The familiar yell of the Technical High
School made the welkin ring yesterday
afternoon at American League Park,
when the whistle of the referee an
nounced the close of the foot ball cham
pionship game between Tech. and West
ern. the former winning, 1S to IL.
Notwithstanding the threatening
weather, about 1900 girls and boys, with
a generous sprinkling of the older root
ers, made the trip to see and cheer their
favorites in the last foot ball game OF
the season. Commissioners mcfarland
and West were there, and the former
started the game by tossing the pigskfn
from the side line at 2:45.
Tech kicked off, sending the ball forty
yards. Morse caught 1t, and before he
was downed had brought 1t back fifteen
yards. Tech. was penalized hve yards
for ofr-side play, and with the ball well
sent Ravanen through right guard Tor

Western for two downs, and then Morse
kicked. Du Came caught the ball and
was well under way when downed by
Phelan. Tech. tried false pass and ad-
vanced ten yards, Morse downing Du
Came by beautiful tackle. But the big
tackle was not dtsheartened. and mo-
ment later went like steam engine
through right tackle for eight yards
more. In the next play Hunt fumbled
Westerns thirty-five yard line. Capt
Church bucked the line for three yards,
and then Ravanell went through right
tackle for the additional two. Tech, with
her heavy line, was piling them up for
Western. and Capt. Church called on Phe-
Ian. The swift end skirted Techs right
end and was setting sail for Techs goal
when Parsons brought him down. West

Tech. tried the line, but found 1t solid,
and then sent her backs around the ends.
In one of these plays Du Came broke
through left tackle, and with the ball tucked
under his arm was pounding the earth in
the direction Of the WeSters' goal. Phelan
caught him after he had gone thirty yards
and brought him down with a superb tackle.
Westerns guards were not stanch and
Tech. finding the way easy: made success,
slve gains through them. Tech. continued
her fast play and rushed the ball down the
field. Backus made q nice run of eighteen

eleven from Western. So Capt Church gave
the signal for kick. and Morse responded
