Score comparisons make the pick
ing of football winners appear a
cinch to the average follower of the
game, but participants in Washing
tons public high school title series
make more forecasting troublesome
for these wiseacres.
Take this Eastern-Anacostia game
to be played at Eastern Friday. a
mere glance at the records will
clearly point out that Mike Kelley's
Eastern team is two touchdoWns
better than Lunds outfit.
It's simple to figure. In the first
game of the season Gonzaga trunced
Anacostia by two touchdowns, win
ming 10 to 6. Afterward Gonzaga
beat Eastern, to 6. So all Eastern
has to do is play as well against
Anacostia as it did against Gonzaga
to win, 18 to 6.
There's a Catch to This.
However, there always is some
sort of catch to these things. Sup
pose, for instance, that Art Fair
cloth, Anacostia's hard running
triple threat, gets his arithmetic
mixed up and starts hitting off those
long gains he's made in every game
in which he's played this season. Or
suppose the entire Indian team goes
on the warpath and refuses to be
licked by the odds quotations that
favor Kelly's boys.
Tech went into its battle with
Anaeostia couple of weeks ago a
strong choice to win and came out
of the fray on the losing end, to O.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 1.-THE owners
of four stellar performers on Ameri-

nounced today that owners of that
quartet all had accepted invitations
to the race.
The championship will be decided
over the 13-16-mile route, a dis
tance favored by all four. Track
conditions likewise are not expected
to favor any one of the speedy
steeds.

Underdogs in Weeks High Tits
Dangerous, Despite Results
Indicated by Early Play

Even st. Johns, one of the best
elevens in the city, was all out to
hold 13-to-7 advantage over Ana
costa and through the comparative
score system st. Johns was three
touchdowns better.
Comparative scores also say that
Central will beat Roosevelt by five
touchdowns when the two teams
meet at Roosevelt Friday. Of course,
since Central got licked by WASH
ington-Lee last week there is no
telling what Hardy Pearce's defend
ing champion might do. Earlier in
the season, Pearce said his boys
were overconfident and that a lick
ing might be the best thing for
them. Now that they've had it,
they might run wild.
Riders Can Surprise.
Anyway, the &C. S." system makes
Central five touchdowns better than
Roosevelt. st. Johns beat Roose-
welt by two touchdowns while scor-
ing a shutout. Then Central came
dlO1lS dllu tAoul1SSa Nv. SO1lll NY
three touchdowns, u to Z. Unless
figures lie, that gives the Columbia
Heights team a five-touchdown tri-
umph over Artie Boyds bunch.
Yet Central is considered by many
to be no better than Western and
in the last half of the Western
Roosevelt game last week the Riders
completely outplayed Dan Ahern's
fast-stepping winners. The score,
Western, 20, Roosevelt, 0. does not
show the respective merits of the
two teams that day. Roosevelt was
superior in two departments, ground
gaining and passing.
So there you are. If Roosevelt
can make such a showing against
Western, which, remember, is said
to be in Central's class, then maybe
it can knock the comparative score
system into cooked hat (where
it already is, anyhow and give the
champions good tussle.

"We're pointing for Georgetown
and making no bones about it" said

scribbled notes and other odd bits
of information. Were working for

Reinhart laid down a pencil that
had been tracing double-reverse
play ending up in forward pass.
'"The only danger" he continued,
"is that when you point for a game
like that you frequently get knocked
off by some unheralded team like
this Citadel bunch coming up here
Friday night. We should take them
in stride, but Ray Hanken tells me
they're lot better than the record
shows, so we'll have to be careful,
but we're still concentrating on
Georgetown"
And with that running start Rein
hart went into The Citadel club and
f1guratively tore it asunder with off,
tackle plays, sweeping end runs and
a pass or two tossed in for variety's
sake. He left the Cadets on the
short end of a 2l-0 count at the
half and then drifted back into the

Yale, Army Prices Cul
In Effort 10 Fill
Bowl Saturday
10000 Scots for Public
Where Once Fans Had
To Beg for Tickets
BY the Associated Press.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. IT,
Yale and Army athletic officials
broke a precedent today by making
their football contest here next
Saturday a "two-price" event. The
action opened" the encounter to
the general public and Incidentally
may fill the bowl, something this
battle hasn't done since the pre-
depression era.
Once one Of the glamour games
Of the season, contest in which
it was necessary to write to your
Congressman months before the
date of the meeting If you wanted
to get seat at $3.50, interest in the
battle dwindled to the extent that
a 10000 gaze has been considered
tops in recent years.
Even this left some 10000 empty
seats and large yawning spaces
which the Athletic Association Off
cials eyed with sad orbits, but did
nothing about remedying until yes
terday.
Then, apparently convinced that
the general public, the, fans who
can't afford to pay high for their
football, can't be completely wrong,
the Yale and Army business man
ayers emerged from a huddle and
announced that 10000 seats would

price of $t65 each.
