WESTERN LOSES;
tech HIGH, I2-7
Blacksmiths 0utplay Red and
White Outfit in Crucial
Game.
BY "BUCKo HOWARD,
Caniain Western's lel2 Tam.

Fighting to the last ditch, but against
overwhelming odds. Westerns gritty lit
tie football club was forced to accept de-
feat yesterday in the crucial game in
the season, Techs big club being re-
turned the winners. Il to I.
Western put up a game fight. The
boys never quit, but were unable TO
Withstand the terrific smashing of the
Tech forwards. who ploughed through
the Red and White line time and again
for long gains, opening big holes for
the backs.
"Untz" Brewer, who punted 50 well,
and played such a great game against
Eastern. failed to show up as we'll as was
expected. owing to injuries. Brewer was
in bad shape. and should really never
have started the game. Ochsenreiter out
punted Brewer. and also made several
long gains through the Red and White
line. Brewer made three good gains,
circling the ends twice, and hitting off
tackle once. Outside of this, Brewer
failed to play his usual game.
Tech Plays Well.
The Manual Trainers got the jump on
the West Enders. and during the whole
first period played the ball inside of their
toss and chose to receive the kick. After
failing to gain, Brewer punted to mid
field, and on two long gains by Ochen-
reiter the ball was placed on Westerns
5-yard line. At this point the Red and
White forwards showed class and held
the Blacksmiths for downs. Western was
unable to punt out Of danger. and Tech
remained in their territory until the end
of the first half. During the entire first
half, with the Manual Trainers leading
them a dogs life, the West Siders fought
nobly and offset the weight Of their op-
pOnents by fast-charging defense, which
kept Tech from scoring when a touch
down was apparently sure.
Tech started the scoring in the third
quarter after Steed ran back one of Pep
per's punts for gain OF 20 yards.
Ochsenreiter was called upon to carry the
ball and ran the pigskin over the line for
a touchdown by a 25-yard run. Ochsen-
reiter failed to kick an easy goal. Techs
second score came also in this period,
when Western pulled some of this bone
stuff' in attempting a forward pass in
side of their own 0-yard line, and Ochsen-
reiter again showed his prowess on the
gridiron and intercepted the pass and
carried it over the line for the Manual
Trainers second count
Westerns touchdown came in the final
chapter. Nicolson blocked one of
punts, and also recovered
the oval on Techs 10-yard line. With
only a few minutes to play. Western un-
corked a forward pass, Roger to O'Rrien,.
which resulted in a touchdown. Royer
kicked goal
Ochsenreiter n Star.
Gene Cchsenreiter and Bullet" Steed
we're the individual stars of yesterdays |
fray. Ochsenreiter, who was carried upon
most of the time to carry the ball,
gained on every attempt, and aside from
his was a tower of strength on the de- |
'ense Steed. on the other hand, ran
pack punts better than any other man
70 far this season, and ran his team well.
Ising rare Judgment at al ltimes. The |
work of these two men makes strong |
