NEW YORK, Oct 31.-Although
Whirlaway won't be there, Alsab will
have plenty of competition today in
the $4,000 Westchester Handicap at
Empire City, but most of it will come
from the Handicapped rather than
the seven other horses in the field.
Top-weighted at 124 pounds, Mrs.
AL Sabath's 3-year -old star will be
spotting his opponents from six to

winning championship of 1912.

Riverland Spotted 10 Pounds.
Equally weighted with a 10-pound
pull over Alsab are the Louisiana

in eight straight races before losing
to Whirlaway last week at Laurel,

clinch the seasons winning
laurels.

Chances Now Depend
On Big Teeh-C Central
Game S Outcome
indians ToppIe Eastern,
Arch-RivoI; Roosevelt
Is Easy for Tigers
BY GEORGE HUBER.

The annual Tech Central football
game frequently has decided the
high school gridiron championship
and while the title actually isn't the
prize in today's 40th renewal of this
schoolboy classic, slated for Central
Stadium at 2:30, the winner will be
conceded big edge in the race.
Either could just about lock up it's
divisional title by winning today and
setback wouldn't be fatal. Central
has only Western to hurdle after this
and Tech only Coolidge and the
current leaders are the favorites to
win those last games.
Still hanging onto hopes of getting
q crack at the title are Anacostia
and Woodrow Wilson. Both turned
in their best games of the season
yesterday, the Indians by trimming
Eastern, 14-o, and the Tigers by
doing the same thing to Roosevelt,
25-6. Anacostia's chances of reach
Ing the playoff would be enhanced
by Central victory today, and by
the same token Wilson would be in
much better spot if Tech wins.
Funk is Wilson Sparkplug.
Phil Funk of Wilson, who had been
hampered by injuries, reached his
full playing form for the first time
yesterday and his plunging was good
for from to 10 yards practically
every time he laid hands on the ball,
which was frequently. He led the
first-period drive downfield and
charged over from the 10-yard line.
Bob Crowell also had lot to do with
Tiger advances and threw the pass
to Julian Owens for Wilson's second
score in the second period.
Owens pulled in another touch
down pass from Wally Stout in the
third period and Wilson finished off
in the final frame when Crowell in
tercepted a pass from Roosevelt's
George Revitz and raced IS yards
to score.
The Rough Riders, handicapped
somewhat by injuries to important
players, seldom were able to advance
and their lone touchdown came at
the end of 65-yard march in the
last period. Bill Garner led this
drive with his passing and plunging
and plunged over from one yard out
for the tally.

Eagles, New-Spirited,
Promise Trouble

Invaders Advance Man
Drops Hint to Woteh
Pritchard, Steele

On paper the Philadelphia Eagles
have less chance Of stopping the
pennant-bound Redskins tomorrow
than you have Of buying four new
tires, but Al Ennis. advance man
for Greasy Neale's boys, was in
town today slyly limiting about
some big doings and maybe an upset
at the ball park.
The Eagles feel It's their turn to
take one. according to Al. and II
the Tribe Is expecting 4 soft touch
1t may be surprised. Ennis, 4 quiet,
retiring fellow, says the boys are in
rare spirits and have q lot of con-
fldence. They have q notion the
law of averages, plus some hard,
rib-bending work, will win for them.
"You want to watch this new kid
"Bosh" Pritchard from v. M. l." he
said. "The boys a great passer and
kicker and is just beginning to get
the hang Of things in the pro CRANE.
He's not as good as Muha, his old
teammate at v. M. T., but he's next
best thing in our book. He weights
only ITO pounds, but try to catch
him in 4 broken field
Steele = Brighter Star.
But Pritchard was mentioned only
casually. The fellow Ennis really
touted was Ernie Steele, q half
back from Washington, who al
ready has broken Whizzer Whites
mark for running back punts. Steele
slipped through the entire Chicago
Bear team last Sunday for an 30
yard touchdown run, boosting his
yardage to 264 on 10 attempts, 2
yards better than the Whizzer,
whose best work netted only 262
yards on 10 runs. Ennis seems to
think Steele will get loose with a
couple of Baugh's kicks and give
the Skins one heck Of a chase.
Tommy Thompson, a good passer:
Twenty Grand Davis, Dick Erdlist
and Bert johnson are other backs
the Eagles are counting on to help
them over this hurdle, and the fact
that Washington's line is supposed
to be one Of the two best in the
entire circuit doesn't faze them
Last week, Ennis pointed out, the
Bears gained only Is yards on the
ground and had to go into the air
to achieve their victory.
Sears Strong in Line.
The lines biggest bulwark seems
to be Vic Sears, recruited from Ore
gon State, who has missed only II
minutes in seven games this season.
Sears is credited with II tackles
against Pittsburgh. a feat that rates
time-and-a-half pay in the pro
game. And Sears will have a help
full mate in Ken Hayden, a big,
strong kid from Arkansas, who
showed plenty OF speed against the
New York Giants by chasing Merle
Hapes so yards and pulling him
down from behind to save a score.
Last week he overlook the Bears
Hugh Gallerneau after a 40-yard
sprint and nailed him, 50 the Red
skins can take warning and keer
clear Of this young man.
The Eagles also have some new
plays they hope will battle the Tribe
These, plus Thompson's passes and
the old "collitch" spirit, may make q
real ball game for the customers.
