The Washington herald., 1912-11-20

losing the ball, with Jour yards 10
go, Capt. Eckendorf signaled Mr..
Ochsenreiter to drop back, and try
a Brickley stunt.
Ball Goes Over.
With the Eastern line charging through
and Smith and Fisher edashing at him.
Ochsenreiter calmly grabbed a poor pass,
dropped the ball, and gently booted it
over the bar, thereby scoring the only
points OF the game.
Aside from that drop-kick, Mr.. Ochsen-
reiter managed to smash through the
Eastern line for fairly long gains, and
also to circle the ends. He was the man
who did the punting for Tech. and while
he did not outkick Cohill. he held his
own.
When the Blacksmiths were bewailng
the loss Of several stars. after the ad-
visory marks We're published. little was
said regarding the addition Of Ochsen-
reiter to the squad. but when the Manual
Trainers clashed with Central Mr.. Och
senreiter was on the field and played
by far the best game for the Tech
eleven.
This is Ochsenreiter's first year with
the high school team, and as he has
shown that he is capable of playing good
football. some fancy work is looked for
from Genie
Eastern fought hard. fought all the way,
but that one drOp-kiCk won the battle
for the Manual Trainers. The Light Blue
and Whites defense was good, but Smith
and COhill, the Eastern's speeders, could
not get started.
Time and again Wells would send a
back at the Tech line. only 20 have him
stopped at the line of scrimmage. The
Tech line held we'll and opened many
holes for the Manual Trainers back field.
Fisher a Wonder.
One Of the bright features of the
game was the sensational tackling OF
Country Fisher, who held down right
end for the Light Blue and White
ever seen in scholastic battle, and
that Tech did not score a touchdown is
due TO the heady work Of Country
more than anything else, for Country
missed but one tackle during the en-
tire game. On the defense Fisher
played a half back. with Hawley Smith
on the end As many OF Techs for
nations were for end runs Fisher had
plenty of work, and he took care Of II
all in great shape.
Eastern made a game stand in the
second quarter on its own s-yard line,
when, after throwing the Manual Train
ers back a couple OF yards, Fisher re-
covered a tumble Of the third down,
and then Cohill punted out OF danger.
Capt. Cohin and Hawley Smith failed
to gain a great deal OF ground. The
Eastern line did not stop the Tech
forwards with the result that Cohill
and Smith were dropped before they
had gotten under way.
One Chance to Score.
Eastern had only one real chance 70
score. and that would have made run
of about so yards necessary. II was
in the third period that Eastern had
its chance, but Wells was slow in start
ing and only made about % yards.
Ochsenreiter had punted to Wells on
Eastern's 45-ward line, and Wells had
a clear field to the Tech goal He
caught the ball. but started late and
as a result Eckendorf and Ochsenreiter
were on him at the side lines.
Capt. Cohill made a game try to even
the score in the final period with a goal
from the field, but the wind carried the
ball fully 10 yards wide. With the ball
on Techs 30-yard line. Cohill dropped
back and booted the bail. with the en-
tire Tech team coming through. That
he managed to get the ball off at all
is a wonder.
This gives the Manual Trainers a
good grip on second place, as the Ste
nographers will hardly be able TO stop
them next Tuesday.
