For tho first time since the teams ever
played in a high school series together
Business defeated Eastern yesterday aft
ernoon By IS to O. only once during the
whole contest was tho Stenographers'
goal IN. danger, when just before the con-
clusion Of the first half, Parker. by two
pretty runs through tackle on delayed
pass, carried the ball 10 the opponents
1O-yard line. Business held strongly, how
ever, and the half ended as the ball went
to the Orange and Blue on downs on
their 4-yard line.
The Business eleven showed a remark
able improvement over their last exhibit
ton, and outplayed the CAPITOL Hill team
at every point The Interference was
strong and compact. the back field was
fast and showed n better knowledge Of
picking the holes IN the line, but pos
sibly the greatest surprise was in the
showing Of the line. In which Lully,
Bridget. Rathbone, and Schmidt did the
best work.
Put Up PIuclEy Fight.
Eastern, although beaten soundly by
the Stenographers, nevertheless played
plucky game. and the shift Of the back
field proved 10 be a good one as these
men were elusive and made good gains
on the desperate attempt for touchdown
at the close OF the first period. The game
was important in that the losing team
is now holder OF last place, and the Bust
ness snap and aggressiveness are the
things which undoubtedly won them the
decisive victory,
Eastern won the toss-up and chose TO
receive. Neither team seemed 10 have
any advantage over the other for the
first few minutes, although Eastern
benefited greatly by fumbles and Hughes
misjudging Of punts. On one of the
punts. Fitzhugh got by Rawlings and
recovered the oval on his opponents
15-yard line. Eastern was easily held for
two downs. and Dom. the man who
scored against Tech with a field goal
tried 10 duplicate the trick against Bust
ness. but the Stenographers have a good
bunch Of meddlers and his aim was
spoiled.
Lully Makes n Touchdown.
After the next punt. Lully. by a hard
plunge through tackle behind beautiful
interference, ran 81 yards for a touch
down. Shore kicked goal. On the next
kickoff, Hughes made a play which
partly atoned for his weakness on the
defensive. lie caught the ball and. run
ming through a broken field. returned it
clear back TO almost the same spot from
where il was booted. Il was little effort
for the Business men after that % make
their second touchdown. and Perry was
pushed over after a series OF straight
line bucks. Shore again kicked goal
No more tOuchdowns were made the
first half. and the period ended with the
ball IN Business possession on their
4-yard line.
The second half was shorter and the
Stenographers were only able 10 make
one touchdown, Bridget doing the honors
on a hard tackle plunge. Shore kicked
an easy goal.
on the whole, the game was a good eX-
h!biton by teams Of the caliber of these
TWO. and a thorough intimacy with the
fine points OF the game was often shown.
Parker was the star OF tho day and Fitz-
hugh and Harrison did some strong work
on the defensive. These three men are all
consistent players for their weight. and
Parker. the lightest Of the three, was the
most dangerous man 20 the Business
team.
FitzhuEh N Star.
Fitzhugh was fast on covering punts
and several times got by Rawlings to the
loss Of the man who happened to catch
q boot from Dom.
The winners put up a great fight al
around and they entertain the highest
hopes Of doing things TO Tech.
The difference between yesterdays con-
test and their game with Western wa,
wonderful, and II the Business squad car
be kept intact, and can be coached e
use the same aggressiveness ana speed
which they displayed against Eastern
Tech win have to 20 some 10 keep them
away from their goal posts.
