BUSINESS FUMBLES
WIN FOR WESTERN
Georgetown Players Twice Recover Ball in Shadows
of Goal -Stenographers Lack Team Work
Winners Are Surprise.

There Is an appalling gloom at BUSH
ness today following the y to 6 gridirOn
defeat handed that team yesterday by
the dlminutivs Western outfit in the
second game Of the high school cham
pionship series.
The gloom is only logical for from
the start OF the season the StenOgrapher
outfit has had high hopes of stamping
out the memory Of previous Unsuccess-
ful. campaigns with a brilliant record
this year. All Of their optimism was
based on their little quarterback. Davis,
and when he was thrown out because of
deficiencies Just on the eve of the first
game, many Of the fond hopes fed with
him. Even then. had II not been for the
most inOpportune tampering of Miss II
Fortune there might have been a diff
ferent result, for both Westerns touch
downs followed miserable fumbles by
business players.

Right at the outset one OF these I'M
fortunate sljp-ups made its appearance,
two Business players fumbling the kick
of just long enough to allow the West
ern end TO slip in and nab the ball 1t
took only several line plunges and an
end run TO push IL over for a tally Guy.
missed an easy try at goal. From then
on until the close of the first half the
ball see-sawed up and down in mid
field. both teams conIenting themselves
with punting, Western having a shade
in this department.
Business opened the second half with
rush and, aided by one long end run,
which netted nearly half the distance
Of the field. il finally managed to shove
across the coveted Iiue. Its joy was IN
bounded when Greer booted a goal, Civ
ing his team one point advantage. But
Western was again the favored one
and recovered a blocked kick far down
in Business territory, and soon after
ward went over for second touchdown.
Western Lucky.
Western was undoubtedly lucky in
scoring both its touchdowns, but at the
same time showed a smoother and much
more varied line OF football than did
its opponents According to the Bush
ness coach. the absence Of Quarterback
Davis from HIS lineup was fatal. All Of
the plays had been built around this
individual and, naturally, the substitu-
ton OF an almost untried pilot at the
last minute tended to break up the
teams unity OF play. Unfamiliar with

|, the style Of the new quarterback. the
Business players were nervous through
out the first half, and more than one
of their fumbles might be attributed to
this fact
Business depended almost entirely on
straight football, an onside kick being
its only diversion from the old game.
On the other hand, the Western quarter
mixed things up from beginning to end.
Nowhere was this more evident than
when Western secured the ball down in

sending the runner around the end.
Business. braced for another hne-buck,
was taken completely by surprise, and
offered a ragged and ineffective resis-
tence to the play, the ball going over
for the deciding points.
Spring a Surprise.
Western was a surprise. The general
impression prevailed before the team
put in an appearance that It was far
lighter than any of the other elevens IN
the race this season. Such is not the
case. The Red and White was but very
little lighter than Business. and looks
to be heavier than Eastern. While its
hack field men are comparatively small
the linemen are stOclky, and only on one
or two occasions were the Business
backs able TO get through for sub
stantial gains. Here the Business quar-
teTDack erred in his judgment. Straight
through the first half he drove his backs
into the Western line, and only once
gained first down through this proceed
ure. invariably being forced to punt
Despite this fact he came back into
the final session and began the same
routine.
Business gives promise OF better
things Both its tackles and its back
field played good football. but not the
kind that wins games It was all indi-
vidual play. RathbOne, at right tackle,
bowled over the Western interference
time and again, but the runner was
seldom stopped without a substantial
gain. The ends did not work IN unison
with the tackle. Then. too, Business
lacked the pep which is one Of the
distinctive features Of Westerns style.
As soon as the bah was dOWned Western
was up and ready for another play.
Many of their gains were made possible
by the slowness with which Business
recovered from scrimmage-
Business has been completely upset
by this defeat. Western has been en-
couraged. Both should go better the
next time out
