with a sponge, determined
band of Georgia schoolboys
today eagerly will grasp an oppor-
tunity to elevate Southern scholastic
football when they clash with the
most powerful squad of high and prep
school gridders ever pooled in his
sector.
But Monroe (Ga) A. and M, one
OF the better prep outfits in the South,

cision, which naturally is expected to
be lacking considerably in the local
club that has been drilling as a unit
only short time.
The intersectional tilt, first in the
scholastic realm here since $4,000 fans
fiocked to Griffith Stadium to see
Central High trounce an all-star
Mexican team in 1885, is expected to
lure 5000 spectators to the Cardinal
bowl and buoy the fund to provide hot
lunches for Washingtons under
nourished school children.
Numbers Should Prevail.
TOSSED at the Georgia lads, who
call themselves the Golden
zephyrs, will be four teams-one for
each quarter-and unless Monroe's
machine is cast from steel or the

star bunch. the seven coaches who
tutored the local boys likely will de-
eide to insert their strongest club and
save embarrassment. In that case the
starting lineup probably will view

of the coaches to employ every player
on the squad.

Georgia Tech grid great, Monroe has

have been factors in compiling rec

one tie. Most of these games were

Georgia Tech yearlings.

all-high stars as Jack Belote of Tech,
Charley Jones of Central, Ed vasvary
OF Roosevelt. Paul Kober of Eastern
and Morris Snead of Western.
Honored on the starting team have
been three of Washington Highs
crack club. From Johnny Bakers un-
defeated squad come Jim Milks, Joe
Bunch and the feet little Tommy
Simpson, all standouts throughout the
season. Other Little Generals who
will get in the game later are Roland
Cocker and Denver Lacey.
The au-stars will have four we'll

player was selected on his all-high rat
