Opening of the Interhigh
League tomorrow afternoon and
a meeting between Washington
Lee and st. Johns tomorrow
night highlight a 31-game week
end scholastic football schedule.
Seventeen games will be played
tomorrow and IA Saturday.
The Interhigh games will be
Western at Eastern and Cham
berlain at Anacostia, both at
$3.50. The Rambiers, 1877 vic
tors over Mount Vernon in their
opener last week, may be slight
favorites, but Eastern-Western
games over the years have al
ways been bitter struggles and
tomorrow's clash should follow
the pattern. Western played D
1918 tie with Friends in its
first game last week.
Both Anacostia and Chamber
lain will be looking for their
first victory after opening-game
losses last week. The Indians
lost to Gonzaga. 1876. and
Chamberlain was shut out, 1910.
by Laurel. The Volts hardly
figure to stop Anacostia and es-
pecially Dan Droze. An ALL
High selection last year, Droze
picked up 1872 yards on the
ground. threw five completed
passes for 80 yards and climaxed
his day against Gonzaga with q
64-yard touchdown run.
Two Cadets Injured.
st. Johns. Catholic League
and city champion, will be max
ing it's first start when it travels
to Arlington for the WI game.
Two factors would seem to put
the Cadets on the short end Of
the odds. One is the loss by in
jury of two first-string backs
and the other is the fact that
the Little Generals already have
two victories under their belts.
Coach Joe Gallagher of st.
| Johns has lost Quarterback
John Hanlon and Fullback Bruce
Hunt-probably for just one
game. Hanlon suffered a freak
accident last week. While help
ing his father prune a tree, q
limb fell and struck him on the
right shoulder. He wasn't seri-
ously hurt, but doesn't have full
use of his arm. Hunt, former
star at Fairfax, wrenched knee
in scrimmage. Dick Webb will
start in place of Hanlon and Jim
Kane will take over for Hunt.
CIV Plays Fairfax.
The Generals are expected to
60 with the same lineup that
brought them impressive victo-
ries over Fairfax and Northwes-
tern.
Two other league games of inn
portance are set for tomorrow.
George Washington is expected
to have little difficulty with Fair
fax in a Northern Virginia
League night game at CIV. Lam
don, unbeaten last year, opens
it's season at home against Bal
timore Friends in an Interstate
Athletic Conference game. The
Bears were 24-6 victorS against
Baltimore last year and although
they may not roll up such a score
tomorrow afternoon they figure
to come out on top.
