Article from the Nov 11, 1927 COLUMBUS CITIZEN HIGH TITLE AT STAKE IN GAME South and North Clash Today Expected to Decide City Grid Championship South and North Hi School football teams were set for their championship battle at South Field at 2:30 p.m. Friday. Both teams have won all of their league games to date, and have established themselves as the two outstanding teams in the league. Their battle will virtually decide the title, altho each has another game to play after Friday's contest. South meets Central at South on Nov 20 and North takes on East at North Stadium on Thanksgiving Day. Field In Fair Shape While Thursday night's rain forecast a soggy field for the contest, the gridiron was expected to be in fair condition due to its quick draining facilities. With the addition of extra bleachers obtained from the Aquinas Hi Athletic Association, the seating capacity of South Field has been raised to accommodate 5000 fans, and the ticket sale gives indication that this figure will be surpassed easily. Unless it is raining at game time, a crowd of 7000 fans is expected. The line-up: NORTH SOUTH HAUBRICH, c 37 L.E. MIEULISNICH 13 ALLEN 31 L.T. AUSTIN 21 CRIHFIELD, c 44 L.G.
