Captain Wolfe had the task of stop
ping the Tech captain. Noble Frank
drew first blood for Central by land

was succession of fouls by Frank

came back strong, outplaying Tech
in the final period by a Is to IL
cF he fire
period was too great, and Tech re-
manned a winner. Central failed to
tally a single field goal for thirty
three minutes. and it began to look
as though the Blue and Gray were
due for a whitewashing. With just
seven minutes to go, the Central
crew started things, bringing ptheir
total to within four points of Tech,
but the rally came too late. Yet the
scoring brought the entire crowd to
it's feet, so exciting were the mo-
ments.
For Central, Frank and Fields did
the best, work. Had the team been
little Stronger at the forward po-
sitions. the quintet would have had
more of chance for victory. Cap
tain Huston and Lingle were the
best workers for Tech.

teresting struggle. So evenly were
the teams matched that at half
time they were tied at IA points

half the Tech Reserves, headed by
Calvin Frank and Johnny Beck, led
