Say and he will continue so for the re-

son and Gold by the scant three point mar.
ein. scholastic dopesters are giving the
fouthwark eleven the edge for the Gimbel
Trophy symbolic OF the city's football cham
pionship. When the downtowners defeated
Frankford High. so. after the latter had
beaten Central ST., II was generally be-

Central on Defense
However. there was no doubt about South
Phlladelphia's superiority over the Central
High eleven, last year winner of the Gimbel
Cup The champions were on the defensive
almost continually. With the exception of
Q spectacular 33-yard run made by poor
Alex Farmakis who should be under doc
tors care for n badly wrenched leg instead
OF playing football, there was no possible
chance Of Central scoring. Had FarmalSis
been In good shape he probably would have
gone over for touchdown, as Bunnin,
Southern's quarter. was the only man he
tween the Central captain and the goal line.
As Il was. Alex was handicapped in run
ming and this gave Bunnln a fine chance
TO bring down the runner.
Another possible feature that favored
Central was the long punting OF Supplee,
who was brought from the line to full
back. The Crimson and Colds only chance
10 keep the threatening Southwarkites from
touchdowning depended on Supplies shoe,
and time after time he booted the ball out
Of danger from near his teams goal line
South Philly had several opportunities to
get over for a e~pointer. but after Captain
Rosetsky. Hamilton, Park and Bunnin had

finally was given the ball on downs.
Rosetsky.swho Is a brother of the former

He weighs about 160 pounds. His line

gains Bunnip also is a consistent ground
gamer for South Philly. but the quarter

Northeast Wins
While Central was beaten. the game
proved that the champions have worthy

ing only 100 pounds
Northeast High School stands out as
South Philips most formidable opponent in
the Gmbel Cup running. The former also
came through with a league victory yester-
day afternoon by defeating Germantown
High School in a one-sided 1913 contest.
Kinseman and Jones. who replaced Knsman
and Hendren. made the Red and Black
