When Dick" Rush, Centrars crack
Quarter back kicked a goal from place
ment in the final period, Central de-
| feated Eastern for their frst win Of
the season yesterday at Vigilant Park,
3 TO 0, and by doing so upset all the
dope placed upon Centrals last ap-
pearance of the season.
The work of Rush: Centrafs plucky
little field general, was big factor in
the o Streeters victory. Aside from
his boot which won the fray for his
team, he ran his team well at all times
and displayed the prettiest exhibition
of broken field running seen in the
scholastic ranks during the present
series.
Central Outplays Eastern.
Although neither team could gain
with any degree of frequency. the Gen.
trail eleven had the edge on the boys
from Capitol Hill. in that 1t possessed
lot Of fight and showed more punch
in the line, both on the offense and
defense.
During most of the first half. the
battle was featured with the exchange
of punts, Rush and Williams booting
the pigskin for an average of 25 yards.
The Eastern backs were generally
downed in their tracks, owing to the
fine work OF Macdonald on right end
for the Centralites. while Rush. who
ran back the majority of kicks for the
o Streeters. had little trouble in ad-
vancing for gains ranging from Is to
80 yards.
Central threatened to score in the frs:
period after holding Eastern for down:
Rush ran back one of Williams punts
for a gain of 20 yards. and put the oval
on Eastern's 25-yard line. At this point
the o Streeters failed to gain, and Mac
donald attempted field goal. Lanahan.
in left guard for the Capitol Killers,
blocked the kick and thereby ruined the
Blues chances.
Central IItcks to Eastern.
The second half opened with Central
kicking to Eastern. and during the great
er part Of the time the team from Capt.
tOl Hill played in Central territory. but
the o Streeters' fast charging line avert
ed all chances for a score whenever its
goal was in danger. showing that Cen
trail is just beginning 10 play real foot
ball, now that its season is over.
After the last period was well under
way the Central team recovered a fum-
Bile on Eastern's E-yard line, but was
able to advance the oval very little. and
this being the case, Rush was called
sponded nobly with a perfect boot through
the urrights and won the matinee for the
Centralites.
Central then kicked to Eastern, who
showed its best offense of the day. and
were gaining quite bit, but with the
ball in their possession in midheId the
game was called.
Greer Stars Again.
Greer played his usual classy game in
center for Eastern, being practically IN
every play, and recovered several fum-
b.es which helped his team considerably.
Greer is without a doubt head and shoul-
ders above all the other passers back i'm
the series, and his work has been one Of
the features OF the season.
Dyer was seen on end for Eastern in
yesterdays game, and looked coed from
every standpoint. On many occasions he
threw the Genital backs for losses. II
he had been playing on the left flank for
Eastern all season he would have been
a strong contender for a position on the
all-star eleven. Lineup and summary:
