Tomorrow's Central-Business battle
scheduled for Vigilants Park, marks
the halfway post in the 1914 champion
ship series. 1t will mean that Business
is either TO be considered Techs most
serious contender for the title, or, in
event of a Central victory, that Tech
is assured of the premier honor with
the games half played.
Two years ago Business started off
with a win in the opening game, over
Western. 1t was the first time that
Business eleven had ever beaten the
Red and White. This year another
win was gained over Western, but a far
superior team this season took the
measure of the Westerners. At that
time Business was in no way consid
cred a title contender.
This year the Stenographers, under
Paul White, have come forward with a
rush. No team has been able to defeat
Business or cross the goal line for
touchdown, while a total OF - points
has been scored by the ability or the
Wise boys. Culligan and Keech. None
of ths other schools can boast OF the
record maintained by Business. ard
there is 70 diSCount!ng the fac; that
Coach White and his followers have q
iook-in and a good one for the honor.
Central spirit Will be manifest in to-
morrows battle. The team is going in
the series without the services OF two
of its strongest players, Buck" Och
stadt and Bill" Bailey, and, knowing
this, is likely 10 put up a more strenu-
Gus defense. Central will not be beaten
until the final whistle is blown.
knowing CentraIs weakness in for
ward passes it is likely that Business
win put this play into more use than
II has in the other battles this season.
The Orange and Blue has worked hard
and faithfully. and. with glimpse Of
the championship gained by consistent
performances will try and reward its
followers with a win.
Never has Business won a football
title. Baseball and basketball honors
have come 10 the Stenographers through
the efforts of exceptionally well-trained
teams. With one game in the players
are going after everything in the foot
ball line this year and can be expected
TO deliver If there is a chance of gain
Big the margin in tomorrow's battle.
Ike" Mcdonald, CentraTs other back,
IS reported to be near the deadline in
his work at the o street school. Re
lineup when Central faces the Stenog
raphers. With OchStadt and Macdonald
gone Centrars problem will be harder
than ever. Reports go out today at
the various schools, when it will be
learned just who is who in the scholar
ship standing league.
There is little doubt but that Western |
will be strengthened in the line with |
thc acquisition OF Tom Hume. Charles |
Matthews, and Edwin Giblin. With |
these veterans in the lineup, the show
rn% of the team to date in the high |
sCtool series might have been different. !
When it is taken into account that
dutch" Peck. Tom Peyton, and "Shep"
Rohrcr. three backfeld men, will also
- available beginning today. Westerns g 4,
chances for better showing are con- |
-iGably brighter than at any other time |
this season.
Leo Lanahan is slated to appear with !
the Eastern teams as is Herbert Fes-
.enden. II reports are true Eastern will |
nn bolstered by quite a few veterans for |
rs battles with Central and Business.
40 gamer set of players ever battled |
han those Of Eastern this season and |
he Capitol Hill school is bound to be |
proud Of the efforts Of Dyer, Baldwin, |
'larke, and such youngsters as |
"cbSCNer, NTaNeS. and McElhannon.
The Tech ends and backs can catch |
'h" forward pass to perfection, and |
there is little wonder when it is con- I
sidered that Roberts and Mccarthy are |
basketball players of no mean ability.
They are also outfelders on the base
bali team. and the judgment shown in
negotiating the passes is easily seen.
Edward TAYLOR. of Tech. has develop
cd into ono Of the best line plungers in
the schools. keeCh. OF Business, is
another youngster who will gain many
= yard through the line before the sea-
son is over.
80 one is labOrinE under the deiusion
that Business will develop into a bloom
er. From the brand OF football dis !
played in the first contest, Business is
sure to show development. In addition
