team next season it will go
through with a schedule con-
fined to eight games.
A creditable showing in inter
high series play will assure the
Lincoln Parkers of a post-Season
game. possibly with York High.
Among the teams scheduled,
other than series opponents, are
Alexandria Episcopal. N t i nal
Training School. Washington and
Lee High and Gonzaga.
National Training School, as
sistant Principal John Paul Col
Inns declares, has been re-sched-
uled following last falls praise
worthy exhibition.
He says:
"Our boys never met more
spOrtSmanlike nor splendidly
rounded team.
eve are glad to play those
fellows again. They showed us
plenty last year."
Gonzaga, an old rival, is to be
met october Is on the home
field.
Schedule Cut
Eastern, heretofore boasting a
more extensive schedule, has de-
cided to Rut its booking to
small field this season. Coach
Mike Kelley, therefore, will have
more time to rebuild his eleven.
Kelley, who turned out splen-
did team from green and in
experienced material year ago,
looks forward to better prospects
in 1881. Many of last years per
formers. along with new talent,
likely will bolster his aggregation.

A meeting of principals, it is

was pressed to the limit by a

but eventually registered, 1924.
Lucas Missed
Plucky Business therefore is
virtually eliminated from the
running and either Tech or Gen.
tral, probably Central, vies with
Eastern for the leadership.
The loss of little Bobby
Lucas plainly handicapped the
Orange and Blue. Lynn Wood
worth's pupils seemingly lacked
the balance formerly supplied
by their ace.
The nightcap found Western
battling doggedly all the way be-

All of Everett RusSell's wizardry
of old was needed to turn back
the rugged West End attack.
Russell not only helped himself
to six shots from Scrimmage but
also sank three free tries to lead
the scorers.
Near Upset
Western, incidentally, all but
upset it's enemy after coming
from behind to knot the count

Esenstad, rallied prettily and
forged into a 24-23 lead midway
in the period. Then it was that
the Blue and White braced and
coaSted to victory,
