There is Joy in the hearts of the Western

foot ball team yesterday. at Georgetown
field defeated the strong eleven from Cen

noted in the annals of high school foot ball
by the close score of 6 to s.
1t was expected that a large crowd would
be present at the game. and the friends OF
both schools turned out In force to cheer
their gridiron warriors. On one side of the
field the white and blue of Central waved
defiance at the red and white of Western
at the other side and each play OF the re-
spective teams was cheered to the echo.
and the boys and girls sang themselves
hoarse with school songs and college -yells.
The result of the game was a most COM

The Holy Name Athletic Association of
st. Peters Church ran away with game
OF basket ball with Saks' team Tuesday
night. defeating them by score of 81 to 2.
The Holy Name boys played their usual
fast and lively game, and set a pace it
was not easy to follow. Their forwards
and centers had their eyes trained on the
basket. and all the sinew and science Of
Saks team could not divert their aim.
The effective work of the Holy Name s
backs made it impossible for Saks to hold
the ball in their territory. The game was
one of the cleanest ever played in the
Holy Name Athletic Associations hall.
Rough playing was completely eHmina ted,
and the only two fouls made were for
technical violations of the rules. Saks'
boys put up clean fight, and in the face
of an overwhelming score played basket
ball to the end, saving themselves from a
shutout in the last minute of play. The

Centrals Overconident.

1t seemed to the impartial observer that
Central lost through overconfidence. She
had poorly reckoned the material that made
up the Western team, and when she found
out her mistake 1t was too late and the
game was lost.
The game consisted of two halves OF
twenty-five minutes each. Western won
the toss and elected to defend the north
goal Kipp kicked off for Central and
Morse caught the ball on the 10-yard line
and advanced 1t 10 yards before he was
downed by Cunningham Church bucked
the line for & yards. and moment later
Morse advanced 1t yards more through
right tackle. Then Western gained 10 yards
on fine cross buck of the line.
AT this point it was evident that capt
Church had carefully studied some of the
plays the Indians use. for he worked some
several times had his men behind the line
pull Talent or Morse over with the ball.
The ball was moving toward the central
goal with great regularity. ana every one
was surprised that Centrals Hne did NOT
hold. The boys. however, took brace,
and in the next three plays held the West
ern backs successfully and forced them TO
kick. Morse kicked to the ten-yard line
and Kipp caught the ball and came back
ten yards before he was downed by Phelan-
Then Central got to work. snow ana Cox
bucked the line for gains. and Snow Went
around the left end for fifteen yards. but
was stopped by Church. On the next play
Central tried double pass. and Kipp added
ten yards to the total. 1t was increased
fifteen yards more by Snow. who made an
other left end run until he was beautifully
downed by Fletcher. when 1t seemed likely
he would get past for touchdown. Kelly
tried the right end and made five yards.
and in the next play Kipp who had the
ball, was literally carried through the
Western line for twelve yards by big Cox.
Kelly added three yards on run through
right tackle. and the ball was on Westerns
six-yard line on the first down. Up to this
time Central had literally smashed West
ern's defense. and the rOoters were In high
feather. A touchdown was now question
of only few minutes. On the next play
Cox fumbled and Morse, for Western, fell
on the ball. with the whole Central team on
top of him. 1t was a fortunate play for
Western, for there is little doubt in the next
play that touchdown would have been
scored. Western. with the ball on her Ave-
yard line, tried Morse through right tackle
but Cox caught him and brought him down
within two yards Of the goal line. Then
Morse dropped back for a kick and sent
| the pigskin to the center of the field. Kipp
| fumbled the ball, but regained it as Phelan
| came diving In.

Westerns Stand UP Well.

Central was realizing by this time that
she had fight on her hands. Kipp was
called upon to try the right end. but Morse
broke through and downed him for loss
of three yards. Kipp was more successful
In the next play and made five yards
through right end. Western was penalized
five yards for offside play. Snow, In his at
tempt to circle right end. was downed for
a loss of two yards by a magnificent tackle
by Phelan. Central tried Kfpp for an end
run. but he was downed for loss of two
yards by Rittenhouse. Then Church called
upon his men to hold fast. and right gal
lantly they answered. for Central was held
for downs and Cox was forced to kick. He
made a bungle of It, the ball going high in
the air and into the bleachers. and when
finally returned it was found that 1t had
been advanced but five yards. 1t was
Westerns ball now. and Church and Morse
made runs of four and two yards respect
lively, through the line. Talent added three
yards through right end, and Church car
r;ed the ball six yards further by magnifi-
cent team play. Talent made four yards.
and Morse and Church bucked the Central
line for successive gains of twelve yards.
Western lost the ball on Centrafs twenty
yard line. Central kicked after Phelan had
spoiled two end runs by Snow. Western
again tried the line, and Morse and Talent
gained eight yards between them. Then 1t
was that the star play of the game came
off Rittenhouse was called back of the
line and Talent took his place.
The Centrals looked for line buck. but
little Fletcher. instead of passing the ball
to Rittenhouse. held on to 1t, and by a mag
nificent interference formed by Rittenhouse
and Morse skirted the right end. and before
he could be stopped had planted the ball
behind the Central goal line for a touch
down. 1t was a beautiful end run of forty
Ave yards and was loudly cheered. Morse
kicked out. and Fletcher caught the ball d.
rectly in front OF the goal posts. Kinkaid
kicked u goal a moment later and made
the score Western 6: Central, o.
With only a few minutes to play Central

When the whistle blew, Kinkaid. for West
ern, kicked off to the ten-yard line. and
Snow advanced 1t twenty-five yards Then
by successive line bucking Snow and Kipp
made twelve yards. In the next play big
Cox was tackled by Church for loss of
two yards. and a moment later Harrington
downed Snow for loss of one yard. With
three yards to gain Snow was sent around
