Calls Rail Back.
1t appears that the substitute
player. Buck" Wise. quietly went in
for Reds Hyland. the Business left
end, and Hyland walked on the grid
iron. Then came the forward pass,
Harris to Pedlow. but the officials
called the ball back. claiming that Hy-

as this gave Business twelve men on
the field the penalty followed.
Business players claim that had the
play been allowed. a touchdown would
have been scored, and as Tech had

Business forwards time and again for
substantial gains.
Has Good Defense.
While Business did not have the Of
fense. its defense was good on the part
OF the backs Capt. Harry Harris, play
ing a defensive end, put up one OF the
best games seen in local high school foot
ball for some time. The sturdy little
Orange and Blue leader was in every
play and was ably backed UP by Ray

Coach White has taught the Business
team several good trick plays. One
went wrong when the head linesman saw
a player laying on the ground. close TO
the side lines. waiting for q forward
pass, and another went amiss when
Hyland rau or the field. This was the
best play attempted en- the field.
Pedlow, the Business right end. faxed
an injury and limped towards the side
lines, but did not go or the field. Buck
Wise was called as n substitute, but took
Hylonds' place at left end. Pedlow, still
taking an injury, remained close to the
side lines and the Biacksm;ths thought
him out of the game, as Hyland went off
the field on the opposite side. Then Capt.
Harris uncorked a beautiful pass to Ped
low. who raced to within eight yards of
the Manual Trainers goal line before go
ing outside. Hyland. according to the
statement of Umpire Land. came on the
field while the play was in progress
roofing, and the ball was brought back.
Tech Looks Good.
1t was demonstrated yesterday that
the team which defeats Tech will just
about win the championship. Coach FL
lis has perfected a fast offense. and
with a little more defense, Will make
them all look out.
The Business team yesterday was about
the best which has represented the
Rhode Island Avenue institution for
some time Capt. Harris led team of
willing workers, boys who fought all the
time. and the defeat was not a disgrace.
"Genee" Ochsenrelter and Bullet"
Steed played good fothail on the offen-
sive for the Blacksmiths, while Boyrer
was a tower of strength both on the
offense and defense. ochsenreiter car

touchdown OF the game after being called
on repeatedly tn buck the Business line.
