Maroon Eleven Rated
To Have Big Margin
On Weakened Foe
Central Wilson Bottle
For Second Place in
Western Section
BY GEORGE HUBER,

Tech will 60 into tomorrow's game
with Anacostia big favorite to
come out with the East Division
title In its possession. The Maroon
needs only to tie the Indians to
win a shot at Western for the public
high school crown and as schoolboy
followers size up the tilt, Tech is
80 points better.
Tech would have been almost q
sure thing anyway but 1t is even
more of a favorite now that Ana.
costia's team finally has fallen apart
at the seams. Injuries and ineligi-
bilities have taken their toll. Three
players Crawford and Burback,
backs, and Graham, tackle-were
not on the passing list when advisory
reports we're handed out.
Five other players have injuries
that either will keep them from
playing or will impair their effective
ness. Trammell, center; Hoffman
and Craig. backs, and Knott and
Hulett, tackles, are banged up more
or less and expect to play but little.
Get Ready to Fight.
Even Coach ROLAND Lund, who all
season was predicting big things for
the Indians even when they were
being defeated, finally has given up
hope of beating Tech again. They
are going to try-they had tough
scrimmage sessions yesterday and
Tuesday in spite of the rainy
weather.
Anacostia for a time seemed to
have the Indian sign on Tech. It
won in the past two years and was
underdog on both occasions.
Tech currently tops the East
Division with two victories and
tie. If, however, Anacostia should
win, it would throw the division
into a deadlock with Eastern. In
that event there would be a play
off game for the division crown on
Saturday, November %, and the
city championship tilt originally
scheduled for that date would be
shifted to the following week end.
Meanwhile, We'll take a look at
the other games tomorrow. Central
does not approach the woodrow
Wilson tilt with the aplomb it US
ually shows in preparing for the
formality of playing the Tigers.
The Tigers have teeth this year, as
shown last Friday when they spilled
the dope and defeated Roosevelt,
team which previously had downed
Central.
Runnerup Spot at Stake.
Second place in the West Division
hangs on the outcome of this game.
The Vikings have a precarious hold
at the top by virtue of win and
tie, while Wilson is third with one
win and two defeats. Roosevelt al
ready has finished its series action
with one win in four starts. A tie
or better would put Central in the
runnerup spot to Western, team
it defeated in the mud only last
Monday. While none of the impor-
tant players are injured, Central
still sports a few bruises for the
Wilson game and will have had
only three days of rest.
A number OF 0tner GOOD games
are on tomorrow's slate.
Westinghouse plays at Eastern
and Gonzaga at Roosevelt in games
involving public high teams against
outside opposition. These. Incl
dentally, are the last games of the
season for Eastern and Roosevelt.
Two good prep school battles are
listed, Dewitt and Bulls meeting at
Central Stadium, while ST. Andrews
plays at Landon.
A night game has George Wash
ington of Alexandria playing host
to a Glass A Conference opponent
from Hopewell, Va.
