I'VE gotta win this one" is the at
titude of Centrars football team
going into tomorrow's game at
Roosevelt. The whole situation has
changed from that of last week be-
fore the Wilson game, when the
Vikings. too confident of their own
ability, had an idea they would win
in a breeze. They mentally were
ready for little more than a practice
scrtmmage and as a result they
staggered away from the game with
their prestige shot and only a 60
score In their favor.
When practice was resumed Coach
John Jankowski found it unneces-
sary to give the boys a tongue LASH
Ing. They were sore clean through
and went to work full Of determina-
ton to ruin the next team facing
them, which in this case happens
to be Roosevelt. One trouble before
was that the players were looking
forward to the night game at Grit
nth Stadium on October % against
Washington-Lee and letting the
games until then take care of them
selves, but Washington-Lee Is
secondary matter now.
Rough Riders Big Prey.
Roosevelt must be disposed of first
and for several reasons the Vikings
are very serious about it. For one
thing, the Rough Riders appear
very tough In view of their upset
victory over Western. 1877, two
weeks ago. And there's the matter
OF revenge. Last year Roosevelt
team that didn't win a game all
year played to 14-14 tie with Cen
tral, which otherwise won everything
IN sight. And the year before the
Riders won, 7-6, and neither time
did Roosevelt have a team rated
anywhere near as good as Central's
It seems that Roosevelt. whether
1t has a good team or not, usually
can make things tough for Central
and this year the Riders are better
than usual
There probably will be one shift in
the usual Central lineup. Ned Bro
gan may start at left halfback, with
Bob Troll shifted back as reserve
fullback. Brogan Is good passer
and runner and has been perform
ing especially we'll in this weeks
boys five or six new plays to spring
on the Riders and Brogan has been
taking the halfback spot in signal
drills.
At Roosevelt, Coach Artie Boyd
AYERS the Riders were lucky against
Central for the last two years and is
hoping for more of the same tomor-
row. Otherwise he doesn't see how
his boys can be expected to more
than give the Vikings an argument
for a period or so.
Porky King to Return.
The team will be at full strength
again with the return OF Porky
King, its big tackle. who was out
with several strained muscles. He
played a little against Randolph 4
Macon last week and probably will
start tomorrow. The Rider starting
backfield will include Pete Mifflin,s
Jrv Kolker, Irv Morris and Bill Gar
ner.
The other half of tomorrow's
championship series program has
Coolidge at Western. Western ordi-
narily would be favored against a
team playing its first year in the
big time but it isn't conceded much
of an edge now. The Red Raiders
have lost their last two starts
they were up against tough compe-
tition. it might be noted-while
Coolidge, after holding Anacostia
to one-touchdown victory. had a
romp over Hagerstown last week.
Among the other important tilts
on tomorrow's schoolboy program
are st. Adams at Baltimore Boys
Latin, and Landon at st. James,
Hagerstown. Both are Interstate
Academic Conference tits The
Saints won this title last year and
