Infelhigh Clash


Three important Interhigh
League games this afternoon
and q clash between Gonzaga
and Washington-Lee at 8 o'clock
tonight at WI highlight a 20
game weekend scholastic foot
ball schedule.
However, what may evolve into
one Of the best games in the
area this season will be the
Hopewell George Washington
contest at Alexandria tonight.
The Presidents, with a pre-
season ranking as the No. !
schoolboy team in the Metro
politan area, are undefeated in
two games. In Hopewell, they'll
meet q team that has lost only
five games in so over q six-year
span.
G. w. Faces Tough Foe.
Hopewell opened its season
with an impressive victory over
Covington High then lost to
Portsmouth last week. Signifi-
cantly, Hopewell hasn't lost two
in a row in the last six years
and will be out to preserve that
record tonight. One OF its five
losses in the so games was to
George Washington, 1877, last
year.
Actually four Interhigh games
are on tap but the Bell-RooSe-
velt contest hardly figures to
rank in Importance with the
other three. The top game is
Coolidge at Tech. The other two
are Wilson at Anacostia and
Phelps VS.. Armstrong at Car
dozo stadium. the latter q Divt-
sion II game.
Tech and Coolidge are IN the
Western half Of Division I and
today's winner will have taken
a big step toward making the
championship playoffs. Both are
power-laden in the backheld
and the outcome Is q toss-up.
