kupko Becomes School Sports
Head as Grid Play Gets Hot

Tony Kupka, newly appointed
acting head of the public high
school physical education depart
ment, steps into the top spot in the
scholastic sports lineup as BOOM
ing schoolboy football system gath
ers momentum with three top
notch interhigh games scheduled
for tomorrow.
Kupka's appointment came at a
meeting of the Board of Education
yesterday at Franklin School, and
the former track, golf and basket
ball coach at Wilson High will sue
ceed j. Dallas Shirley, who leaves
a very large pair of shoes to be filled.
The new sports chief holds
diplomas in physical education from
Harvard University and Ithaca
College and also has pursued gradu-
ate work at the University of Mary
land. He has been connected with
Wilson since 1888.
Kupka was notified OF his ap-
pointment today as an undefeated
Wilson eleven plotted strategy for a
battle with Eastern, rated the
strongest team on the circuit, to-
morrow on the Green Tigers grid
iron. The Tigers are betting their
backdeld combination of Pierce
Godfrey, quarterback; Buck Henry,
fullback, and a hot pair of half
backs in Gene Taylor and Dud De
Groot, jr, against the most power
full running duo In town, Sonny
Settle and Jack Bobb, the Eastern
flashes.
Central, the team which rates
near the top on the basis of open
ing-day form, entertains a fast
but inexperienced Roosevelt squad
and Coolidge visits Tech, in the
other games carded.
The spot-game system introduced
by Dallas Shirley, in which the best
game of the week is spotted" for
Saturday, will be introduced next
week, the mentors have decided. It
has been indicated, however, that
the Wilson-Eastern tilt would have
occupied the spot" had the sys-
tenn prevailed this week.
