season Tor the req ana Olue. Inc re-
sistance put UP by the southtown men
was a distinct shock to the Central
players and the scoreswas, to. them, re-
markably low. The game was finally
won by score Of IS to O. The game
was played at Nicollet park on Nov. 10.
On Nov. II Central expected to play
North, but owing to the dispute over
the action of the board Of appeals in
barring certain North Side players, the
game was called off by North, and Cen
trail was left without any rival claim
ant for first honors. Shortly afterwards
the team was disbanded. -.
The team which played all the cham
pionship games for Central was very
different from that which began the
season. Dickinson, captain and full
back, Stair, right half, Corcoran, right
tackle, and Semple, sub-end, were
barred early in the season thru the op-
Grafton Of the anti-fraternity rule.
For few days it looked as if the
team would be badly disorganized, if
not broken up, by the loss of these
four men, but it pulled thru the crisis
| and finished in good shape.
Morse Deserves Credit. 2s
/ L5E
Too much credit cannot be given to
Coach Frank Morse for the successful
season. He showed remarkable tact
and skill in handlingshis men, and the
quality of football he taught was the
chief factor in the success Of the
team. ", D..
AS regards the individual men, it is
hard to say which ones particularly
distinguished themselves. While all
the players were good the games were
won by the team and not by the work
of any one man. It was a noticeable
fact that whenever, from any cause,
Central failed to play as a team it
4 failed to gain. sstssl. - 1t <a4j
Bresky, who played left end, came to
1 Central from North, where he played
the year before. His work was chiefly
on the defensive, but he made a good
showing when he was called on to ad-
vance the ball. Pendleton, left tackle,
was one Of the most reliable ground
gamers Of the team and deserves to
rank high among the line men devel-
oped this season. Putnam, at right
guard, was principally defensive
player and shone at this department
sof the game.
Earl Farnam, center was elected
captain on the retirement Of Dicken
son and filled the office well, besides
playing a conspicuously good game al
his position in the line. His passing
was accurate and reliable and his de
fensive work of the first order. Shave
at right guard, played a strictly defen
sive game. He was never called upor
to carry the ball, but seldom let a mar
thru to spoil the play behind him
Hoagland, right tackle, was perhaps
the most reliable man with the ball OF
the team. In fact his play was almos
entirely offensive, and he probably
gained as much, or more, ground as any
of the backs. Saxton played right enc
!, with credit to himself and profit to TIL,
4 teams His punting was always a feat
= ure of the Central game.

the team well. Carpenter, left half
was a good man for end runs and othe
