come to grips again to-
morrow In the Central Stadium
at $3.50 o'clock, and a crowd OF
some 5000 is expected to turn out
for the schoolboy classic.
While a CentralTech battle ever has
q glamour of its own tomorrow's struggle
Is particularly important, since it is
sure to be big factor in deciding the
title and may settle the championship.
Tech and Central both are undefeated
In the series, as is Eastern. 1t will be
the second clash between leading con-
tenders. Eastern and Central fought
to a 90 tie in the series opener.
Central Is given the best chance to
humble its old rival since 1927 when
the blue was 1910 victor over Tech.
That year the series ended in triple
tie among Central, Eastern and Tech.
Incidentally, Mckinley has not lost
game in the series since, having won
"a straight clashes and amaSslng a
total of 535 tallies to 80 for its op-
ponents, a ratio of nearly II to l. And
the Gray has blanked its opponents in
all but seven of these games.
TT MAY be that tomorrow's encounter
will resolve into a thrilling battle
Of the air. Both teams have shown
ability to get yardage through passing.
Pisani of Tech has proved himself an

ability to snag 'em. Kocsis appears
Central's best bet at shooting the oval
through the ozone and Stewart has
demonstrated he can grab the flying
pigskin.
Both teams also have boys who can
really "go to town" with the ball Lit

good for yardage just about any time
he is called upon. and Pisani, Alley
and Coutts have been consistent gain

the big shot in Centrals along-the-

and Little Billy Richardson. Along the
stalwarts.
While Central Is favored in many
quarters it would not surprise this
observer to see Tech once more down
the Clifton street aggregation. Coach
Hap Hardell. with scouts of rival teams
on the job at both the games in which
his proteges have appeared, doubtless
has kept 'em under wraps. The queS-
ton is Just to what extent he has done
this. Central apparently has not cov-
should Central conquer Tech Its fol-
lowers will figure it just about in with
the title. Western alone then will
remain in CentraPs title path and
while the pupils of big Dan Ahern
doubtless have improved it is believed
Central will be able to take them.
Techs troubles, however. will not be
over even If it vanquished Central as
the veteran Eastern eleven still will
remain to be eliminated. Eastern and
Tech are to meet a week from to-
morrow.
A SIDE from the Central-Tech game
n three other contests are carded

elevens OF the District area.
St. Adams Is to entertain its old
rival ST. CHRISTOPHER of Richmond, on

grid attractions here. 1t will be played
on the Monument grounds.
st. Christopher downed st. Adams,
1910, last year in Richmond. and the
Cathedral School team will be striving
for revenge st. Adams has won three
out of four games this season.
Western and Washington-Lee are ex-

Landon's eleven has been coming
along nicely and figures to put up a
cerditable battle against Severn.
Gonzaga was out today to avenge a
21-20 beating administered last year
by Georgetown Prep. The Purple and
PrepperS were to oppose at $3.50 o'clock
on the Gonzaza field on Benning road
AS in the case of last years hectic
encounter, the elevens appear well
matched. Georgetown has won all three
of its games, while Gonzaga, after los
ing to the strong Central Club in the
opener, has annexed two since.
