GEORGETOWN DOES FINE WORK
IN GAME WITH FORDI1AM TEAM

Fails Against Technical High.

that has watched gridiron battle here
| since the last between Georgetown and
Virginia will be present.
The showing of the Western High
team in its game with Tech was some
/ thing of disappointment. The sup
porters of the Red and White figured
they had a splendid chance to win the
championship, and did not hesitate to
say SO. Techs decisive victory-and it
played without it's captain during a
greater part of the contest-was due to
the superiority of the play of its line
work in every particular, but the charg-
ing and blocking of the forwards were
the greatest factors in its success.
Western relied upon the punting of
ing that. Wayne Hart and Country Nor
ris, coaching the Manual Trainers,
schemed to hurry up and make ineffec-
tive these long punts. They succeeded
to the extent that Peck was seldom
given much time to get away his boots,
and several times the ball was blocked
and given to Tech in positions from
which 1t scored.
Ochsenreiter. captain of the Technical
eleven, was taken from the game early
with wrenched knee. His absence did
not seem to affect the play of the other
members of the eleven, nor of the squad
as a whole. And as a matter of fact,
the Tech men seemed to play harder
after Ochsenreiter was out than they
did before: at any rate. the Tech team
did not seem less efficient because Of
the absence of it's capable captain.
