Tilt With Gonzoeu
BY GEORGE HUBER.


The high schools have two foot
ball games listed for Armistice Day
with Dewitt playing at Western at 2
O'Clock and st. Johns at Eastern at
2:3o. The Dewitt Western game is
moved up from Friday, while the
other game was postponed from sew
eral weeks ago because of rain.
Neither Western nor Dewitt has
been hitting the winning trail re-
recently, Western having lost to its
neighborhood rival, Wilson, only
last week, and should be fairly even
ly matched. Wakeman Allen is the
big noise with Dewitt and does al
most everything we'll, kicking, run
ming and passing. AS he goes so
goes Dewitt.
Westerns chance will be enhanced
considerably if Welles Fendrich is
able to play He had to miss last
Fridays game because of a cold.
He's a tough plunging fullback. If
he's in there the Red Raiders are
able to mix up the attack because
Duke O'Connell's passing always is
dangerous If Fendrich isn't in
shape. by tomorrow his spot again
will be taken by George Neam,
usually guard, with George Con-
way going into the guard position.
Fendrich a Converted End.
Fendrich originally was an end
and these shifts from the line to
backfeld are a tipof on one reason
Westerns isn't as good as usual this
season. There just aren't enough
reserves around to take care of few
injuries or illnesses.
Scheduling of the st. John S. East
ern game for tomorrow gave the
Johnnies three games within 10
days. Last Friday they played Tech
to q 1913 tie and next Sunday at
Grifnth Stadium comes that big
game Gonzaga. Before the Tech
tie, st. Johns had won three straight
games and probably will be rated
the favorite over Eastern tomorrow.
George Hughes. the big and talented
19O-pound back, is in shape to do
some real passing and running,
which always means headaches for
opponents.
Eastern is expected to depend on
its usual backleld combination of
Billy league. Tony Tore, Lou Neu-
man and Herbie Adams. Adams
and Tore have been doing most
of the gaining for this quartet, with
Adams also handling the passing
and kicking. His booting is among
the best in the CITY, OF the three
touchdowns Eastern has made this
season, two were by Adams.
Martz Is Capable Back.
Another good Rambler back Is
Edsel Martz. who does the passing
and much of the plunging when
Adams is out.
Gonzaga last week topped East
ern, 2l-6, so St. Johns showing
against the Ramblers tomorrow will
furnish some basis of comparison
for Sundays tilt.
Eastern will hold its annual foot
ball dinner on Tuesday, November
a. at Metropolitan Presbyterian
Church. at $40 pm, according to
an announcement from Principal
Charles Hart. Letters will be
awarded and a captain elected for
next year.
Georgetown Prep officials are
discussing changing the method of
deciding who gets football letters
there. Every one who plays in the
annual Thanksgiving Day game
against Iona High, New Rochelle,
N. Y, receives letter now. Last
year the Little Hoyas got a big
edge on Iona and threw all players
In during the last quarter. AS
consequence there were 26 letter
men. When a long list of lettermen
returned to this years team it ap-
peared that Prep had an expert
enced and veteran group, which
really wasn't the case. The system
may be changed to award letters to
those who have played in four or
more games.
Fridays two high school series
games, Wilson at Anacostia and
Coolidge at Tech, have been moved
up to start at 2 o'clock. There is
no school the rest of this week, to-
morrow because of the holiday and
Thursday and Friday because
teachers will be involved in the
tire registration and rationing work,
and consequently the games can
start earlier.
