The victory secured by Tech over
Eastern yesterday gives 1t clean
record of wins over the other schools
with the exception of Western. which
has accomplished the same thing. The
championship will be decided next
Tuesday. when Tech and Western
meet
Just as was predicted after Central
was defeated by Western. the cham
pionship depends on the result of the
meeting Of Tech and Western. Last
year these two teams fought 1t out
in the last contest for the champion
ship. and history has repeated itself
as far as that part of it is concerned.
Last spring Tech won; whether or not
it will this season remains to be seen.
There seems to be very little differ
ence in the play put up by the two
teams SO far this season. Sometimes
one team has made a better showing
against another and vice versa. There
does not appear to be any appreciable
difference between the two mines. and
they should enter the contest on pretty
even terms.
The scores made in the high school
series by the two teams against the
others are as follows: Western. 8; Cen
trail. 2; Tech. Il; Central. ID; Western. 5;
Business. 3: Tech. 10; Business, 1; West
ern. 10; Eastern, 3: Tech, 3: Eastern. O.
These scores do not show much of any
difference between the two mines. The
last two contests played by Tech have
shown its defense to be consid erably more
developed than it was in the first. and
the majority Of scores would lead one to
believe that Tech has a little stronger
offensive aggregate than Western, but
when the two meet there Is not apt to be
much difference in the comparison.
1t Is hard to tell what kind OF game
nd y,lo
The contest may develop into one where
one run will be the deciding factor, or 1t
may be that both mines will score runs
almost at will, as was the case last spring.
