prepSehoo|s Will Vote
On Central Foe After
Grid Tilt Tomorrow
By Bill Fuchs

St. Johns and Gonzaga win
square off tomorrow at Griffith Sta
dunn for the Goth time, but whether
the winner will get an invitation
to oppose Central for the city-wide
title remains to be seen. George
town Prep, forced to close down last
week because of polio, has re-en-
tered the picture. The representa-
tives of the prep schools involved
will meet after Sundays affair at
the ball park ticket office to vote
on the team which will play in, the
charity tilt December a.
When the Little HoyaS were
forced to cancel their game with
Gonzaga. officials decided to let st.
Johns and Gonzaga settle the issue.
But Georgetown Prep alumni pro-
tested and officials have agreed to
let the schools vote on the issue.
AS things stand now a Gonzaga
victory will give it practically
clear-cut claim to the distinction,
for ST. Johns held the Prepmen
to a scoreless tie. An impressive
win for the Johnnies might sway
the balance of the voting in their
favor. But until after tomorrow's
tilt all three teams still are in the
running.
In St. Johns the Eagles are COM
ing up against team that has
compiled a record which has left
observers dizzy. The Johnnies have
h1It fioH
Central, District public high champ,
and Georgetown Prep, and last week
came within three points of tying
Calvert Hall, Baltimore prep champ.
They also tied Charlotte Hall, but
lost to Blair and to an underdog
Dewitt eleven.
Il don't know how to figure this
thing" admits Coach Joey Gal
lagher. They seem to play hard
against the tough ones and let down
against the ones they should beat.
I don't know how to explain it. We
outplayed Central We outrushed
them, 272 yards to Y. They scored
twice on passes and set up their
other touchdown with a pass"
Gallagher describes Dummy WAL
dron as the best running back in
the city" but claims the best passer
on the field will be John Hogan Of
Gonzaga.
Hogan, Quarterback Billy Haley
and Halfback John Cosimane all
were injured on the same play
against Charlotte Hall. but Coach
Joe Kozik believes they all will see
action. Guard Tom Pagan won't,
however. He injured his leg in
pratcice Wednesday and is in
Georgetown Hospital.
! But have good passer to sup
plant Hogan in Bernie LAUGH. only
a sophomore, says Joe, "and we
have some good all-around boys.
But I'm pesSimistic. We don't have
enough experience for st. Johns
They're in and out like we are"
counters Gallagher. Its anybody's

The series began in 1929. Gonzaga
has won IL times. St. Johns five
and two games have ended in ties.

ginning at 1890, Blessed Sacrament

Three Injured Players
Left Behind, Sandifer
Is Doubtful Starter
By Lewis F. Atchison

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-A crippled
Redskin eleven rolled into town for
tomorrow's game with the Bears,
but the warriors from the Potomac
showed no sign of being licked be-
fore the kickoff. II anything, the
Skins, especially the veterans, are
looking forward to their return en-
.gagement with their arch rivals.
Center AL Demao and Halfbacks
Tom Farmer and George Cheverko
were left in Washington nursing
injuries received in the Philadelphia
game. Demao probably is out for
the season. although he thinks he ii
be ready for the final home game
against the Rams next week. Far
mer, who has a charley horse, and
Cheverko, out with a slight shoul-
der separation, are expected to be
fit in week.
The Tribe was in Sullen mood

wards thought it was good sign.
Criticism leveled at them after the
Eagle defeat stung their pride, and
reminders of mistakes made in the
exhibition game against the Bears
at Baltimore in September was salt
in the wounds.
Baugh Sees Rough Time.
If they can hold the mood until
tomorrow the Bears will have more
than token competition. Possibly
the best sign was the knot of eager
rockies clustered around Sammy
Baugh after dinner They piled the
old master with questions about the
Bears and he took them in stride.
They smell that playof dough, -
Sam told his listeners. "and that
always makes the Bears tough. We
can beat 'em. but we can't do it

You think it's easy to get back
there and call the plays, but it makes
difference when you take the ball
and turn around wondering If you're
gonna have chance to throw it or
be smeared before you get your arm
up 1t makes big difference. We
could afford to make few mistakes
against Green Bay, Boston and those
clubs but you make one Sunday and
its liable to be the ball game

Steber. in fact all the vets who've
played against the Bears in regular
league competition are looking for
ward to the game. The rockies
are a little in awe Of the midway
monsters Adams and Fred Davis,
Bear tackle and former Redskin,
had a bit of a tiff at Baltimore and
their return engagement will be
watched with interest.
Sandifer's Knee Injured.
Rookie Dan Sandifer, whose knee
was injured earlier this week when
he slipped on stair, is a doubtful
starter. although he fully expects
not only to play but also to give a
good account of himself.
The Redskins broadcasting team
of Harry Wismer and Jimmy Glib
bons pulled a spread play today with
Wismer calling the Army-Navy game
at Philadelphia and Gibbons going
South to describe the Mississippi
Mississippi State classic. They'll be
back together tomorrow at Wrigley

The Redskins had a brief workout
today at Wrigley Field, where to-
morrow at least 10000 fans will see
the game. The heavy advance sale
presages a sellout if the weather is
