AL Hart. husky and dusky how

tonight at Turner's Arena. where he
meets Jim Howell in an eight-round
bout co-featuring an all-club fight

portunity and he is prepared to
make the most of it.
Meeting Louis would be nothing

up to a fair bout. Arriving in this
country after toiling as a laborer
in a South African diamond mine,
Pierce has 10 consecutive victories
to his credit-which constitutes a
new record for invading British

draw in his most recent bout, and

After a drab start that had many
of its followers somewhat discour-
aged. Eastern High Schools football
team now is in the enviable position
of leading the eastern section of the
interhigh title series, position
Coach Mike Kelley has been gun
ming for ever since he took over
the reins of the Lincoln Parkers in
September after a six-year absence
from the drivers seat
The three games Eastern lost to
outside teams earlier in the season
failed to trouble Kelley seriously, for
as he said before the campaign be-
gan he did not know just what kind
of material he had and that it would
take time to find out. When the
team beat Anacostia the other day
to zoom into the high school lead,
those early losses were forgotten,
and right now the other teams in
the series are going to find it in
creasingly difficult to conquer the
boys in light blue.
Although he has been without the
services of his two star ends, Bob
Byers and Bob Custer, who suffered
injuries that probably will keep them
out for the duration of the series,
Kelley is optimistic about the future.
His system of alternating two sets
OF backs has proved highly success
full. While Eastern didn't run up
any big scores against Woodrow
Wilson and Anacosita. it scored five
touchdowns while holding the enemy
scoreless.
Eastern Line Praised.
"The line has exceeded my fond
est hopes" Kelley said. In the
last two games-against Wilson and
Anacostia-the line has not yielded
a single first down. And speaking
of first downs, my team has made
total of 81 in the last two games.
Against Anacostia we made II and
held the Indians to four or five,
three of which came in the first few
minutes. None was through the
line, though"
Kelley thinks he has two Of the
best guards in the schools in Bob
Pieri and Van Vaniglito, both 200
Founders, and is more than pleased
by the play of his reserve ends, Bob
Woolwine and Wiggy Kidwell.
While 1t lost to Episcopal, Wash
ington-Lee and Gonzaga at the
start of the season, Kelley says his
team has not yet played bad game.
I'VE lost those games before the
team caught on to the Notre Dame
system I inaugurated, but think 1t
did we'll at that. The Gonzaga
game was tough to lose as you can
Judge by the 7-to-6 score, but since
then the boys have improved con-
siderably."
Perhaps the one off-key note is
the blocking, which has been only
fair. The blockers do not appear to
be fast enough. "The blocking is q
lot better than it used to be,
though" Kelley said, 80 I'm not
complaining.

over the blocking situation, but un-

Although Central has lost but
