SOLONSL LIST
GAME WITH
GEO..PREP
BY GARRETT WATERS


The scholastic sports world is
looking over and weighing two
most important developments OF
the season today.
One is the Eastern loss in the
1nterhigh school series football
race which took place yesterday
when Coach Hardelps Tech High
eleven won a 60 skirmish from
the Lincoln Parkers. The other
is the completed arrangements
for a Central-Georgetown Prep
game on Tuesday, November 81,
which will have all the earmarks
Of being a contest for the high
prep championship Of the city.
Well take the Eastern-Tech
development" first for discus
sion. Right here you have a de-
velopment that is really a develop
ment when all angles are con-
Gidered. .
At the outset, it can be said
that the Central eleven is prac-
tically "in" as far as the 1888
Interhigh school series football
championship is concerned: This
thought easily reaches the boiling
point by the fact that Eastern's
loss yesterday puts only Western
in Central's path for undisputed
tonors, which team Central meets
next Tuesday in what will be the
finale Of the interhigh school
series schedule for the spirited
campaign Of 1888.
Let Chance Slip
Eastern had an excellent chance
TO tie Central for final honors by
triumphing over Tech, but the
Light Blue and White machine let
, the opportunity slip through us
fingers and as a result Teen
scored a decisive 60 victory 10
lust about clinch second place IN
the league standings. ,
The Manual Trainers copped
this most important fray on q
break, but it scored a victory 1or
them Just the same. It came IN
the second quarter with Eastern
in possession of the ball on their
own 2O-yard line. Lewis, center
for the Lincoln Parkers, missed
signals. cor something" with his
backfield teammates and before
anyone could catch their breaths
the ball was seen bouncing be-
hind the Eastern goal line.
Johnny Mclean, alert Teen eno'
bounced upon the oval and Tech
was accredited with touchdown
that proved enough to win as
the final battling proved.
Fumbles at the most important
moments kept Eastern from pos
sibly winning the game later as
in the fourth quarter the Lin
coin Parkers advanced within six
yards of Techs goal line. But a
tumble by Mccarthy spoiled the
chance, as Alley, big fullback,
recovered and Tech punted out
Of danger.
Should Be Good
Now, as to the Central George
town Prep game, it promises to
be a humdinger in interest as the
two teams have just about been
the class in their respective
groups this season. Central will
most likely be the 1888 high
school champs by the time the
contest is played while George
town Prep will easily be the top
notcher Of the prep school divi-
sion.
First efforts to schedule the
game were begun several days
ago when Coach Joe Gardner, OF
Georgetown Prep, sent out "teel'
ers" to Central for possible ar
rangements. Central was most
willing to play but could not de"
termine on a definite date be-
eause of other outside" games
after the close Of the inter-high
series.
Yesterday, Burt Coggins, coach
Of Central, and Gardner got their
heads together and agreed on a
date acceptable to both teams.
It was Tuesday, November 81,
which date will see the two teams
