The Washington herald., 1912-10-27

the time, the Orange and Blue
eleven bids fair to make them all
hustle for top honors.
King Alone shines.
Central, on the other hand. did not look
SO good in the game with Eastern FRI
day. The Dark Blues backfield did not
show up very well, and but for King It
is questionable IL Central would have
won. King and Reeves played fair foot
ball. but the Central leader himself was
way of form. Either the Blue eleven
was stale or the soggy field was too big
a handicap
The Central forwards did not shine as
was expected. Jones and Oberlin should
. not have started the game, as both are
suffering with bad knees. while the Bow
man boys alone played good football
Carey and McDonough, on the ends. did
not get a chance to prove their real
worth 70 the team, for the simple reason
that they did not get into enough plays,
being told to play wide. In this way
the Eastern backs went inside Of the
ends and were boxed by the Central
tackles.
Had Wells sent Smith and Reilly
around the Central ends instead of shoot
ing them into the line, Eastern would
have scored on the Dark Blue and White.
That is certainty. for twice an end run
gained when line bucks failed.
Smith is Fnst-
Smith is one Of the fastest men in the
high schools. and why he was shot into
the line is mystery. A good end run
would have gained many times Friday,
and il is a sure bet that when the Cap
itol Hill aggregation meets Business on
Friday an end run will be in the game,
with Smith carrying the ball
There is no denying the fact that Cen
trail looked rather poor Friday. Not
since 1905. when Paul Taylor coached
the Central team. have the o Streeters
looked as bad as they did Friday. On
the form displayed in the games so far
this season the Streeters are an in
and-out eleven They played poorly
against Gallaudet. great against the
Props, and did not look very good
against Eastern.
a former star at Central. one who is
closely connected with the team at pres
ent, stated last night that by the end
of the week a different Central team
will be in the field. 1t is planned to start
the boys all over again. teaching them
to tackle, block. and handle the ball in
stead of forward passes and trick plays
What Central needs is some hard work
with the scrubs and less signal drill,
business VIII Work.
Business will get down to hard work
this week for the Eastern game on FRI
day. Eastern will go after the battle at
the start, and for Business to win will
mean that the Stenographers will have
TO hustle all the time. Coach McCaf-
frey, of Eastern, is confident of beating
"Cuppy" Farmers aggregation, and the
Light Blue and White eleven will start
after the game in earnest.
Tech is the unknown quantity. Just
what the Manual Trainers will do in the
nhr1n n-ss oavfa Sc tnrv aFtNs
have said that Tech will not cut a great
deal of ice in the series this year, bur
it is a safe bet that the Blacksmiths
will put eleven men on the field who will
play football all the time.
Western appears to be out of It. The
defeat at the hands of Business last
Tuesday took all the pep out of the
Red and White outfit. and It would not
be surprising 10 see the West Enders go
through the entire season without win |
ming game.
Tuesday Tech plays Western. and
while Tech has not been seen the game |
is conceded to the Manual Trainers The |
following Saturday Business meets East |
ern, and on form Business should be re-
turned the winner.
Tech-Centrnl November z.
Tuesday. November 5, Technical and
Central clash. Central should win this |
game. although the Blacksmiths may be |
hiding something and spring a surprise |
when It is least expected Friday, No
vember S. Western and Eastern meet. |
and If Western is to win a game 1t will
have to be this one.
Business and Central will fight il out |
November Is. This game is looked for
ward to as being the turning point in the
series. Business will have rested longer
than Central. and this may prove to be
q little advantage. Central will have
seven days rest after meeting Tech, and
some of the o Streeters might be broken
up in the Tech game.
Looking at every angle of the schol-
astic series, 1t is hard to see where Tech.
Business or Central have the call for
the title, while Eastern will make them
all hustle all the time. Western is a
hopeless fifth club.
