Fritz Reuter-, the speedy half back of
the Central High School eleven, again
made history in local fcotballdom when
he captured a short punt on the S5-yard
line and ran the ball back 10 yards. evad-
ing four Tech tacklers and putting the o
Streeters within striking. distance of the
goal line. They had up to that time been
unable to cross. On the next play Fritz
carried the ball 10 yards nearer the COW
eted line by a great run around right
end, and George Hamilton, the Central
captain, took It over for the touchdown
that defeated the Manual Trainers on
Georgetown Field yesterday. The other
points were made in the final period.
Score, IL to o.
While the game had no bearing on the
possession OF the Princeton Cup. the
winner is conceded the championship of
the 1911 season, and the best team won.
That is the opinion of many experts
who were on the side lines yesterday.
AS previously stated, the proceeds will go
to the Playground Association.
Central outplayed the Technical team
at every stage, and while the Black
smiths fought hard, the Blue and White
aggregation was better drilled, knew
more football, and played with more dash
and spirit.
The Manual Trainers were heartbroken
after Hamilton made the touchdown in
the third period, and from then on tried
desperately to tie the score. In the final
quarter, on their own 2o-yard line, the
Manual Trainers attempted a forward
pass, but Fritz Reuter- was the boy on
the Job, and clasping the pigskin to his
blue Jersey, Travelled over four white lines
for the second and last touchdown Of
the game, as the final score was u to 0,
'Murph" King kicking two goals.
Reuter- in Form.
Fritz Reuter- played his first game of
the season in true Reuter- style, the
dashing half back hitting the line and
circling the ends time and gain for good
gains. 1t was the work Of this speeder
more than any one else that gave the
Blue and White aggregation a victory
over the Manual Trainers IN the game
that made them the real title holders
for the present year.
Little McDonough, next to the nghtest
man in the high school series, put up
sterling game at right end, getting the
famous Country" Morris time and again
on attempted end runs. Country did
not play the game expected, as he was
all in before the contest was five
minutes old Central played Morris, and
playtd him right, as it was seldom the
wonder got away for any distance. Morris
was forced to leave the game twice on
account of injuries, and it was due to
his inability to stop Reuter- on the end
run that put the o Streeter on the 10
yard line that cost Technical the battle.
Country was out when Reuter- passed
him Morris put up a good game on the
defense but the great end runs and re-
turning Of punts was lacking from the
work of the crack of the season.
Country lacked the dash and vim
that has made him one Of the most
talked Of players in the surrounding
country, and it was a surprise to the
faithful to see him fail to gain through
the Central line and around the ends.
Techs fake kick formation, the play
that Morris has used to good advantage
all season, failed to work against the
o Streeters, and Country" wac stopped
with but short gain to his credit.
Hamilton Plays Good Game.
Hamilton and Van Dyne pIowed
through the Tech line for good gains, the
Central leader tearing OF several dashes
of 10 yards or more, while 'Murph"
King, the great tackle, was a demon on
the defense. Time and again King broke
through and nailed the man with the ball
before he had started, and on getting
down the field on punts King easily out
distanced the rest OF the team.
The BIacksmiths played a kicking
game. opening up only in the final period,
when sure defeat stared them in the
face. Morris did not punt the way he did
In the other games, a. Hamilton out
puntsd him IN almost every exchange OF
boots. Schoenfeld and Van Dyne ran the
kicks hack in good shape, while $40
Donough and King, not counting Stokes
and oberlin. were down the field like a
shot, getting the man taking care OF the
punt before he had got started time and
again.
Centrars entire team fought all the
way. never letting up and fighting all
the time. showing that they are about 50
per cent stronger than at any time this
season. The ADVANTAGE Of the coaching
the Central team has had was marked,
the o streeters displaying more pep"
and dash than ever before Jim Sprig-

boys making them An abrsgation thss
