Those struggling Roosevelt and
Woodrow Wilson scholastic football
teams, which have compiled a COM
bined record Of a scoreless tie and
two touchdowns in nine games, fear
they still will be searching for their
initial victories of the aging cam
paign when the DUST has cleared
from engagements this week.
Artie Boyd, a capable coach who
Unanswered Eastern to its first
football championship in 1887, has
had more than his quota of head
aches in his first year at the helm of
Roosevelt's fatteringly labeled
Rough Riders.
Roosevelt, though, is displaying
improvement. At least, it scored
a touchdown against Tech in its
last game, which is more than it
accomplished in four previous tiffs.
Artie's outfit has absorbed five sue
cessive defeats, scoring only
points to the opposition's los, but
this week the Rough Riders are
nursing fond hopes of crashing the
blue ink side of the ledger by up
setting Anacostia.
1t Isn't Boyd's Way.
Allowing opposition an average Of
three touchdoWns isn't Boyd's idea
of entertainment, but with Ana
costia's Art Faircloth, Bill Spencer
and Joe Farmer poised to puncture
the hapless Roosevelt line come
Friday, the outlook isn't rosy.
Wilson'S record is slightly less
sour The Tigers own a scoreless
tie with Landon School and have
been beaten by Eastern, George
town Prep and Anacostia, scoring
their only touchdown in the latter
game. In stacking up against Gen.
trail Friday at Central Stadium they
are staring at almost certain defeat
again.
The high light of the week will be
provided when Eastern, appro-
priately leading the eastern divi-
sion OF the public high series title
scrap, tangles with Western, tied
with Central for the western divi-
sion lead, in another series battle
Friday at Eastern Stadium.
Eastern, with two seriej victories
IN as many starts, may step into the
role OF spoiler, for triumph over
Western would mean Western then
would be forced to whip the highly
regarded Central team, providing
Central beats Wilson, of course, even
to tie for the western division title.
Should Western hurdle the East
ern barrier. it is likely the largest
series crowd of the year would con-
verge on Central Stadium November
II to view Western and Central COL
Tide for the western division crown
and the right to face the eastern
division winner for the series cham
pionship.
Little Generals Meet Calvert.
Washington Lees hard hitting
eleven, with string of seven sue
cessive victories, will place its unde-
feated status at stake against CAL
vert Hall in a game at Ballston, Va,
on Saturday. Coach Johnny Baker
is hoping his club, which has scored
So points in its last two games while
banking its foes. will maintain
that pace against the invading Bal
timore outfit.
George Washington High of Alex
andria, regarded by Baker as the
chief threat to Washington-Lee' s
chances of ploughing through a
tough 10-game schedule undefeated
and united, will invade Lynchburg
Va, on Saturday for tilt with E. C
Glass High. The Presidents have
displayed marked improvement in
recent games, tying Central, TT, and
smearing Lane High of Charlottes-
vile, 20-6
Heading the prep school card will
be a game between Landon School
and st. Adams Friday at ST. Adams
Field. Landon dropped bitter TO
contest to Boys Latin School last
week at Baltimore, moving to Latin s
3-yard line as the game ended, while
st. Adams suffered an equally dis
turbing 1918 loss to Georgetown
Prep
Completing the card, Devitt's
strong team will journey to Fork
Union Military Academy for a Fri
day game. Dewitt was dealt 1915
defeat by Mount st. Mary's frosf
