BATTLE G0NZAGA
Dewitt and Bulls Have 1t
Out With Regular Army
and Navy Feeling.
BY BILL DISMER, Jr

sons high this week when two
/ games, as dissimilar in rivalry
i as the good-natured bantering
of a couple of kids and the antago-
nistic ardor Of two prizefighters, are
played on Thursday and Friday.
Thursday the series for the Little
Three championship will be resumed
by a game between Gonzaga and
Georgetown Prep on Benning Field.
Friday Western Highs gridiron will be
the scene of probably the bitterest
scrap in local prep schools-between
Dewitt and Bulls.
This pair of games tops the other
three scheduled for the week, during
which Friends travels to Charlotte
Hall, Landon entertains Boys Latin
of Baltimore and st. Albans goes to
Winchester for a contest with the
Shenandoah Military Academy. All
but the ST. Albans-Shenandoah game
will be played on Friday, the Cathe-
dral lads not performing until Sat-
urday.
While Dewitt and Bulls prep for
both Annapolis and West Point. you d
think they were separate service
schools striving to uphold their own
particular branch, so keen is the feel
ing. A future Army Navy rivalry well
might derive its genesis from the
spirit being imbued into the boys now
studying at the Upshur street and
Silver Spring schools.
Dewitt Seems Stronger,
IF COMPARATIVE scores are traced
back far enough, Dewitt seems
strong enough to win by six touch
downs. Bulls couldn't quite gain a
tie against Roosevelt, Roosevelt was
smeared 26-0 by Tech, Central licked
Tech by two touchdowns, and Dewitt
nearly tied Central. All Of which
means absolutely nothing when you
put Dewitt and Bulls in the same
striped rectangle and let 'em 60.
For the first time this year local
fans conveniently may see who has
been touted as the greatest running
back in the District. Adam Zinkie-
vich, Devitt's great line -smasher, dis
played his wares against National
Training School three weeks ago, but
very few ventured out to Bladensbure
road to see him lead the Black and
Gray TO a $50 victory.
Friday he's expected to go to towr
against Bulls. He won't have to &c
entirely alone, however, as Jim Nc
Namara has Frank Granier and Len
Askin ready to help out with the ball.
advancing duties.
Beat Dewitt Last Year.
IN THE meantime, what about
Bulls? Pat Mahoney has four
fast and medium sized backs ready tc
start. Doug Clark, the neat 1885,
pound quarterback; Schoonover. fast
.broken-fiel>. runner; Pearce. another
fast halfback. and Hohnfeldt, big
6-foot halfback. All are good and will
be dangerous. Should they be forced
out of the combat, however. woe will
be Bulls, as there are few Others
ready to take their places.
Bulls beat Dewitt last year, 7-6
avenging 27-0 rout at the hands oi
the same team in 1888. This, there
fore, will be the rubber" battle. Tht
