was
doubtless the best all-around performer
on the team. Plant. who has been
doing well at an end heretofore this
season, viii get Duryee's post.
Bill, however, will be on the job for
basket ball and base ball. He also is
a bang-up performer in both these
sports.
I'D TOWERS, popular gridiron official,
IL who has been working the public
high series for seven or eight years,
declares the attack exhibited by Tech
in its winning game over Central Fri
day was the most versatile and puzzling
he has ever seen in the series.
Techs offense is patterned TO large
extent after that Of the University CT
Maryland. Spinner plays fake re-
verses and other tricky maneuvers are
in the repertoire.
why, half the time I didn't know
myself where the ball was" said Towers,
who refereed the game.
Central was expected to handily de-
feat Business in their public high school
title grid battle this afternoon in the
Central Stadium
