TECH WINS CHAMPIONSHIP
IN GAME WITH PORTLAND;
MAROONS PLAY GREAT GAME

All doubts were dispelled Satur-
day as to Tech Highs claim to the
championship of the United States
on the football field when Tech
overwhelmed Portland, Maine, New
England champions, Sc to 0. Four
thousand people braved sharp up
river wind that brought snow.
From the start of the battle to
the end, Tech held the upper hand,
and were never in real danger.
Portland players claim they lost life
in the first quarter when pink"
O'Connell, left halfback, was taken
form the game with a fractured
fibula of the right leg. This boy
was the star of the visitors, doing
the bulk of the end running, hurl-
ing and receiving of forward passes,
as we'll as doing the kicking.
Right End Mcfarland also re-
ceived a fracture of the right arm
They were the only casualties of
the contest. The entire team played
great ball that brought forth ap-
plause from tshe crowded stands.
Carl Beck gave a wonderful exhi-
bition of open field running, five
times crossing the goal line for six
pointers. He has scored 204 points
for the local team in ten games.
Lingle in Limclight
"Buddie" Lingle kept in the
limelight by scoring the second
touchdown for Tech in the first
quarter. He has scored in every
game of the season. Fortune has
been with him, for not once during
the season has he had a serious in
jury. However, not once this sen
son has player gotten away from
Techs first line of defense, so that
BUD was the only Tech player
to keep the runner from a touch

needs no boosting among the local

Judging from Alberts' record, the
Greek will get the greatest surprise

over Young Herman, and Tim Droney,
proves that the Reading boy has the
goods.
The semi -windup. between Young
Fulton. Allentown's best bantam, and
Kid Richmond, the Baltimore phan-

two speed boys must be acknowledged
to be the best of their weight that
ever appeared in a local ring. They
have defeated every man they met
Manager Barrett has promised the
winner a star bout before his club in
the near future with some top notch
bantam.
The return six round bout between
Willie Langford, Gill's boxing part

ON THE GRIDIRON

There were three other inter-sec-
tionaf contests played Saturday, and
in each case the home team won.
Somerville, suburban champions OF
Boston, lost to Scott High at Toledo,
13 to 0. In the Boston champion
ship, the winner is awarded two
points; a tie gives one point, and
defeat, nothing. Somerville had
four ties, and led with eight points.
The other High school followed one
point in the rear. Four ties, and
yet Toledo barely beat them IS to 0.
Great Scott.
Flushing, y. Y, downed Aurora,
ILL.,, 81 to 0. Haverhill, Mass, de-
feated Englewood High, of Chicago,
27 to IA. According to the Port
land players, Haverhill has one of
the weakest teams in New Eng
land.
To amass 701 points in IL games
without being scored on, is rec
ord that will speak for itself. Not
another team in the country has a
record that is comparable. Tech
can stand on its record, and will be
awarded the championship by neu-
trail sporting experts.
Dick Rauch has splendid chances
for landing the captaincy of State.
Dick played on the Tech reserves
years ago, being prominent only in
track. At Bethlehem Prep he be-
came proficient on the gridiron,
Sphinx" O'Connell and MacFar-
land, the two players who were hurt
in the Tech-Portland contest, left for
home with their teammates yester-
day morning.
The football season at Tech has
been q success in more than one
way. In addition to winning the
championship, the year just closed
was the must successful from a fl
nancial point of view due to the un-
firing energies of Financial Director
]. f. Rees. He advertised the games
well and was on the job every min
ute of the time.
The celebration at Tech was cut to
n minimum this morning. Only two
more weeks remain in which to pre-
pare for the annual celebration at
Christmas time. Glass work was
started at once without much cere-
mony, as the Tech students had ala
most taken the championship as a
matter of fact. Now for hard grind
on books until the Christmas vaca-
ton.
The first of a series of banquets in
honor of the champions was pulled
off this noon when the Rotary Club
entertained the Tech football team

A coincidence of the contest was
the fact that fourteen points were

was for forty yards, while Garrett
made forty-five yards when he in

On a fake kick formation Beck ran
for a touchdown, but the ball was
brought back to the thirteen-yard
mark as Beck had gone out of
bounds on the run, which was good
for only forty yards. Lingle ripped
through the line for four yards and
then Beck made the first of the

than Comfort has shown this year

downs were a repetition of the first

Canada's Bird Refuge.

1t Is something for one bird to tell
another that Canada has created a
series of reserves in the province Of
Quebec where birds are safe from man
made troubles.
Unlike most bird refugees, Perce
Rock, a picturesque island near Perce
village; the east and north cliffs OF
Bonaventure island, three miles further
away; and the northernmost of the
Magdalen islands, 124 miles out to sea,
have been set apart specifically to pro-
tect birds whose value to mankind is
chiefly their beauty as a part Of ma
ture.
There is no attempt to argue. for
example. that the gannet. the kitti-
wake, or the razorbill aux should be
protected because they "belp the
fdrmer"; they are protected simply be-
cause they are birds.
No human being may steal an egg
from their nests; no weapon danger
Gus to their welfare may be brought
within a mile Of their island sanctu-
aries.
Naturally all other birds are equally
safe, and the refugees will be help
toward carrying out the purpose Of
the international treaty for bird pro-
lection.
