Game Was PlayeL-Champion-
ship Still Undecided.
The closest and most exciting. If not the
finest, exhibition of foot ball playing that
has been seen here in late wears was put
up at Y.M.C.A. Park yesterday afternoon,
when the Central and Business High School
teams battled for the high school champion
Ship The game was not to decide the
championship of the High School League,
as the business team is not member of
that organization, but. since the Centrals
have defeated both the Eastern and West
ern elevens, to decide the strongest team
among the high schools. Two halves were
played, the first lasting forty and the sec
ond thirty-fve minutes and in that time
neither team was able to carry the leather
over the others respective goal lines, max
Ing the score of the game the phenomenal
one of o to o. At one time the Centrals had
the ball within nine yards of the Business
goal and at another the Business succeeded
in forcing the leather to within six yards
OF touch down. but in both cases little
plays happened that shattered the hopes of
the fortunate team. There were about a
thousand people in attendance
A large delegation Of young ladies from
each school graced the southern extremity,
OF the grand stand, wearing the colors of
their favorites, and occasionally giving vent
to little cheer which was supposed to be
an encourager for their bows"
The blue and orange, for the Business,
and the blue and white. for the Central,
were the predominating colors. but occa-
siona!y an Eastern or Western student
could be seen who wore his own school
colors and was not particular which team
| IN, but wanted to get his moneys worth
of foot ball playing. Both teams were very
evenly matched both as to weight and
science, and when one team would make a
gam by forcing their way. the other would
follow with neat little trick which would
give them gain of a few yards. There
was no sign of smuggling throughout the
