They call the species OF pastime pre-
scnted by the rival coaches, Hart and
White, yesterday open football" The
attack of each team was about as open
to each other as the United States
Treasury is to tramp or as open as the
Whit. House is to Mr.. TrotteT.
1t was a great game TO watch in the
earlier stages because Of the variety OF
play presented by both contenders, but
it was a greater game to watch in the
final period. when Business was leading
by a 7-to-6 score and Tech fighting to the
last ditch to avert a defeat.
Capt Gibson, OF Tech. won the toss
and chose the west goal. Business kicked
poorly. and Rooney grabbed the ball in
midfield The Manual Trainers swept
down the field in this period in way
that led one to look for a decisive vic
tory. Supplee, the giant linesman Of the
champion eleven planted the ball on the
opponents 10-yard line in but two rushes.
Mccarthy. Ochsenreiter and Parker bat
tered their way through the left side OF
the Business line for a touchdown, Par
ker be Eg the man to make the count.
Supplce failed to kick the resultant
goal.
However, the early turn OF fortune on
the part of the Manual Trainers did not
discourage the Stenographers, who
fought correspondingly harder. In yes
terday's contest Business showed the
fastest and best-drilled eleven in its his
tory. and a victory over Tech was quite
within reason until the final whistle
blew. After the Tech touchdown, Busl-
ness chose to receive. Supplee booted to
Raw Wise who ran the ball back to mid
field. At this point the Business eleven
seemed to work as one man and showed
surprising strength. -Four first downs
followed by the Business eleven planting
the ball a short distance from its Oppo-
nents' goal line. Unfortunate for the
well-deserving Business lads. a tumble
occurred at this juncture. which caused
them to lose possession Of the bali.
Ochsenreiter punted well out Of danger
by sending the ball s. yards down the
field.
The half closed with Tech in the lead
as the result of its first touchdown. After
an exchange of punts in the third period
Business got possession of the ball in
midfield. After some futile plunginS
around the center of the field without any
great advantage. Culligan opened up with
a series OF forward passes which netted
% yards, and the third period closed with
Business on Techs 1O-yard line. few
minutes after the fourth period started
Ray Wise had crossed the goal line and
gave his team the advantage by kicking
the resultant goal.
With less than ten minutes to play a
Business victory was seriously consider
ed. but some real football was yet to be
seen. As was mentioned in the foregoing
Tech got the ball in midtield after holding
Business for downs and proceeded to
march down the field, eXerting every ef-
fort. Gene Ochsenreiter showed to be
the most capable back OF the series and
pounded his way through the Business
line for a touchdown after six consecutive
rushes. 1t is doubtful il there is ono
other man in the scholastic ranks that
could come to the rescue of his team as
did Ochse nreiter yesterday. He was
called upon 10 send his team home vic
torious and responded nobly and all who
witnessed the fray are willing to coneede
Ochsenreiter as the most finished player
seen i'm the schools for many a day. Sup
pIee followed this touchdown by kick
ing goal Lineup and summary:
