SCHOLASTIC GOSSIP
BY .puck, HOWARD.

l.
Although Technical defeated Western
In the crucial game Of the scholastic
series last Friday. the title Is not con-
ceded to the Manual Trainers at this
stage of the game. owing to the fact
that they have yet to beat Eastern, and
many followers OF scholastic football are
lead to believe that the fast little team
from Capitol Hin win land a win over
the Blaeksmiths in the final engagement
| of the season.
The scholastic card for the present
week is the Eastern-Central game on
Tuesday and the western-Business con-
test FRIDAY and both the East and West
teams are expected to score a victory
over their opponents. With this occurring
\ the Tech-Eastern game on the follow
ing Tuesday will have the direct bearing
on the title. II Tech. defeats Eastern
the Manual Trainers will land the ha1
with four wins out OF the same number
of games played, but in the event that
the Eastern team registered a victory
over the heavy Tech pigsSin chasers, a
ptripie tie will result between Tech.
Eastern and Western. 1t can be plainly
seen that the series is not over as far as
the championship is concerned. and
much depends on the remaining games as
to just who will receive the cup. X
The Tech-western game last Friday
was practically decided In favor Of the
Manual Trainers when the Red and
White team attempted a forward pass
within their own 2O-yard line. This was
In itself very bad football, and it won
for Tech when Gene ochsenreiter
grabbed the pass and ran for a touch
down. 1t seems pity that the Western
team was compelled TO suffer defeat for
this reason after holding their opponents
on their own 10-yard line on two dif-
ferent occasions II little Judgment had
been used on the part OF Westerns field
general the game would probably have
resulted in a win for the West Enders by
a score of to g.
Capt Mac Brady, Of western. played
the best game Of his high school career
against Tech last Friday. Mac was on
the job from start to finish and stopped
the powerful line plunges or the Tech
back field on many occasions, and by do
ing so proved the bracing element of the
Western defense

eeived in the opening game with Tech.
but is now apparently well and reported
to Coach White last week to resume
work.
Walter Doxon has played remarkable
football in full back for Western IN the
present series and has shown to be game
70 the core, with the word fight in his
eyes at all times. He has displayed some
wonderful line plunging ability, and aside
from that. his defensive work has been
OF the highest caliber in every game.
With this years experience to his credit.
Doxon promises to be a star of the FIRST
water next season for the West Enders.
Little headwork has been shown by any
OF the held generals 50 far this season
and because OF the fact that the quarter
back Is the coach on the field. this quail
hcation Is more than necessary. Conse-
quently, some bad football has been dis
played. and when II comes to the pick

Frank Greer is the best passer-back
seen in the scholastic ranks in many a
day. and without this lad the Eastern
team would lack great deal OF its de-
fensive strength Greer has been the
backbone Of the Baby Blue and White
line In every game. and also appears to

"Untz" Brewer, the Western peach"

game and was not able to do himself

much harder game. Brewer is expected
