I pionship, meet at Griffith
Stadium. Game time is 8 o'clock.
Both teams have a strong
defense. but of it's record and
Ia possible stronger backfield.
Anacostia is rated a one-touch-
down favorite.
The Indians had an 8-0-2
season, including the Interhigh
League championship game with
Cardozo. st. Johns, Catholic
League titlist, finished its sea-
son at 4-3-2.
One of the ties by Anacostia
was 90 with Gonzaga. a team
which st. Johns defeated for
Its league championship. 1870.
The other tie was TT, against
st. Johns.
In the st. Johns game, the
Indians were without their star
fullback-tailback, Max Disha-
room, who was on the bench
with leg injury. He is in shape
now and his hard running and
passing furnish the reason for
Anacostia's role as favorite.
For the Cadets the shoe is on
the other foot. Halfback Johnny

action if any at all tonight. He
tore a ligament in his left
shoulder last Sunday in the Con-
zaga game and in all probability
will ride the bench.
The city championship series
is all even. The high school
teams have won four times, the
Ipreps four, and there have been
four ties.
