HOYAS
WILL MEET
ST,JOHN'S
BY GARRETT WATERS

BY GARRETT WATERS
The scholastic sports program
boasts of two features this week,
and both of 'em roll around early
to give the customers plenty Of
think and talk about.
The first Of these holds sway
today when the Georgetown Prep
eleven entertains st. Johns Prep
on the Garrett Park gridiron at
$3.50 o'clock.
Central vs.. Western
The second breaks into the spot
light tomorrow when Coach Burt
CogginS' crack Central Eleven
faces Dan Ahern'S determined
Western High team in a game
which will bring down the cur
tain for inter-high school series
football for the season Of 1888.
Oh yes, there's other contests
on the program, but they are
scheduled later on in the week and
are almost eclipsed by the impor-
lance Of the two just mentioned.
However, as a matter of note, the
lineup reveals that Tech has a
conflict pending with Roanoke
High at Roanoke, Va, Friday,
while Dewitt meets the Catholic
University Freshmen at Brookland
Saturday.
Although today'S Georgetown
Prep-St. Johns game is scheduled
way out in the country, so to
speak, it promises to be packed
full Of interesting football.
Props Are Favorites
Georgetown Prep is the heavy
1avorite to win due to its splendid
record for the season, but this is
not taking away the fact that
stubborn little st. Johns eleven
will be on the field to break loose
with q victory if it is humanity
possible.
st. Johns held Gonzaga to a
IL to 0 score in its last appear
ance, and this was quite q show
Ing, as Gonzaga was expected to
triumph by a much larger margin.
Has Own Ideas
Tomorrow'S game between Cen
trail and western at Central Sta
dunn at $3.50 o'clock should be
Interesting because it will bring
into action a Western machine
that really holds decided ideas
Of being a threat, even though the
dope points to the fact that the
team will lose probably by two
touchdoWnS.
The Georgetowners. despite the
fact that they were facing a woe.
fully weak Roosevelt eleven last
week, played splendid football to
win, Jimmy Corcoran, quarter
back, especially looking good,
both as a field general and ball
carrier.
Central, however, will win the
game hands down because of its
heavier lineup and the presence
