tacular and closely contested battle on

test was voted the best played OF any
OF the title football games this season.
and virtually put Business out Of the
running for the Princeton Cup and a
tie with Tech for the championship.
The Westerners sprang a genuine sur
throughout the game. Both on offcnse
and defense Western met Business with
a fighting team. The Stenographers
were outplayed during the contest. and
found Westerns line and ends yielding
little or no ground.
Near the close Of the first half West
ern forwards hurried Buck Wise 20 that
he fumbled a pass In attempting to
punt. With the ball on the lS-yard line
Western rushed for first down. and

back. from where Peck hurled for
ward pass to j; O'Brien for a touch
down. Peck failed an easy goal. The
half ended with Business uncorking a
series OF accurately placed and timed
forward passes.

and long forward passes putting the
Western secondary defense completely
at sea. scoring brilliant touchdown

ward pass of twenty yards. Business
worked its triple pass. which ended In
forward pass. and scored its touch
down In three minutes OF play. Culli-
gan missed an easy goal.

gan were the best players for Business
J. O'Brien. Welchel, Peck. Grayson. and
Msckall played consistently well for
Western. The Business plays were un-
able to successfully gain for Business,
while Western found the Business ends
fairly easy to gain ground on. Near the
close OF the second half Western went
up the field sixty yards on end rushes,
but was halted on the brink OF the goal
Two drop-kicks were missed by Welchcl
and Fisher. the last coming almost as
the whistle blew.
