group will get under

Tech, which is seeking its fifth

HAP HARDELL. Tech coach plans
! i to take three teams along on
Techs jaunt to Baltimore. He
figures to use at least two whole elevens
and all three may get action. McKin-
ley expects to take licking, Hap says,
but there's no news in that statement
as the Mckinley mentor seldom predicts
anything except defeat.
It Is likely that fans will be just
about as much in the dark after the
game tomorrow as to the caliber Of the
Tech team as they are now. Hardell
usually uses pre-series games largely
for experimental purposes, and is not
particularly keen whether Tech gets the
long end Of the score.
One thing, though, Is certain. That
IS, the Tech team this season probably
will be much stronger than Hap would
have you believe.

who will round out a good combination.
Foley, who is playing quarterback, is
slated to take care Of the kicking. He
has been showing well in drills.
Hardell has high hopes for his back
field, which, he claims. is about as near
an approach TO the League OF nations
as one could want so far as names are
concerned. Give him Nick Nicolopoulos
and Nick Pistolas of Central to add to
Stuart Foley, Isadore Weitzman and
Vito Pisano and he figures Tech would
have an unbeatable combination.

shifts. as, like Hardell. he will be play

games than for smashing victory.
TENTRAL'S hopes are not bright

tional Training School inflicted on
Coach Bert Coggins' gridders yesterday
True Centrals lineup largely was
composed of second -stringers, but the
easy manner in which the Training
School eleven pushed the Blue around

reserves this sason. Clarence Merry

slipped away from Centrals defense
and ankled IS yards for a touchdown.
