he Isn't a cracker jack. He went in,

for the remainder of the nensen.

during the last two wecsk. was called
en te direct the team play In the open epen
lne League game with Ciermantewn. Jee
played a pence of n game, but Welllcr
found thnt he would be of mere value as
fullback. Therefore he was shifted.
He was net able te plriy bin new posi

player, plays nebbv ball, but his weight
is a&ainit him. He tips the benm nt a
fraction mere than 130 pounds, lie was
tee light, se Warren started te leek for
1 new back.
In the meantime, Witherow. wiie had
returned te school, was ineligible. I.ut
his difficulties with the faculty were
itraightcncd before the big gnme with
Frankford. .Telinny was erlgliially nn

as received with open nrniH, instructed
the new plays nnd signals nnd was
renrtv for the battle.
What happened in thnt game is tcho tche
laitic history. Frankford looked for
ward te nn easy victory, but much te
Its surprise was completely outplayed
by the opposing team.
Witherow was the ttnr of the gnme.
He called his plays at the right time;
Instructed his boys where te play for
the Trankferd bncks; nnd ns n result
gained n glorieHs moral victory. It wns
enlv through the medium of a blocked
kick that the lenni from the home of
the Yellow Jackets was able te cop the
decision.
A Great Play
Johnny made one of the gientest
piny cer wltne.s"cd bv a school foot

After ubeut three minutes of the open

The Itsd and Black put up n much

UPSETS ARE LOOKED FOR
JOHNNY WITHEROW
West Philly High's crack quarterback
lied n couple of touchdowns. lie kicked
two goals a'se.
Makes Ient; Itmi
A "ii-ynrtl run for a touchdown was
another of Johnny's stunts In the
Northeast nffaii . Hewmit, one of the
Specdbeys' iilnjcts was found guilty
of holding, .mil the sceie was net al
lowed. Witherow is one of the biM school
boy pliijcrs here when it comes te run
ning back punts. It t u rare occa
sion when lie is unable te carry the pig
skin nt least lti j aids. He can punt
well. also. hl!e one of the best fea
tures of his game is his end l mining.
"Gelf-suit" Johnny, as he is known
te the students of Wl-s Philadelphia,
does net confine his ith'etic ability te
football s?one. He is a star basketball
player, nnd has been a member ef the
squad, which also is coached by Warren
Wcillcr. for the last two seasons.
.lehnnj will be cnidii.ited ft ..in the
Walnut strtet institution this June.
He lins net decided nt which college
or university he will matriculate.
The second round hi the Philadelphia
,y ,Ynr,l Football League ntartcd
with the playing of the game yesterday
between the V. p,. Marines nnd Nnvnl
Hespltnl. This week will probably go
n long way toward deciding the cham
pionship, ns the undefeated Michigan
outfit clnshcs with the Itccelvlng Htn Htn
lien tedny. Twe victories for He
ceiving last week boosted It In the
standings, nnd Lieutenant Commander
uulurnnsen snys the depe will In nil
probability be upset as he expects the
games in the closing half te be harder
fought thnn ever.
The blucJnckotujirevcd themselves ci
celjcnt miidherscs during the week, as
the games were played In a sea of mud.
On account of the slippery field numer
ous casualties resulted, especially
among the Marines.
The t". 8. H. Hannibal put up a
strong game against the Receiving Sta
tion, losing only by one touchdown, 7-0.
Sanders nt end, nnd Willis nt hnlf
plnycd a fine gnme en the defense for
the Hannibal, while Carpenter, nt qunr
tcr, nnd Keyscr, at gunrd, excelled for
Receiving Station. Beth teams Arc de
veloping rapidly.
The biggest score of the sensen was
rolled up by the Mlelilgnii against the
Nnvnl Hospital, when the Medicos were
defeated 47-0. The whole Michigan
outfit played the best game of the sea
tort. However, Hospital was handicapped
by the nbsence of three of Its IJcst
plnycrs. who were nursing miner Inju
ries. They will be back this week and
will undoubtedly stage a comeback
when they go up against the Marines.
Receiving Station nosed out the Ma
rines by one touchdown, 7-0. The Ma
rines put up p. stubborn defense nnd
the game was unusually hard fought.
Receiving Station scored en n long for
ward pnss In the first quarter. After
that it wns nip nnd tuck. Fumbles
were frequent en account of the wet
