The Washington herald., 1909-10-30

Western had about as much trouble /
defeating Eastern yesterday as did Tech |
meal The boys from Georgetown out /
played their opponents at every stage. /
and almost without effort rolled up a |
score Of 30 TO 0. Westerns chief gains !
We're made by means OF a delayed pass,
which completely. befuddled Eastern. and
Quarter Back Guy used It throughout
the game. Eastern seldom had the ball.
and when it did its offense was weak.
Only three times did the Light Blue and
White score a first down
The game showed clearly the points
OF greatest weakness and strength in
both teams, as they were evenly matched
In weight, and it was simply a case OF
the better team winning Western
showed a thorough knowledge of the
game, whereas any one watching the
Eastern team would have thought it was
an early season game. 1t was nothing
Ike the fight they put up against Tech.
The backs seemed afraid to hit the line
and on almost every end run tried they
were thrown for big losses By the West
ern ends.
Western Chooses kfcL-on.
Western chose the kick-on and Stone
booted 20 Parker on the I5-yard line. He
was Immediately tackled by Upton. and
on the next lineup. Dom punted. and Ie-
land recovered the ball. BY three line
plunges, Eastern made first down. but on
an attempted end run Parker was thrown
for loss OF IS yards By Pierce Dom
tried an on-side kick. but the play was
blocked by Jones. and the ball went 10
Western. Eastern recovered the oval on
a tumble, however. and again Dom
punted. Guy then successfully negotiated
a forward pass TO Garner. but was then
held for downs. Dom booted. and it was
Eastern's ball on a tumble. Parker
called for a forward pass, and threw 10
BabcOck, who made 20 yards before
tackled. An on-side kick was made. and
Guy caught the oval. making 20 Yards
around right end. Scodeld made Is
through tackle on q delayed pass, and
then Western was held for downs. Dom
punted, and after the catch, Western
worked the ball TO within a foot OF East
ern's goal from where May was pushed
over for a touchdown. after twelve min
utes Of play. Stone kicked the goal
Western kicked off and recovered the
ball on downs ScOfeId was good for
large gains by. means Of the delayed pass,
and finally Garner went over for the
second touchdown. But four minutes
were left to play, and Eastern kicked on
10 Western Eastern held them Tor
downs. but lost the bah on a tumble. and
Scofield was sent over, again on the de-
layeC pass. for the last touchdown OF
the first half stone kicked ali the goals
! from touchdowns made ia this period
Western Is Again PuEzling.
| In the second half Eastern again seemed
completely at sea, and at 10 time could
fathom the strong Western Interference.
/ The Capitol Hill boys had the kickoff
and both teams reSorted 20 a lot OF punt
/ ing. on one OF these. attempted by Dom,
/ Church broke IN and blocked IT, and after
/ several gains through the Eastern line.
Jones was pushed over for another five
points. stone missed an easy goal. On
! the next lineup for the kick-of. Dom,
! OF Eastern, booted the ball, and the boys
/ from across the creek were not held for
downs once. until Pierce went over for
] a touchdown.
stone kicked the goal Stone made the
| last touchdown Of the game and added
/ point by making the goal The game
ended with the ball in Westerns posses
sion on their 40-yaTd line
! The result IS somewhat OF a surprise
/ to the Eastern followers, as the team has
had the benefit Of an excellent coach in
/ WhytinC, tire George Washington end.
l Western is possibly the only team in
the league against which Eastern had
a chance Of making a favorable showing.
and il seems a bit strange that the team
that could score on Tech could not make
more than three first downs against an
eleven that was equal to them IN weight.
