WILL enter GAMES
AFTER SINGLE TILT
Passes Up Usual Tests for
Flock of Players, but Re-
mains Favorite.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER. JR.

A N interesting experiment is
~ in progress this Spring at
4 \ Eastern High, and followers
of public high school ath-
letics are eager to see how it's 60
ing to turn out, The situation is
the more interesting because East
ern is favored to win the public
high title. Ordinarily, Chief
Guyon, willy coach of the Indians,
has 'em play flock of games be-
fore the championship series and
uses a raft of players. The early
season Eastern line-ups have been
pains in the neck to the boys who
try to keep the box scores.
This year, though, all is different.
The Braves haven't scheduled a regu-
lar game until April 10, less than q
week before their opening champion
ship test with Roosevelt. This also
will be the first contest OF the series.
The Eastern tilt ON the 10th viii be
with Episcopal at Alexandria.
One OF Easterns reasons for not
booking its usual heavy pre-series
schedule is seen in the comment of
John Paul Collins, the schools assist
| ant principal. He says such games
usually are famed out. And, admittedly,
that often is the case. Some money,
too, doubtless can be saved in the new
Eastern deal, and, OF course, this idea
Is not so unpopular these days.
There Is no loafing, though, among
the Injuns. The chief has em hustling
every day. Whether the late start will
help or hurt the Essterners in the
championship series is the question be-
fore the house. gentlemen. I: soon
will be answered,

Western. which already have seen ac-
ton, especially Western, will continue
busy, and Tech is to open fire.

There is an even score of contests

Roosevelt conquered Georgetown Prep.
5-4. and Western licked the Garrett
Parkers, 7-3.

A rather good idea as to how Eastern
and Tech compare In track strength
should be gained as the result of their
meets with Episcopal. Eastern takes ON
the Alexandrians Tuesday and Tech
goes to the Virginia city Friday.
Central's ambitious lacrosse team on
Saturday again goes to Baltimore, heart
of activity in the stick game, for a try
at the Donaldson School combination.
