Ry c, w, SWAN,

Technical High eleven yesterday on
Georgetown Field, in the second game OF
the scholastic series. p to o.
Eastern's light backs could not gain
either around Techs ends or through the
line. the Machlnists holding each try.
! Capt. Weaver was the only Eastern pig
skin pusher to gain at all on the Tech
! team. and the work of the hustlIng lead
! er of the Capitol Hill eleven stood out
! head and shoulders above the other men,
! beTs of the team.
! 1t was plain 10 be seen at the start OF
! the game that Tech would be an easy
winner, and that the Blacksmiths did not
run up at least twenty points more, is
due to their inability to hold the ball.
! Several times. when the ball had been
advanced to within scoring distance, the
Tech backs would tumble. and Eastern
would punt out OF danger.
Tech was inspired. or otherwise, during
the game by the music furnished by the
, Technical Band, composed of five pieces,
who aided the Blacksmiths cheering sec
ton with stirring tunes. While the band
did not equal Sousa's, or the Marine
Band, it did help to enliven a slow
game; for, from the outset Eastern was
a loser.
"Ecky" Is the Star.
mGinstays of the Blacksmiths, the stocky
leader doing the bulk of the line pIung-
ing. Tech worked every play by direct
passes, something no other high school
! has attempted. This style worked to
good advantage Yesterday against a team
composed of green men, and whether
Tech can get away with the formations
against Western and Central remains to
he
break up the end runs yesterday until
the play was we'll under way.
Big Heine, who Outweighs any man on
the Eastern team by at least twenty-five
pounds, worked a tackle through tackle
play to perfection. getting away time
and again for gains OF from to Is
yards, while Putnam and "Mooch"
leake put up good defensive gains.
Pcake on several occasions dOwned the
player handling punts in his tracks, and
once threw COhill for a loss before the
Eastern back had started the play. Put
nam ami Davis made good interference
for the man carrying the ball, and It
was due to this more than anything
else that enabled the Blacksmiths to
score two of their touchdowns. The
other two were made by long runs,
Eckendorf breaking away each time and
gOiug down the field for the touchdown.
EckendOrf kicked off to Weaver on
Easterns l5-yard line, and the Capitol
Hill captain brought the ball back 1U
yards before being downed. Tech then
held Eastern for downs and Weaver
pUnted out. BY a series of tackle plays
and end runs, Tech advanced the ball

Gway from the field and ran 25 yards
through the entire Eastern team for the

field 10 yards. On an exchange Of punts,
EckendOrf ran the ball back ~ yards and
10y series of line plunges. including a
