Technical High is almost certain to
win the high school foot ball Champion
ship. After the overwhelming victory OF
Yesterday over Western there is none
that would give Business more than an
outside chance to win from the Manual
Trainers in the only remaining contest
for the latter.
1t seemed pretty certain that Teen
would take the long end of the score OF
yesterdays contest, but that it would so
tiecisively defeat the Red and Wnlte,
was not expected. Western has geneT-
ally been able to put UP a close. hard
same against the best OF tn. scholastic
combinations. no matter if 1t We're out
weighed. but it failed to make much OF
al impression against the Manual Train
ers. Techs victory was so one-sided that
the Business eleven can hardly hope to
de more against ii tnan make d good
showing. The general work Of the
Manual Trainers was so far above that
OF the Red and White that there was
little or no comparison to be made
Tech had the more experienced players.
Il much heavier combination and 1t was
well drilled.
There appears to be nothing less in
store for Tech than another champion
ship. Central was the one team that had
d
Gray for the honorS, but it failed in that
nrst contest. AS was predicted before
the beginning of the series, the Cen
tral-Tech conflict was the really dec1-
sive one of the schedule.
While Wayne Hart had an experienced
and fairly heavy aggregation OF players
with which to start his season at Tech
turned out a well drilled and capable
combination. Hart has an eleven that
shows the benefit of good coaching. and
he is to be commended for his splendid
work in developing the boys to a point
where they are almost conceded the
right to the scholastic title.
Tech has proved itself better in nearly
every department than the other
elevens it has faced this season.
Eastern, Western and Central, which
nave met defeat at the hands of the
Manual Trainers. have been inferior to
the Manual Trainers in more than one
department. Central did better work
against them than did either of the
other two.
The Maryland Aggies won the state
championship yesterday by defeating
Washington College in the last game
they are to play in the series. The
Farmers have met one reverse only,
which was in the first contest of the
season, when they were in rather
crude state. The eleven, Western
Maryland, winch won from lne ASSleS,
is the weakest of the five in the series,
it having lost by decisive scores since
il defeated the Farmers to two of the
teams the latter have since beaten.
Righ now NJ. A. c. probably would win
from Western Maryland by thirty
points. Practically every foot ball
authority is conceding the Farmers the
strongest eleven i'll Maryland and the
state title.
Although the Farmers decisively out
played Washington College from every
angle. the manner in which they Won
was hair-raising. With only six sec
onds left to play, Time out was called
because of penalty being inflicted and
at the time the Farmers had the ball
