BUSINESS QUTPLAYS
CENTRAL HIGH, 14-6
Gives Evidence of Splendid
Fighting Qualities by Com
ing From Behind.
STENOGRAPHERS' VICTORY
DUE TO STRONG OFFENSIVE
Three Scholastic Contests and Two
College Games Are Being
Played Here Today.
BY Il. C. BYRD.

Business Highs foot ball team gave
evidence of some splendid fighting
qualities yesterday in defeating Cen
trail, II to 6, after the latter had
scored a touchdown in the first few
minutes of play. The majority of scho-
lastic elevens are beaten once touch
down is made against them, but not so
with Business. and it was not until aft
er that count was made by Central that
the stenographers really began to play
their best.
Business owes its victory to a splen-
did offensive style of play, which was
well executed by capable players. Gull
ligan's work at quarterback was the
best any player has done in that POI
sItion this season and he seems to be
standing out in comparison with the

tackle, on which the runner seldom
failed to gain the required distance.
Used with this off-tackle plunge was a
fake play on which the end took the
ball around the opposite end. This also
gained many times. The forward pass
was not forgotten either. and Coach
Whites charges made better use of the
overhead method of gaining ground
than any team has yet.
Central made its touchdown at the
start of the game, when punt was
fumbled by Business on its own le-yard
line. The Central eleven showed dash
enough then and there to drive the ball
across the goal line with ine-snashing
tactics.
Centrars eleven was much lighter
than that of Business, and no matter

These men stood out in their work, but
that is not saying the other members
of the elevens did not play up to their
usual standard. The work of all was
good.
Three scholastic contests are being
played here today. The st. Alban S
eleven is meeting the MarSton Cniver-
sity School of Baltimore, the George
town Props are playing against the
Eastern High eleven and the Technical
High and Army and Navy Prep teams
are booked. The first mentioned con-
bans the second at Georgetown and
the last at the Army and Navy Prep
Field.
The fact that Yale will not re!nstate
the athletes it barred from it's team
because they played summer ball, not
withstanding overtures from Princeton
and Harvard that they be allowed to
take part in sports. is very commend
able. to say the least Yale, while it
does not believe that the present rules
governing the situation quite express
the intent of the trainers of the code,
has decided to live strictly to it's letter.
Harvard and Princeton are to be con-
graduated and commended because of
the stand they took in the matter.
Here are four or five men at univer-
sity who constitute a formidable array
of talent which could be used against
Harvard and Princeton this fall and
next spring. Yet Princeton and Har-
ward. instead of desiring to keep them
out of the contests. asked that they be
reinstated. If that is not real sports
rnanship, what is?
