and 1t was anybody's game from the

Mainly through the splendid work OF
Captain Dinsmore. the Germantown boys

scored one touchdown. There were sew
eral opportunities offered the suburpan-
Ites in the third and fourth quarter, but
they lacked the final punch to put over
another touchdown.
Episcopal Well Coached
Th Episcopal team is one of the best
coached school elevens in the city. Their
interference OH end runs compares with
college elevens and the line plays low
and knows how to shift to meet an op-
posing shift formation.
Episcopal was weak i'm one depart
ment. The defense against the forward
pass was very insecure. In the third
and fourth periods McCarthy's boys
were in hot water continually because
Germantown knew how and did work
the forward pass. The Episcopal sec
ondary defensive men were fooled into
being drawn in on the aerial plays.
Penn Charter advanced a notch to-
ward the Interacademic title by elm
mating Friends Central by the top
heavy figures of $40. The William

sweeping and steady. The struggle

when the Crimson and Gold athletes
praceled out the worst defeat in a long
stretch of years to the Germantown
High eleven on Houston Filed yesterday
afternoon. The one.sided figures, which
set up record. were 64.0.
The -Cnly team that now stands be-
tween the O'Brien boys and the cham.
pionship is West Philadelphia, and by
comparative scores Central High Is the
stronger team by far. The Central lads
have played only two games. 9TH have
been victories and that Is enough to con-
vince the followers of scholastic sports
that the Crimson and Gold has virtually
clinched the title.
The first Central victory was over
Southern, 1915. West Philly defeated
Germantown 10 and also beat South
Philly 20. The fact that Central over.
whelmed both Germantown and hhe
downtowners makes it plain, as far as
comparative scores go, that Coach
O'Brien's boys will be the ultimate win
ners.
Frankford Easy
Central must also play. Frankford, but
Southern disposed of the uptown eleven
$40 yesterday and the Crimson and

SOCCER TEAMS in
CHARITY MATCH
Merchants "A". Tackles
All-Star Team From Vari-
GUS Shipyards

Followcrs of the kicking style of fot-
bal: will witness today one of the best
soccer contests ever staged in this
city, the game was originally scheduled
to be between a picked team from the
Delaware River Shipyard League versus
the Bethlehem Steel soccer eleven, for
the benefit of the war fund drive.
AS Philadelphia was not permitted to
take an active part in this drive, and
arrangements for this contest had al
ready gotten under way, it was de-
cided to stage a game for the purpose
of raising funds for the tobacco and
smoke fund and the British patriotic
war fund.
The committee, having the same in
charge, picked a team from the seven
shipyards in and arouRd Philadelphia
to play the Merchants Ship team a."
composed of some of the best soccer
players that ever dribbled the ball,
the picked team has enough class and
speed to the forward line to keep the
Merchants defense busy every minute
after the ball is once put in motion.
The Eastern District Football Asso-
citation has cancelled all other games
in the various leagues and a snug sun
should be realized for these two worthy
war funds.
