Dunbar Threat
To Halt Cardozo
.Unbeaten Streak
BY DICK SLAY

By DICK SLAY
Cardozo Highs football team
hasn't lost a game in its last Is,
escaping with three ties last sea-
son on the way to the co-cham-
IpionShipS of the Interhigh
League and city. But it's becom-
ing a matter now of the Clerks
holding their breaths from week
to week.
Coach Sal Hall will tell anyone
who'll listen that his club is not
near the strength of 1855. The
Clerks had to come from behind
for the first two of its five VIC
tories this fall. lone of these
games they might not be able to
pick themselves up off the floor"
Hall says. If there's one thing
1 admire, though, it's that they
seem to have the ability to rise
to the occasion"
In their latest game, with
Western last Friday. the Clerks
didn't have to come from behind
but they didn't impress anyone
by winning, TO. Hall explained
that Western did a tremendous
Job and that his team was look
ing ahead.
What we're they looking to?
Dunbar, tomorrow's opponent in
Cardozo Stadium.
Deadlock Last Year
Dunbar, which won three
straight West Division games
since an opening defeat by Tech,
sneaked up on Cardozo last year
for a 1913 tie. This time we're
looking right at Dunbar; dead in
the eye" Hall assures.
( While he thinks his club is not
as good, Hall believes firmly that
Dunbar has improved over 1855.
"Their attack is more versatile,
defense better, they have more
poise and good substitutes" Hall
claims. Last year Dunbar had
no one to compare with Tom
Abney at end"
Tomorrow's game at Cardozo
will be the last time this season
that two unbeaten clubs Tin
league play clash in either di-
vision. Cardozo has beaten four
West Division clubs and Dunbar
three, and the victor tomorrow
will be heavy favorite to COM
plete its SiX-game league sched-
ule without a blemish.
AnacOStia Host to Tech
Over on the other side of the
League, Anacostia clashes with
the last serious hurdle to the
East Division title when it is
host to Tech, once-beaten. Other
East games tomorrow have
Eastern facing Armstrong att
Brooks Stadium and Spingarn
playing Phelps at Eastern.
Besides Cardozo Dunbar in
the West tomorrow, Roosevelt is
host to Bell and Western goes to
Wilson. Coolidge is idle this
week end. Chamberlain plays
Woodward Prep at Fairlawn.
In other afternoon games to-
morrow, Gonzaga and George
town Prep stage another one of
their annual mis-matcheS at

Interstate Academic Conference
record clean at st. Adams and
