test. which virtually decided the District
independent football title.
1t was by far the most strenuous
game the teams have had this fall,
the bracing weather bringing the men
up to the most spirited sort Of play. In
the closing half 1t was necessary to
rake a number Of changes because of
injuries. Lee Martin. the old Eastern
High star. who. together with Joe Gle
bel. was playing the best game for the
winners. had to give way toward the
end, suffering from q fractured Rib,
while Hartley no injured his shoulder
that substitution was necessary. Ellis
and Collingsworth also suffered minor
injuries.
Lieutenant Sultan, who once did great
work Tor West Point en- the gridiron,
played a great defensive game for the
Engineers, backing I'D the line excel
lently AMI time after time bringing
down the runner after the forwards ha d
been swept aside
Once the Engineers worked the ball to
the 6-yard line. and on the third down,
where forward pass was tried, the
man to receive it was well out by him
self and not more than a yard from
the goal line. but he fumbled. and tho
Engineers did not have another good
chance Of evening the score.
