and alert. the football team OF the Manual
Training High School piled up a score OF
- 10 against the eleven Of Boys High
School yesterday on the field at Washing
ton Park. Brooklyn. The manner in which
the smoothly working Manual team ad-
vsnced the ball appeared as easy as roll
ing a baby carriage. True. there were
moments when the stalwart LANCE or the
husky Tiffany got IN the way Of Manuals
runners and bumped them up consider
ably But these occasions only tempo
rarily checked the victorious procession.
| What the score would have been had
Boys High been suddenly bereft OF IT'S
hig right tackle and doughty quarter
back is past comprehension for the willy
Zeitz, Goldberg. Hartman and Charles
often eluded the rest OF the Boys High
players. TO be downed by either LANCE or
/ Tiffany.
On the whole IL was q splendid triumph
for the Manual team. which rounds out
liz season on the gridiron with clean
record for the interscholastic champion
ship title having defeated its strongest
! contenders. Commerce and De witt elm
| ton. this season Only once. and that az
the beginning OF the year have the colors
OF Manual been lowered. and that TO the
East Orange High School
From the beginning Manual played sue
| cessfully an open game No less than
/ twelve times did Manual pin its faith
upon the forward pass. and only once did
the play work to the desired end. That
was In the closing minutes of the first
half. when Zeitz sent the ball floating
over to Dingwall, who carried the leather
ten yards for a touchdown. -Four times
the spirals were intercepted, but fumbllng
and misplays at such times failed TO af-
ford Boys High any advantage.
Throughout the first half Boys High
attempted line bucking and the c!rcling
Of the ends. AT this they were always
thrown back for losses by Manual in a
most disheartening manner. II was not
until the third quarter that Boys High
attempted its first forward pass. and this
proved a failure. Starting with the ball
in their possession IN the final quarter.
Webb, the left tackle, worked the first
pass successfully for Boys High. II was
the first time in the game that the Red
and Black had advanced the ball FOR its
first down. Rapaport completed the first
throw, and then Webb tried again. this
time using Marshall, who carried the ball
within seven inches OF Manuals line.
Then the Blue held stubbornly when.
helped out by a penalty, Boys High
pushed McCabe over the line for the
touchdown--the only score that the Black
and Red tailed during the contest. out
Of the nine times that Boys High used
the forward pass. four were successfully
negotiated, but the team started It's open
play too late 10 bring them a Victory.
The field was in excellent condition for
the game. The stands were filed with
six thousand enthusiastic supporters Of
the respective teams. Boys High won
the toss. and Parasette kicked of, with
the wind from the east at his back. Tiff
fanny ran the ball back ten yards. and
then Marshall and Holman began TO buck
the line. but with no gains Webb then
was compelled TO punt, and he was kept
at il straight through the game whenever
his side had the ball, for, outside OF the
forward passes in the last quarter. IL was
the only means OF sending the ball be-
yond the danger zone. Once. with the
ball in its possession. Manual sent Har-
man and Charles. the halfbacks. into out
side tackle plays Boys High tackled
desperately, and Just before Conroy
scored the first touchdown Zeitz was
stripped naked Of his jersey as LANCE
grabbed him. Several times during the
match Manuals players were Invested OF
their garments because OF the fierce
tackling OF Boys High. This happened
so often that toward the close OF the
game a Disguised Boys High rooter sar-
casticalIy remarked: We'll. IL we can't
beat them we can undress them any
way" Within a minute Of the close Of
the first quarter Parasitic from the g.
ward line kicked a field goal In pretty
fashion, and II was the only one OF the
match. although Parasette and Webb
made other attempts.
Through the second and third quarters
Manual proved so superior 10 its oppo-
nents that il seemed only question az 10
how long the others could keep up with
the fast moving attack. Zeitz and Ding
