Play All Around High School

Game

Superior team work and better
shooting on the part of the Har-
risburg Academy team defeated Cen
trail last night AZ to 80. Central was
outscored and outplayed in every
department. The Academy scored
12 goals from the field, while Cen
tral was only able to collect Z.
Goodiel was the only Central play
er to show any form at all. Frank
and Fields played a good game but
each of these boys lacked their usual
form.
The game ran nip and tuck dur
ing the first half and this period
ended 1914 with the Academy
leading. During the second half the
Blue and Gold upheld lead of three
or four points for quite some time
when they added few fouls Just be-
fore the whistle blew. Central was
game and kept things interesting but
could not overcome the lead.
The scoring began when Weigle
dropped the first foul through the
net for the Academy and repeated
this feat Il moment later. Frank
and Weigle then each scored foul
for their teammates. Frank then
Chalked up five points for Central
when he made two gals from the
field and shot another foul. After
two minutes of time out Weigle
made the first field goal of the
Academy and then took turns with
Frank shooting fouls, Frank making
and Weigle 3. From then until
the end of the half the Academy
suddenly took on speed and netted
eight points to CentraPs one, Weigle
and DeVore making some pretty
field goals.
Second Half
The second half was all Academy.
They scored twice as many goals
from the field as Central and showed
a lot more pep. Central had
chance to carry home the bacon
during this stage of the game, but
they lacked the necessary punch.
About the middle of the second half
Fields started his brilliant offensive
playing but could only cage one two
pointer. Fields was off color in his
shooting and should have had seven
more field goals. Wren was the star
of the period.
Final Spurt
Wren added two more from field
goal made from a pass the entire
length of the floor. Here Frank and
Weigle each got one point from two
double fouls. DeVore shot field
goal and Newlin made some pretty
plays for the Academy, though no
score resulted. Frank also shot
field goal and then added three
points from his accurate foul toss
ing. Weiglc also made a one-pointer
and Fields made his first field goal.

NOTES OF THE GAME
Wren. who was formerly on the
Steelton varsity team, played a fast
game, making several sensational
shots which were responsible in turn
ing the tune to a victory for the
Academy five.
The Academy boys played all
around the Central team in the second
half. The High School players ap-
peared to be lost
Weigle, a former Central second team
player was the Academy's largest
scorer. 1t was this players speed and
ability to shoot from the free line that
placed confidence in the Academy
team players.
Academy supporters occupied one
side of the auditorium while Central
enthusiasts were seated on the other
side. The cheering of both student
bodies continued throughout the
game. When the Central team seemed
to be going to pieces several times i'm
the last half it was the cheering and
encouraging remarks from the stu
dents that put pep" into their play
ing.
