throughout. Central defeated Business
yesterday in the NTH contest Of the high
school series by 10 to 8.
Central showed up with a wonderfully
fast backheld, which was generally pretty
successful in boring holes in the Business
forwards. and by forming a compact in
reference made long end gains Reuter-
and Hamilton were largely responsible
for their teams gains with their con-
sistent line bucking. and by using a great
deal OF headwork in picking the holes.
Tho first touchdown was made by Reuter-
who intercepted a forward pass and ran
30 yards to the goal
The most that can be said for the Busi-
ness eleven is its great improvement over
their last game. and tho fact that they
put up a wonderfully game battle against
the odds under which they played. At the
last moment Greer was protested by the
Central team and the coach was forced
to put in a substitute. Most Of Cen
trails gains were made through the line,
and from the fact that Greer was not
there one can easily believe that he could
have stopped some had be been able TO
play.

A great deal OF wrangling followed this
play. but at first the decision was made
IN favor OF only a safety for Business,

! Business was clearly outplayed. as its
backheld was slow. and the running OF
the team in general was done In bad
shape. but even with this considered they
