Zuzu Stewart, Anacostia football
coach. today ordered complete
rest for his players following their
20-7 victory over Western yester-
day in Western Stadium, which
may prove to be the first in an
iron-man triumph for the Dis
trict interhigh title.
Anacostia now is tied with
Eastern for first place in Division
and they will meet Monday or
Tuesday to break the deadlock.
The winner will play Tech, Divi-
sion ? titlist, for the championship
Friday. If it's Anacostia, that
would make three games in eight
days.

high athletics, was unable to say

two principals involved this after
noon," he said.
Chatlin Does All Right.
The brightest bit in Anacostia' s
win yesterday was the fact that
Bobby Chatlin, star tailback, was
able to play the entire game and
showed little ill effect from a
broken hand he received in the
Wilson game last week. He didn't
throw, but his running was as
good as ever. The shifty half
back was hit hard at the end of
a 63-yard run in the fourth
quarter and left the game. How
ever, he only had the wind
knocked out of him and his hand
was not reinjured.
"The break was only a little
green stick fracture" said Coach
Stewart. "We had it well pro-
tected with bandages and it didn' t
hurt him any. He'll definitely be
ready to go against Eastern"
