EMORIES of Johnny Bozek,
M Morty Wilmer, Wes Byng,
lH Augie Roberts and others
who distinguished them
selves in that stirring gridiron
clash back in 1925 when Gonzaga,
in a surprise victory, vanquished
Central, 7-3, will stir the old-tim-
ers who turn out when the Blue
and the Purple 60 after each
other tomorrow afternoon in the
Central Stadium at $3.50 o'clock.
The encounter, Gonzaga'S first OF
the campaign, will be the high
spot of a big eight-game card
listed tomorrow for school grid
teams of this section.
However, the Central-Gonzaga fray
and a tilt in which st. Albans will
open its season against the Boys Latin
School eleven of Baltimore on the Ca
thedral school field are the only engage
ments booked for District gridirons. Tech
meets Episcopal in Alexandria, Eastern
battles Alexandria High also in the
Virginia City, Western engages Balt1-
more City College in night game on
Homewood Field in the Monumental
City, Roosevelt Journeys to Manassas
for a tilt with Swavely. Georgetown
Prep starts its season against Calvert
Hall at Garrett Park, Landon begins
its campaign against st. Andrews at
Middletown, Del, and Westinghouse
High entertains Handley High OF VIM
chester at BallSton.
~ENTRAL, with three winning games
in as many starts as its record,
is favored to conquer Gonzaga.
Orrel Mitchell, mentor of the Purple,
says that so far as his proteges are
concerned the game will have to be
largely experimental as it will be the
actual conflict.
Only two players Of the combination
that Gonzaga plans to start are really
seasoned performers. They are tne
guards, Huntington and Thibadeau.
Denihan, a tackle, and Capt. Boyle,
frJlback, who played center in 1882,
also won letters, but were not regulars.
Others listed to begin for the Purple
are McKenna, center; OConneu,
tackle; Mccoy and McQulllan, enos'
Luebkert, quarter. who broke his leg
last year in the Georgetown Prep
game, and Folliard and Moore, halves.
Connors, an end who has shown abll-
ity. will be unable to play because OF
an injured knee.
Frank Kocsis, who scored the final
period touchdown that gave central
60 win over Gonzaga last year, again
will be on the job.
Doubtless the most dramatic game IN
the history of the Gonzaga- Central
clashes, which cover three decaoes' Was
that 1925 struggle A thrilling 55-yaro
dash py BoZek, midway of the thlro
period through a flock of Central would
be tacklers, swept the Purple to victory
and the citys unofficial school boy
championship. Bozek was tackled at
the start of his dash and hurled to the
ground for what appeared to be loss.
In a tWinkling, he had rega1ned MS
feet and was off down the field, weaving
his way to the touchdown. Prior TO
Bozek's run, Central had been leading,
80 Roberts having drop-kicked be-
tween the uprights from the 2l-yard
line in the second quarter. Roberts
kicking was a feature of the game,
which was witnessed by between 5000
and 1000 persons. The defeat was a
bitter blow to Central, which was public
high champion that year, and which
prior to encountering the Purple had
swept through all opposition.
Coach Mitchell, it is interesting to
recall, was a member of the 1928 Con
zaga eleven that vanquished Central,
1872, and achieved the first victory
Purple eleven team had scored over a
Central eleven. Ode Genau, Fee Col
liere. Owen Callahan, Jack Flanagan
and Martin Keane were some OF those
who battled for the I Streeters in that
struggle.
- ASTERN conquered Episcopal, rs,
n last Friday and fans are eager to
- see how Tech, which. with Eastern
and Central is figured to fight it out
for the public high title. will fare
against Episcopal, a rival OF long
starding.
There also is interest in the Eastern
Alexandria High tilt. Central conquered
Alexandria, 1877. nearly three weeks ago.
Fans want to see how Eastern shapes
up against the Virginians.
For its game with Boys Latin School
on the Cathedral School field at 3:lo
O'Clock, st. Albans will likely start Lip
pitt and Carver at the ends, Foulois and
Greenslade, tackles; Marsh and Soule,
SldIh 11clIOCloOll, OSA1VCA 4sAAA OAAA
Henderson, quarter; Cornwell and Bach
mann. halves, and MCGEE, fulback.
The backfield has experienced talent
and the ends are seasoned players, but,
except for Foulois, the line is green.
Western expects tough going in its
game under the arcs with Baltimore
City College and Roosevelt probably
will find Swavely a formidable foe.
Cd Dnncnualf chnUad
fairly we'll in the only game each has
played, the former battling Alexandra
High to 6-6 deadlock and the latter
fighting Emerson to a draw, also 6-6.
Georgetown Prep figures to encounter
a real hurdle in Calvert Hall in the
frey scheduled for 3:15 o'clock at Gar
rett Park The Props have lost seven
regulars of the 1882 team that went
through the season with only one de-
feat.
"HE Landon team which will go up
against st. Andrews at Middle
town, Del. is an uncertain
quantity. Boo MacCartee. who coaches
the Landon boys, expects to start Davis,
left end; Clagett, left tackle; Becker,
left guard; Martinez, center; Edwards,
right guard; Heron, right tackle; Hop
kins, right end; Sands, quarter; Leizear.
left half; Castell, right half, and
Slaughter, fullback Murphy, back;
Trogo and Randall, ends, and Grant,
also a forward. are others apt to see
action Landon conquered ST. Andrews
last Fall, 1876, after the latter led at
the half, 60.
Washington-Lee High will be playing
its second game in entertaining Handley
High at $3.50 o'clock. The Little Cen
