WASHINGTON BOYS
OUTPLAYED EASTERNS

The Washington School for Boys, by de-
feating Eastern High School yesterday by
score Of to 0. caused another surprise
In the calculations on the inter-scholastic
championship. It will be remembered she
defeated Western High last week. The
game yesterday was well played and fierce
ly contested. The Washington School goal
was never in danger, while Easterns was
continually threatened. the playing being
almost wholly In her territory. Eastern
put up game struggle. but seemed unable
to cope with the versatile attack of the
Wisconsin avenue boys. Her men were
lucky, however. in recovering a number
of fumbles and muffed punts OF her OPP
ponents
Mccartney was easily the star Of the
game. HIS long runs and fierce bucks made
possible the touchdown scored by Britton.
The all-round playing Of Capt. Bliss. the
line bucking of Britton, thirty-yard run
by Flowerree on a criss-cross and the
defensive work of Dresser were also feat
ureS
For Eastern. Pyle at tackle and the line
bucking of Martin and Dodd merit praise.
1t seemed that Eastern put up a better
game against Washington than did West
ern a week ago. and could she be well
coached would be a factor In the Inter-

terday afternoon at National Park by a
score of to O. The game abounded in
punting and open play. The rain. which
fell before and during the contest. made
the field very slippery and handicapped the

much on rushing the ball.
Cunningham. the preps' captain, who
played with the Wesleyan University team
last season, is also coach OF the team. He

Technical, did the kicking for his team.

more points.
Technical scored It's touchdown after two
exchanges of punts. They landed the
bal on the seven-yard line but were held
for downs. Cunningham punted thirty
yards to Thiele who ran 1t back to the
five-yard line. After three line plunges
Thrall was showed over for q touchdown.
Capt Thiele missed goal.
For the winners Mess at left end, played

from behind caused the Army and Navy
team the loss of great deal OF ground.

The losers relied too much on Cunningham

the proper interference and covered little
ground. On the defense he did fine work.
