Tech Appears rsCinch,
Eastern Good BET TO
Reach Series Finale

On November %. the night be-
fore Thanksgiving Day, the winner
of Division / will meet the top
team in Division 2 for the District
public high football title. Tech
following it's victory over Western
yesterday. just about has the Di-
vision 2 title locked up with
Eastern in a good position to finish
first in the other league.
"It's not quite in the bag" warns
Tech Coach Ed Solomon. "I had
a team a few years ago in the
same position. We were just about
In. But Roosevelt turned around
and beat us. I'll say this: If the
boys keep their heads and play
the ball they've been playing, we'll
make it."
Tech should. The Trainers
erased their biggest threat yester-
day and standing in their way now
are Roosevelt and Bell, teams
which should give them no trouble.
Chatlin Again On the Romp.
Eastern, despite its setback to a
strong Washington-Lee eleven last
night, looks to be a good bet in
the Division race. The Ramblers
have only Coolidge and Western
to get by. Anacostia, on the other
hand. has three opponents left.
Western. the dark horse, still could
squeeze in by beating both Eastern
and Anacostia, its two remaining
opponents.

tender by trouncing Roosevelt,
1876, yesterday at Anacostia.

pable Bob Chatlin who propelled
the Indians to victory. Chatlin

passed to Aubrey Southworth for
another, skirted left end for "a

velt scored its only touchdown on
a pass from Robby Smithers to

47-0, over Bell at Wilson. Mike
Somer, not too well known in high
school football to date, scored four
times. He went SO yards for

cepted pass for the third, and late
IN the game scored on an 80-yard
romp with an intercepted pass.
Little Hoyas Put Up Scrap.
st. Johns. one of the few un-
beaten. united schoolboy teams in
this area, met more resistance
than expected in it's 20-7 victory
over Georgetown Prep in a Metro
politan Catholic League game at
Georgetown Prep.
Joe Hands scooped up a Little
Hoya tumble and scored to give
the Johnnies their third touch
down in the final quarter. The

in the third on line bucks. Pat

cepted pass and went Sc yards

ster's fifth straight win against
