DECISIVE CARD IN PREP RANKS FORSATURDAY Battles of Week Will Aid in Solving Problem of State High School Title. SEVERAL CLAIM CROWN BY HF.ZE CLARK. 01 gl school football games are attractlr.g more than usual attention as the gridiron season nears its end. With the State high school championship claimed by a number of teams the games being played in various parts of the State from now until the end of the season are of much interest. To be sure some of these games do not have a bearing on the. State championship, but others hare a direct bearing on that honor. Two Indianapolis games are of interest to the local grid fans. First, the Technical High School gams' with the Louisville Male High School to be played at the Technical field Friday, after which local football fans interested in prep school teams will turn their attention to the Manual Shortridge affair to be fought out next Wednesday afternoon at Irvin field. Shortridge played a 0-to-0 tie with Technical. Manual played a 0-to-0 tie with Technical. Therefore it appears that when Shortridge and Manual meet there will be one real game resulting in either a tie score or a close score. Technical has been "pointed” to the Male High School game this week. The east side school has shown wonderful improvement from the early season form. Technical will need all its strength, for Male High School is the champion prep team of Kentncky. Reports from Louisville have it that Howard Wiles of Harvard. the Male High School coach, has developed one of the most remarkable football machines ever built in a Kentucky high school. With Capt.'Kerwin Marks and Sadler the Male H. S. eleven has a fast-traveling back field. The TechMale game Friday will sure be one of the football treats of the season. IMPORTANT GAMES OCT OVER STATE. Over-State teams have some big games Saturday. Three contests loom up in Importance. Kirklin-Lqgansport at Frankfort, Central High School of Evansville and Ft. Wayne at EvanSVille, and Kiel mond-Sheridan at Richmond. If Richmond should defeat Sheridan then the Quakers will have some claim on State honors, but should Sheridan defeat Richmond then the Quakers must be content with claiming the high school championship of eastern Indiana. There is one thing about the Sheridan ream that must be said In all Justice to that school. Sheridan has shown a Willingness to meet all comers, which can not be said of some other schools. First, Sheridan met Cathedral High School or Indianapolis, and Sheridan is the only tsnm. that has leen able to defeat Coach AJ Feeney’s outfit Cathedral has scheduled numerous games this season, only to have the games cancelled by the other teams. Some othetvteams over the State who are making claims to State championship honors have dodged the Cathedral team with extreme care, hiding behind the statement, “Sheridan beat Cathedral, 13 to 0, and we want to meet only undefeated teams.” Sheridan showed wonderful form bp to j and Including the game with Technical! High School. Then Klrlin bumped all \ of the State championship claims out of j Sheridan by a top-heavy score. How- j ever. Sheridan continued trying to meet i "any and U” high school football teams. ' Sheridan played a 0 to 0 tie with Manual [ Training High School, and when the j opportunity came met Central High i School of Evansville. It was a long trip for the Sheridan team, but the game fight put up by these athletes and the splendid spirit of sportsmanship shown J won the praise for Sheridan of all the j sport writers or the Evansville papers. ] Central won that game, 83 to 7. Now, j Sheridan Is scheduled to meet Richmond and the game Is sure to be a good one. LOGAN 8 PORT AND KIRKLAND IN CLASH. A game that will bring together two undefeated high school teams will be played on a neutral field at Frankfort. Saturday, when Kirkland and Logansport clash. Both teams are putting forth Claims to State championship honors, and 1 the bringing of these two teams together Is a step in the right direction In settling or at least narrowing down the State championship situation. Os the two teams Klrklln has met two toams which are probably stronger than any of the elevens played by Logansport. These two teams are Kentland end Sheridan, and Kirkland defeated both cf them. The one team that Logansport found hard was Rensselaer, and Logansport won from that eleven by a close score. The recent 45 to 7 victory of Booth Bend over Rensselaer causes football fans to believe that South Bend has a team that would give any prep eleven in the State trouble. The two Gary high schools also have not been defeated. Eldrew D. Clssell, editor of tbe Frankfort Morning Times, In a recent letter states that be hopes that the winner of the Kirklln-Logansport game will meet the winner of the Emerson-Froebel (the two Gary high schools) game. He states that the South Bend team lost to one of ] the Gary high schools. If the winner of the game at Frankfort meets the best of the two Gary teams It would appear that the winner of that game would have a strong claim to State championship honors. Clssell points out that “Garfield high of Terre Haute, a medlocr# team, recently walloped Central high of Evansville.” The score of that game was 14 to 0. It seems Just a little far fetched to call a team that could win by 14 points over a team that defeated Sheridan 33 to 7, a “mediocre*’ teem. Gnrfield of Terre Haute la far from being ft joke team. CATHEDRAL LOST TO SHERIDAN. “Cathedral of Indianapolis, the best fcet in the Capital, was walloped by Sheridan and thus they are out.’ 1 Clssell writes. This is true. Cathedral can not oiptm the State High School championship. However, when Shown the letter discussing the nigh school football situation, Coach A1 Feeney of Cathedral said, as he pointed to the above statement, “Wft thank him for giving us credit for being the best bizn sohool team in Indianapolis, but Klrklln would not play ua. Cathedral Is willing to meet the winner of the Klrklin-Logansport game." Bo it goes, teams from all parts of the State have their Claims to being the strongest and best. Central of Evansville In bringing Ft. Wayne High Sohool the entire length of the State for a gams Is doing much to give the critic* a dhsnce to use the comparative score route in ranking the nigh school football teams, and therefore the game is important, although both Central and Ft. Wayne have lost at least one game thi* year. The high school football championship is always a disputed honor each year unless one team shows such wondsrful strength as to be generally admitted the best In the State, wnlch was the case with Wabash jilgh Bohool last season. Three Title Grid Games on West Coast Saturday SAW FRANCISCO, Nov, 17 —Three football games, for as many titles, are to be played on the Pacific Coast Saturday.

TECH HAS REAL BATTLE FRIDAY Louisville Male High Comes Here for Grid Scrap With - East Siders. Technical takes on a tough assignment Friday afternoon at Tech field, when the ■ Green and White team meets Louisville Male High School at 2:30. This is the only local ’’prep” game on the week’s schedule. Manual and Shortridge are taking it easy for their grand finale on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, which Is supposed to throw somfe light on the present nothlng-to-nothing situation in the city public high school series. The Louisville schoo's are always strong end Tech has quite a task on its hands In the Friday afternoon battle. From the looks of things now the game will be another grand wallowing match in which the various players will emulate the lowly animals that like to bathe In the mud. The spectators will not have a monopoly on the "rooting” if the rainy weather continues. s Tech Is none too optimistic about the contest and wishes that Nipper, who is among the best athletes In the local high schools, was in better shape. Bob hurt his hand again In the Manual game and may not play any more this season. It is thought that if there Is any chance of the etar back field man getting into shape for the Steele High game at Dayton on a week from Saturday, that Coach Burgess will savO him for the Ohio bunch. The monthly report Issued this week hit the team hard Zollner, center; Garreson, left guard, and Harvey, half back, were declared ineligible. This greatl? weakens the center of the line and will cause Coach Bnrgess to shift the Tech line-up. According to the present plan, B%den, a tackle, will play center and Nlcawander will play the tackle. Unger or Roame will fill the vacancy at left gurad.

Fairfax A. C. to Uphold Local Title Claims in Indianapolis Club Game The Fairfax Athletic Club football eleven wIU be (riven a crack at tha city title next Sunday at Facies’ Park when they stack up against the veteran Indianapolis football eleven, champions of last year. The west end crew has been overlooked by the majority of the local football followers, because the team has played all Its games on the road, having made a remarkable showing against such eiuhg ns Kirklln, Arlington, Noblesvllle and Gosport. Manager Maloy of the Fairfax Club asked for a chance at the title and Manager Canning of the Indianapolis champions readily agreed, contracts being Bigned today. This will be the first home game for the Fairfax boys and Manager Maloy thinks his fighting youngsters from the west end are capable of putting up a stiff game with any local team that is in the running. Since the Belmonts eliminated the Ferndales last Sunday he preferred playing the Indianapolis team, and if the speed and aggressiveness of hl lighter eleven can offset th& weight advantages that the Purple team has, the Fairfax eleven will earn the right to meet the Belmonts in tho final game for the championship of the city.

Indianapolis!; at 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon with the rival eleven from Wabash. Daily scrimmages have enabled Coach ■Walker to see many of the flaws in the working of his grid machine which he expects to have in perfect running order by Saturday. With this afternoon's rehearsal, the Tiger drills will take on a lighter aspect. Only a short signal drill will be held Friday afternoon, It is said. Confidence seems to prevail at Wabash that the Scarlet team can "twist the Tiger's tall." The Wabash men may find this practice dangerous. De Pauw s Tigers have not lost all of their teeth because of old age. Moreover, at tiger has caused the downfall of more than one cave man. v De Pauw faculty members showed that j they are back of the Tiger eleven Tuesj day afternoon when they voted that sixthday classes should be eliminated Saturday and a holiday declared. This will permit the De Pauw rooters’ special train to leave Greencastlo at 9:30 o’clock Saturday morning instead of at 11 o’clock and will give more time for the De Pauw parade in Indianapolis and other preliminaries to the game. Nearly every student in De Pauw, men and women alike, attended a mammoth “pep” meeting held Wednesday night in Meharry Hall. Yells were given as never betore. Parades and snake dances were featured. Do rauvs sixty-piece band and large drum corps were present and I filled the hall with mnsie and Just plain j noise. School songs were sung till the whole campus resounded.

Longden gave a fiery talk which closed 1 by saying, "There is no one who will be j gladder to have you win than I.” ; Assistant Coach Charles F. O'Brien, I who has been helping In the training of ! the De Pauw football squad this season, will leave the men at Indianapolis to resume his work as an engineer with the Western Union Telegraph Company. "Obie” was captain and quarter back of the Rhode Island State College eleven during his college career and j later played under Coach Walker with the New York Aggies.
