SUTTON'S VICTORY DUE

George Sutton'S victory over Jake Schae-
fer in the 1872 balk line billiard cham

not surprise those who watched the pre-
liminary work. in which George showed
to the better advantage. He repeatedly
clicked off runs OF POO and better. and
upon several occasions averaged 100 In
500 and 600 point games. His better
preparatory work was attributed to his
playing the black bail against the white,

Furthermore. he was at the table from
six to eight hours every day pounding
out all kinds Of caroms, and figuring and
practiclnS how to gather the most caroms

his stroke and CareSS the worries when on
the lines, and when he stepped IN To tho
table to bank for the opening shot IN
the match he was fit and confident of de-
tending his title. SO sure was he that he
would beat all record averages in 1S1

wagers. at long odds, of course that h..
would average 20.

The Techs are the best team that
the local high schools have ever sent
out as champions. Every man is star
in his position. and is generally picked by
the critics as the best all-around team in
the city. That the team has been train

Hecox was shown by the fact that in
these days of uncertainties in the game

goal line for touchdown.

to dispute over a decision. the Techs
left the field forfeiting the game This
will not be repeated in the coming game,
as it is agreed that officials Of known
ability in wise concerned with either
