CENTRAL NOSES OUT
EASTERN HIGH BOYS

With both teams playing a ragged game
the Central High School team won from
the Eastern High School boys by a mar
row margin of to s.
Although the Central boys played better
than they did in the last two games,
they were lucky to win. as the Capitol
Hill youngsters during the early part Of
the first half ran them of their feet.

FOOT BALL NOTES.

Capt. Burr will have a special harness
at hand In case he should decide to take
a chance In the Yale game.
Yale men, close to the coaches at New
Haven, claim that the shift In the lineup
made this week has solved Is per cent Of
Yale's problems.
The Syracuse team which plays Tufts
today has a strange record for SO strong
a team, having won four games, lost
three and tied one.
Quarterback Balenti of the Indians was
SO bruised In the Harvard game that he

is not expected to play against Pittsburg
today.
It is no new thing for Yale to spring
new players at the last minute. Several
Y men of past elevens did not make the
varsity until the very last week Of prac-
tice.
The new Navy arrangement, with Clay
at left halfback and Jones at left end,
looks so good that If it proves sound in
the Penn State game today 1t will be per-
manent.
There is much gloom among the Dart
mouth supporters, as the two star half
backs of the team, Hawley and Ingersoll.
will not be able to play In the Crimson
game on account of injuries.
Much regret is being expressed at SYRIA
cuse at the loss of Hinkey, whose injury
will not allow him to play any more this
season. He was a star of the first water,
and his services will be greatly missed.
These new foot ball rules keep one
guessing. and it would not be surprising
If both the Harvard-Dartmouth and the
Yale-Princeton games resulted in either
ties or scoreless contests. which would be
the same thing-only different.
Coach Yost Of the Michigan eleven will
be pleased as can be If his team wins two
games with the eastern college teams, the
one with the Pennsylvania team at Ann
Arbor today and the other against SYRIA
cuse at the Salt City a week from today.
The Bulldog is the favorite over the
Tiger in the betting. but the chances are
that by the time the game starts the
wagers will nearly all be made at even
money. which seems only fair, considering
the fact that the Yale men are battling
on the grounds of the enemy.

of the spectators by his clever and heady
work.
Jesse McKeever, who has been leading
the Central boys this year, was also much
In evidence by the excellent judgment he
displayed in directing his men on both
the defensive and offensive. The dfminu-
tive quarterback seemed to read some or
Eastern's plays and was often very sue
cessful in outguessing his opponents.
Both Menefee and Weaver, the two OPP
posing fullbacks. hit the line ike batter
ing rams, and frequently tore off sub
stantial gains through center and guard.
Menefee's long spfrals also accomplished
much toward keeping the pig skin In
Eastern's territory.
In spite of the fact he has been severely
handicapped by a muscle bruise on his
leg, Gripp. who has been holding down
left half for the Centralites. deserves
considerable credit for the .meness he
has displayed in all the High School
The little player don't know the meaning
Of the word quit. and although he was
much battered up and in poor condition
In yesterdays fray he stuck it out to the
finish.
The o street boys again showed their
! nerve when they succeeded in holding
Eastern for three downs on their 2-yard
line. 1t was a game piece of work and
impressed upon the crowd that the team
is composed of fighters and not cutters.
In the scrimmage, mentioned above.
where Central held Eastern for downs
on their 2-yard line quite few are ig-
norant of the fact that on the third down
Capt. Martin crossed the line by few
inches, and it was only his failure to
call down that saved Eastern from scor-
ing on this play. The ball surged over
for an instant but was promptly pushed
back by a Central player before it was
out Of motion.
Eastern's first stupid play occurred at
the beginning Of the second half. Meme
fees kickoff was missed by an Eastern
player and rolled back of the line. and,
instead of touching back, requiring an
other kick. the ball was rushed out a few
yards by the Eastern man. This practically
resulted In a safety for Central for on
the next play Martin tried an end run
and was thrown for a loss back Of the
line. giving the o street boys their first
two points.
Again, after Martin had scored the first
touchdown for his school and had made a
clean kick out to Parker for an attemp,
for a goal the Eastern boys again went
to sleep, allowing the ball to rest on the
ground. This made the ball dead and
robbed Eastern Of a sure point.

BATTLES OF THE PAST.
Yale Has Won Last Four Games
From Princeton,

Thirty-two years ago the foot ball
teams of Yale and Princeton met
for the first time in desperate foot
ball fray. When the battle was

Every year since then, without in
Permission or break. Yale and
Princeton have met to renew the
combat. Since 1894 Yale has won
nine games to four for Princeton,
while one resulted in a tie. The
Tigers have not won q game in
four years.

point to every touchdown.
One of the best things of the trip has
been the drop and placement kicking OF
Jack Means. the Ohio player. He has
been sending soarers of So yards, and the
coaches think he will at least equal the
work Of Allerdice, the Michigan marvel.

Georgetown and Virginia Are at It.
This afternoon Georgetown and Vir-
ginia are playing their annual game on
Georgetown Field. Both teams are conf
dent of victory. and close battle is pre-
dicted.
The Blue and Gray team went through
an hour and a half of signal work yester-
day afternoon under the direction of
Coach Newman and a large array, of
graduate coaches. This completed its
training for its biggest game
The Virginians arrived in the city last
night and Immediately repaired to their
quarters at the Arlington. large crowd
of students accompanied them. and this
morning two special trains brought 600
more loyal rooters to help along their
eleven.
The odds dropped today from to on
Virginia to even money. Both teams are
being backed heavily by their followers,
and unless the result Is tie. a large
amount of money will change hands.

REUF IN THE TOLLS.

A sigh Of genuine relief goes ur
from the thinking masses Of the
Pacific Coast al the news from san
Francisco, that Abraham Reuf goes
to the penitentiary for IA years. This
brief term does not measure at all
with the sum Of this mans iniqui,y,
but it does compel the conclusion
that justice is not dead in the Bay
City, And it means, further, that
there is a chance to duplicate, and
triplicate, the yirtuous Judgment,
time after time as he shall live
through them. There is nothing by
way of pity to mitigate the extrem-
ity Of reprisals against this man; he
was pitiless enough, God knows, in
the long gamut of his offenses, to
deaden any symptom Of softness
that may rise to check the conscient-
ious enforcement Of the limits
against him; his family is amply
provided for all time to come, and
the application Of the Mosaic prin-
cipie hts admirably here, and hence
forth. Abe Reuf has no kick COM
ing; though it may take another sort
of courage than that born of endless
wealth, to support him through the
darkened years before him.
The long and foul history OF his
crimes against civic and social law
has long since killed every vestige
OF compassion that might have been
his and his interminable, adroit and
costly warfare in the courts has left
him without standing in any tribun-
al; he was condemned utterly
months and months ago, and the
judgment Of Tuesday is but confr-
nation of the pre-concept Of his
guilt and the sentence, as far as i.
goes, finds instant and impersonll
endorsement everywhere. Always
with the reservation that IA years
may not be the end of the chasten-
ing to be inflicted.
