TECH WINS SCORE 5 TO 2
By J. w. Heisman.

Unlike Fridays game. yester-
days little pleasantly between
Tech and Illinois seemed never
to be in doubt after the first inning,
for the Yellow Jackets took not the
bit between their teeth, but their
singers in hand and bored their way
through to a victory without a haggle
or bubble. Score: Tech, 5; Hi
nois, 2.
The visitors looked rather ragged.in
the field, making number of mis-
cues at critical times, while Tech put
up a superb fielding game at all
times.
The hits were also decidedly in
Techs favor, and they often came
when runners were on. This made
the locals look pretty good, as there
was little fault to be found with their
base running. Several of them died
in great agony at the relentless hand
of Catcher Bradley, who has one of
the best throwing arms ever seen in
college ranks; but for all that occa =
sionally a Techite would elude him
and his deadly arm.
Outside of Bradiey's fine catching
and pegging, the work of Tolmie at
second was inspiring. He put up a
corlling good game at the keystone
stop both days
n Westlund statred in to pitch for the
Illini, but gave way to Larson in the
fourth inning. Neither seemed to be
overly effective against the locals.
Eubanks Has Everything.

Eubanks, who was on the mound for
Tech the entire game. This is the
first time this year he has gone the
whole distance, and he certainly did
look good-away yonder better than
ever in the past. He had about every
thing ever heard of in the line Of
twIrling merchandise, and worked out
a beautifully self controlled game.
The Illinois team feared another left
handler would be showed in against
them to- day, but after 1t was over
they frankly admitted they would
have preferred any number more of
southpaws to what they did have to
face
At third base Hill atoned entirely
for his bad game Of the day before,
accepting a large number of chances
in sure and graceful style.
Edgar Montague also distinguished
himself in center by all-round good
fielding and hitting, and incidentally
pulled off the star play of the day by
coming in like the March wind on
very short fly and corralling 1t with
in an inch Of the ground by head
long dive which compelled him to roll
over and over. 1t was almost unbe-
lievable that he could have the ball
until he held it up to view.
In the hitting line, Burr got after
the horsehide the way he used to 10
a year ago when facing prep school
pitchers at Riverside He raped out
three screaming line drives out OF
four times up, and that when they
did good. His Mace was changed in
the batting order and he showed he
aiked the change. Wooten also
snatched off a couple of nice safe
ties, as did Edgar Montague.
Danger in Third Inning.
Outside Of the third inning, Tech
never appeared in danger. In that
inning Shafer, first up, put down a
fizzler to Eubanks, who made the only
Tech error of the game by throwing
wild to first, Shafer going to second
Tolmie was the next man up, and ne
put in claim for four damaged balls,
which the umpire allowed. Larson
here went to the plate in Westlunds
place and advanced both by a sacri-
nee bunt which Eubanks threw to
third, but Shafer was ruled safe, and
thus the bases were filled to the gun
wales, with nobody out. 1t looked as
though Tech sympathizers would soon
have need of nerve specialist. But
after walking right into oil these
troubles by "his own self" Eubanks
turned around and walked right out
again. He struck out Arbuckle, the
next man up, and then threw Suffers
grounder home for a force-out, which
was converted into a double when
Witherington whipped It down to
first in time to retire Suter
