George Washington High OF Alex

son tonight when Coach Rasty Do
ran sends q well-balanced eleven
against James Monroe of Fredericks-
burg, last years class B champion in
Virginia. The game will be played
under the lights at the G. w. sta
dium, starting ut 8 o'clock before

crowd of $500.

better team than the one which
won only two games and tied two

meet such conference foes as Maury

perennially is tough. Both defeated
G. w. last year and probably will be
favorites to do so again.
Crave Generals ScaIps.
Aside from winning the conference
title, the main objective down in
Alexandria is to defeat the nearby
Washington-Lee High in the ira

Little Generals plastered a 21-to-7
defeat on the Presidents. This years
winner isn't apparent this far in
advance but Coach Doran will have
q battle on his hands even with his
experienced squad which numbers
six letter men. Taking everything
into consideration, G. w. probably
will show a big improvement over
last year and win seven of the 10
games on the schedule. starting with
James Monroe this evening.
The six letter winners, all but one
OF whom will be in tonight's start
ing lineup, are Capt. Howard Hicks
