the race a cinch for the Smithson horse

to the contrary. Oliver SmithsOn and
the Washington crowd came over with

High Private moved a little sore going
to the post, but hardly anybody looked
to see him beaten. Martin Doyle made
the pace, closely attended by High
Private 10 the stretch. Here Blue Book

SURPRISED
BY TEAMS SHOWING
Little Did 1t Expect Such Small Score as Il to 0
Made by Tech-Winners Strong
Combination

Physically but not mentally Centrals
football players today show many evil
dences Of their game with Tech yester-
day, which was won by the latter By

play.

fought all the way. and no better COM
parison of the relative merits of the
two teams can be found than the final
score.
Again, as after the Eastern game,
many commented upon Tech using but
very little new football. The answer
seems simple. Why should a team with
the physical prOwess which Tech pos
sesses take any chances with uncertain
plays when 1t is able TO gain consistently
through the use OF straight tactics?
Tech really possesses a knowledge Of
the new game. It has a forward pass,
and onside kick, and so on, but they
are not necessary when the team il
pitted against teams OF the caliber Of
these in the present series.
Techs Ambitio3
Then. too, Tech is trying to go through
the remaining games with clean slate.
This may account for its line-bucking
style Forward passes and the ike
are prone to be intercepted by the oppO-
sition at any time. and, on the whole,
are far less sure than the style which
Tech has adopted.
Central was pretty well shaken up
after the game, in everything but spirit.
