Bruins will meet Northwestern Uni

CENTRAL HAS
LONG VACATION
FROM CRIDIRON

Putting past performances on the
shelf in favor of a forward view to
the first game of the valley high
school conference, Central Union
high school football men today be-
gan practice for a contest in Braw-
ley October %.
With a week of practice before
them, and no game in sight until
that with Brawley high school, the
Spartans will probably be in better
shape for this fray than for any of
the three they have entered this
year.
The local squad came out of the
Point Iona game without injuries.
Butler, Templeton and West, who
have been laid up for some time be-
cause of hurts, today were to start
active practice again. These three
big linemen should add a lot to the
team, since they are, or should be,
first string material.
Butler will probably win back his
left tackle position, although in
Keesee and Dillbeck he will find
plenty of competition. West, who
was playing regular right end be-
fore injuring his shoulder, will have
tough time replacing CuSby and
Berry at right end. Templeton
played guard, end and halfback last
year, but was injured this year be-
fore he had chance to win a place
on the team. He weighs ITO pounds.
and should find some berth.
Hartsog, judging from past per-
formance, should be able to hold
onto his place at center; Edgar, for
merly center, has been going we'll
at tackle, and his shift to that po-
sition may be permanent.
All these players will snap into
heavy practice this week, hoping to
turn their old enemies of the north
end back with score of nothing
when they meet on the Brawley
gridiron.
