Dunn and Walsh Play Against VrgnEastern Defeats Business High
EASTERN TRIMS BUSINESS
BY THE SCORE OF 13 TO O
Stenographers Are Completely OutclaSSed by Light
WelI-cOached Capital Hill Eleven.

Eastern High Schools football eleven
handed out the biggest surprise OF the
interseholastic season yesterday when
the Capitol Hill lads completely out
classed Business Highs heavy team,
winning by two touchdowns and safety
or IS to O.
Al no time did the Stenographers have
a chance to score. Once or twice a few
spasmodic gains cropped out, but East
ern's defense was too strong, and BUSH
ness never rushed the ball nearer the
Light Blues goal than the 40-yard line.
It was not because Business was SO
weak that Eastern won. but rather that
Eastern displayed the best team work
There were no individual stars In the
Capitol Hill aggregation. Each man
knew just what 10 do, and did IL. The
weight In favor of the Stenographers
amounted to nothing, as Eastern gained
through the line and around the ends
almost at will
Coach Charley Donnelly has this year
given Eastern the best team or its size
in the history of high school football
II he had the heavy material always on
manu- at Ntiif central OF DQSlntSSr there
is no question. that he would have
rounded out team that would have
swept every other high school aggrega-
ton of its feet
Capt Parker's swork for Eastern yes
terday stamps him as the all-high school
quarter back for 1910 He used rare
judgment at all times and seldom failed
20 make gains when he rushed the ball
himself.
With the exception of Scott. Zappone,
and Black, who displayed real fighting
spirit until the last, the other men on
the Business eleven were badly out
classed. and how this team held Tech
down to a 6-to-O score still remains
mystery.
The Game I'm Detail.
The game opened up by Scott. OF Bust
ness, kicking of to Parker. who rushed
the ball back yards before being down
ed by Dodge. The Eastern team then
proceeded TO make one OF the greatest
marches down the field that any one ever
saw In a high school contest. Eastern
went from the Z-yard line on eight first
downs for tie first touchdown OF the
game, the Eastern backs alternating car
ryins the oval for gains aggTegating from
to yards on plunge only three end
runs We're tried. and they resulted IN
gains for the Capitol Hill lads Chase
kicked the goal after the Fasteners
showed Parker over the line. making the
score: Eastern, 6: Business. O.
The teams lined up again. This time
Business chose 10 receive and McCaf-
fiery sent the ball sailing down the field
TO Doe. who fumbled. but Harr recovered
it and made yards before he was pulled
down. on a trick play. Rathbone went
through the line for a first down, and
Doe then sent him through the same
place for another first down. The ad-
vance stopped then, as Eastern's line held
like a stone wall, and on the next scrlm-
mage the Stenographers were off-side.
End OF the first period.
The Capitol Hill lads put Up stone
wall defense in the opening OF the second
period. and the ball went to them on
downs The backs OF the Fasteners
started again on a steady march for an
other goal. but when they tried forward
pass RathbOne intercepted il and went
yards before being tackled by Defan-
dorf- Business was then held for downs
and Business repeated the same trick
on Eastern when the bali was trans
ferred. Scott punted TO Weaver and was
downed by Black before he had travelled
yards.
