The Central High school football team
easily defeated the heavy Admission Pres
byterian college eleven by the decisive
score Of IS to 6 yesterday.
Although Central was outweighed about
10 pounds to the man they clearly out
played and out-fought their opponents.
The visiting line could not check the on
rushing of Jackson the Central fullback.
Time after time he gained from to 10
yards. Dorskey, too. gained freely for
the Central warriors on numerous occa-
eions.
At the beginning and through the first
quarter the teams appeared to be evenly
matched, but in the second quarter things
began to take g. decided change, for in
this period Jaffe was substituted for
Banks at quarterback. Admission failed
to gain, the ball going to Central in
1nidfeld. Central uncorked a forward pass
for Is yards, Jackson to Hahn, who was
tackled in his tracks. Jackson gained eight
yards on an off-tackle play. Central
tried another forward pass. but Admission
intercepted it on the 45-yard line. Annis-
ton then attempted forward pass, which
j. Hall of Central High intercepted and
subsequently scored a touchdown. Jack
son failed to register the goal.
The second touchdown was scored by
Dorskey in the third quarter on an end
run of five yards from one side of the
field to the other. Central had worked
the ball to their 25-yard line and then at
tempted a forward pass, which was in
tercepted by Admission across CentraPs
goal line but the ball was returned to the
five-yard line by Admission. Admission then
kicked out of danger. but the punt was
blocked and recovered by Central on the
five-yard line. Dorslzey then made the
run as above for the second touchdown.
The kick out was fumbled by Central and
there was no chance for goal.
Hahn scored the third touchdown after
he had recovered d tumble on Annis-
toms 40-yard line. jackson kicked his
first goal.
The last touchdown was scored by Cap
tain Craig after he ran 80 yards on a
trick play. Jackson again kicked goal.
In the last few minutes of play Reaves
saved his team from a scoreless defeat by
blocking punt on Centrals 90-yard line,
which he easily converted into a touch
down. Admission missed goal.
The entire Central team played jam-up
ball, although jackson, Dorskey and
Craig might be mentioned as the chief
ground gamers. Reaves, "Hughes and III.
Anderson put up the best defense for the
visitors.
