football series is slowly but surely
drawing to a close. Only three
more games are on schedule
after Fridays clash between Gen.
tral and Business.
Then will come the annual
"quiet on the battle front" period
which will last or'y long enough
for the squads to play post-sea-
son games If any, put their grid
toys away for another year, and
make strenuous -ffortS to begin
the basketball season in the near
citing.
But while there is still the
three games after Fridays clash"
left, football in the minds Of the
various teams will remain the
most important thing until the
very end.
Fridays contest between Cen
tral and Business, for an instance,
will bring this out. The two teams
are very busy at this time pre-
pairing for the meeting.
Central Preparing
Central, practically scrapped Of
ell of its strength because Of re-
cent failures of an imposing list
OF its best men, faces the task
Of getting into some sort Of
shape whereby Business will be
defeated.
In fact, the paramount thought
in the Mt. Pleasanters' minds
right now is that they defeat
Business, for a loss to that team
would be the most embarrassing
thing ever, if tradition runs true
TO form at all.
On the other hand, the Stenogs
are practicing to turn just the
trick they feel they have a slight
chance to turn at this stage of
the race. In fact, they are pep
ped up over the possibilities be-
cause Of Centrars wrecked
status.
So it goes. AS long as foot.
ball is here, it will be important
to the enthusiastic scholastics.
fridays skirrnish brings to mind
this fact more and more every
day.
