twenty points yesterday after a hard
battle, went through the series with

221 points, q record in point scoring
for the series which has been played
for the past eighteen years with the
Ave high schools participating.
Game No Exception.
1t is traditional that Central and
Western always furnish a stirring
football battle. and yetserday's game
was no exception. Central was con
ceded the victory by practically
every follower OF football in the city.
That Western would be able to hold
Central to 40 points was the expecta-
tion.
The wearers OF the Dark Blue met
with sturdy opposition. In the first
half Central scored but one touch
down. Westerns defense was excep-
tionally good. but the cIeverly
masked line plays were too much for
the green Western forwards, and to-
ward the end of first quarter Long
went over for a touchdown, falling to
kick goal.
The battle was evenly contested
during the frst half, although Cen.
trail showed more power on both Of
fenss and defense, and while ther.
was a deal OF fumblinE by the Cen
trail backs they began clicking of
substantial gains.
Marched UD Field.
Csntral's second touchdown came
after a march up the field of forty
yards and was aided by a questionable
penalty, On a shift play the Central
forwards failed to reach the line OF
scrimmage when the ball was started
and Western lineman charging
through with the ball was penalIzed.
Long then went over for a touch
down.
Earlier in the quarter Central was
held for downs on Westerns 4
yard line and after several failing at
tempts at rushing, Groves, OF west
ern, got on a seventy-yard punt.
CentraFs last touchdown was scored
a second or two after the fourth quar-
ter started, when Sam Solomon out
guessed Simpson and caught u for
ward pass OF twenty-five yards and
raced for touchdown over Ave white
lines.
Just Missed Score.
Central narrowly missed scoring
again in the final minute OF play
when Gerry dropped one behind the
goal line after Belknap had heaved
twenty-five yards. The game ended
with the ball on Westerns 90
yard line.
The Central line from end TO end
played exceptionally well and more
than met the best Offense they have
been called upon to face this season.
Ions, Belknap, Wilson, and STAINS
hsld gained consistently when called
upon.
Westerns eleven showed the ef-
fects Of the onslaughts OF its older
opponents in the second half, but
stuck gamely to the task, forcing
Central to go the limit throughout.
Fenwick, Hume, Groves, Wight. and
simpson played themselves out dur
ing the game for Western.
