City Prep Grid Rivals Tangle

John Ford, Carnegie’s captain and ball-toting ace, will be the chief scoring threat when the Irish tackle Shortridge tonight. He is shown above carrying the ball. Breen, Cathedral half back, is shown talking over plans with Joe Dienhart, the Irish coach.

Another brilliant battle between city prep rivals of long standing is expected tonight when Cathedral and Short, idge collide under the arcs at Butler bowl. Tonight’s renewal of the classic between the north side schools probably will eliminate one strong contender from the city championship race. Although Cathedral holds a slight dope edge, the outcome is regarded a toss-up. With the exception of Bob O’Neal, husky tackle, who may be out with a knee injury, the Irish squad is in top shape, according to Coach Joe Dienhart. O'Donnell may be seen in O’Neal’s post. Captain Phil Thompson, brilliant Blue field general and stellar ball carrier, is on the Shortridge hospital list but is expected to get into action tonight.
