County Soccer League.
The two leaders will play in a

are pushed toward the selecting
future.
Coming Games Will Help
There's one or two things miss
ing, however, this year, which no
doubt will prove important when
the selections are finally made.
There's not an outstanding
quarterback in the series, while
a real punter and passer has yet
to show himself.
The remaining games will
help bring things to the needed
balance, if any is needed.
But at the present time it is
interesting to discuss things as
they stand and look in the idea
that it will be all the more in
teresting should many or few
changes make their presence
when the old selecting time
finally rolls around.

The names of Jackie Lynham,

trail; AL Meiklejohn, George
Sachs, Steve Hatos, John Corn

Lawrence Flynn, of Business, and
Tony Palmer and Charlie Mades,

These performers certainly have
been outstanding for their re-

men who have excellent chances
of being selected on the all-high
teams picked every year at the
end of the season.
Many Promising Men
There may be countless others
added to this list before the
current series is ended. On the
other hand, this same list may
be reduced because of this player
or that one falling below the

ing.
At any rate, the series is
productive of many promising

performers from Central, West

year who are outstanding, or who

Tech has had to offer in some
time.
This condition, state of affairs,
or what have you is interesting
to say the least. Even though it
is taken on the performances OF
the teams and players only after
two weeks or so Of play.
In comparison to series Of the
past, picking an all-high team
promises to be easier this year.
It will be remembered there was
plenty of difficulty attached last
season.
Easier This Year
First of all there was a heaping
collection of capable backfield
men to select from. Then there
were several good passers, punt
ers and wingmen. There was not
an over abundance. of linesmen,
however. All of this neceSsitated

upon.
This year. or what the series
has shown to date, the usual
lOgger-heading should not have
to be cOntended with because
of the easy breathing order Of
things.
Briefly, there are many more
linemen, less backfield men, about
the same number of wingmen
and a fair collection of punters,
passers on the field.
This important feature hovers
about the entire situation. The
linemen, backs, wingmen, passers
and punters are all good and

test will be played at the Gen.

So much enthusiasm Is held
for this annual classic at this
time that nothing else can be
thought of by students of the
two schools, who feel this year
the battle will be the greatest
fought in the last three football
campaigns of the teams.
Hold Big Hopes
There Is one thing about 1t.
Central will enter the game with
its best chance of coming close
in several years because OF a
truly likely looking aggregation
Coach Coggins has seemingly de-
veloped this season.
And in conclusion, Central fol

years are filled with the idea
ana hone that their team will
more than "come close" be-
cause of the spirit among mem
bers of the team itself, which
they figure is a pretty good
reason any way you look at 1t.
Coach Hardell, the Tech team
and followers are laying low ana
saying nothing. as usual. Need
less to figure, they want to win,
in fact believe that they will. but
they're not opening their mouths
one way or the other for fear OF
saying something wrong.

final period. His work certainly
rates as the most outstanding
of the series to date.
Every time Business needed to

And the youngster came through
by making gain after gain. scoring
a touchdown finally in the fourth
quarter on a 20-yard run through
the Eastern line.
It was Eastern's game through
out the first half. The Lincoln
Parkers counted two touchdowns
easily in the first and second
periods. A Business tumble opened
the way for the scoring of the
first marker in the first quarter.
Boyd Helps Cause
1t came on the Stenogs' IS.

broke through tackle to run 40
yards. Boyd following with a
plunge from the 5-yard line for
the score.
This same Boyd made posi-

quarter just before intermiSSiOn.
He intercepted an attempted
StenOg pass by Cavanaugh, run

A pass from his hands to
Adams over the goal line was
good for the touchdown. Mades,
who missed in a try for the extra
point after the first touchdown,
made an excellent boot for the
extra point at this stage.
