The kickoff is set for 7::3o D. m.
In the Stadium.
When the big inflated grape
booms off youthful toe and down
the floodlighted field tonight, an
other football season win be
ushered in for Tacoma prepsters,
with Lincoln and Stadium high
elevens renewing an annual rivalry
which has become classic in its
production OF gridiron thrills.
With the blessing Of fair
weather. the prep inaugural
l. expected to draw thousands
of fans, young and old. Not
only win they view two
closely matched. determined
young clubs In action, but
they will be supporting
worthy charitable under
taking.
The 24sth Field Artillery, called
to the colors. will be guests Of
honor. There viii be about 500
present.
Each fall members of the South
Tacoma Kiwanis club sponsor the
first stadium-Lincoln tilt as
benefit for less fortunate boys
and girls.
Money Is raised to supply under
privileged children special assist
ance in the way of medical clinics,
summer outings. Christmas
parties. milk, clothing and hos
pital equipment.
ALL THEY HAVE
Though the outcome Of the con-
test viii have no effect on the
coming conference race, both
teams will be leveling with all
they have. That invariably IL the
case when the Tigers and Abes
duel
Some of the grandstand quarter
backs are of opinion that Johnny
Heinrick's blue and gold Bengals
are on the spot. After six cham
pionship seasons, Stadium is GO
ing up against Lincoln squad
that has a slight edge in the pre-
season dope.
Coach Eddie SchwarE
Abes, usually outweighed 10
to Is pounds by the North
enders, are big and powerful
this year, especially In the
line.
Forwards like Logan Blades,
Fred Craig, Chuck Moe, Wayne
Sloyer, Art Mortenson and Pete
stojack give Lincoln unusual
strength in the front wall, often
sively and defensively.
According to Schwarz, however,
the backfield picture isn't quite
so bright. Captain Frank Nor
rome, the little ex-midget halfback,
has been groomed for passing and
running duties. Big Steve Grassi,
a full. Is the line plunger. But
all four starting backs are in
experienced, particularly Heaton
at quarter and the red-thatched
Grassi.
kENISTON SPEEDSTER
Among his backfield reserves
Schwarz is holding Dick Remission,
green at pigskin packing, yet
boasting a reputation as a track
speedster. He is likely to see
some action.
The Tigers may go into the
game as underdogs, but their
canny coach won't mind that. He,
too, has sturdiness in the line
with Ray Hagen, Dick Peterson,
Jerry Williamson, Ed Dever and
Dick Hiltbrunn.
Backfield lettermen include
Leigh Moody, Jack Wilson and
Harold MartindaIe. Don Lee,
at quarter, Is untried. Moody
IL expected TO do most of the
passing and possibly some
KICKING.
Logan Blades, the Abe end, IL
Lincoln's chief punter. Another
end. Jerry Williamson. the Sta
dunn veteran. is apt to do a lot
Of the booting for the North
Enders.
Between halves of the game
Everett Jensen, president of the
South Tacoma Kiwanians; Foot
ball Chairman Jim Peterson and
Cliff Erdahl, supervisor of under
privileged activities, will address

ment will carry a running account
of the game, with HOWE Clifford
at the mike.
