Because of yesterdays victory,
Tech is boasting of it's high standing.
Even Techs foes say that Washing
ton and Lees victory, , to o, was On
f1uke. Tech did not use it's sh.tt
until it was too late and then
fumbles took away three touchdowns
The Yellow Jackets want to battle
Georgetown largely because OF
Georgetown's standing on the grIi
iron. Yesterdays victory has wiped
out the sting of those defeats Gy
Pittsburgh and Washington and Lee.
Coach EXendne forgot about tie
defeat to mourn over the injury to
Johnny McQuade. He had little to
say about the game, but he did be-
lieve that the Yellow Jacket who hit
McQuade, went too far. McQuade had
run outside and the whistle hal

McQuade was not expecting this AMI

hard tackle tore the ligaments of his

Jim Scheerer was in six minutes,
but he needed only a few seconds for
his sensational debut as hero premier
of the year. Princeton had resigned
itself to a tie score with some salts
faction after the youthful Murrey had
kicked away the lead that the Blue
held over Captain McGraw and his
desperate Tigers.
There was less than three minutes
to go, and the Blue side OF the field
was bemoaning the stroke of fortune
that had allowed the Tigers to shake
of the death grip OF the Bulldog. Then
it happened.
Herb Hampton. the vaunted Yale
halfback, whom the Princeton offense
had been groomed to watch, fumbled
pass on his 10-yard line. A half
dozen huskies made for the bounding
ball in a mad rush as the crowd rose
to it's feet in an intense suspense.

Scheerer headed the rush for the
ball, scooped IL up from the ground
and dashed behind the goal line for

Close to 10000 spectators who sat
in the huge bowl, buried above
their ears in fur coats and wrapped
in blankets to ward off the chill OF
a cold, wintry afternoon. saw a bat
tie between the Bulldog and the Tiger
that abounded in thrills and more
thrills.
They saw the alleged worn and
battered Tiger backs plunge through
the heavy Blue line almost at Will
They saw the comparatively light
Nassau line hold like concrete under
the rushes of the beefy Yale backs
when the Blue wanted most to batter
down the defense in the shadow Of
the Tiger goal
They saw Herb Kempton, the noted
runner-back of punts and famous
sprinter, stopped dead in his tracks
by Princeton forwards who beat the
spectacular punts of Maury Trimble
down the field time after time.
They watched also with thrills the
HercuIean efforts of Jim Braden. the
big Blue kicker, to give Yale a victory
in one of the two games that she
wants most TO win. The educated toe
of that noted eackfield star gave
Yale her six points with two drop
kicks. The other efforts from the
50-yard line failed almost by inches.
Princeton opened the game with
whirlwind attack that swept Yale
back Just like Harvard was swept
back last week. Garrity's line plurg-

FORWARD PASSES
WIN FOR SKATERS

Upon opportune selection of plays
and upon superiority in punting alone,
Maryland State College football r:ay-
ers owe their 13-to-0 victory over
Catholic University on Central field.
In Offense and defense there was lit
tie, if anything, to choose between
the Brooklanders and College Park
men.
Knode's punting was better in the
main than that of Glasscott. His Sc
lection of a forward pass play in the
first half and Groves choice of the
aerial route in the second half, which
netted two touchdowns, spelled defeat
for the Catholic University team.
Impartial spectators could find little
to choose between the teams other
wise. The Brooklanoers had a more
varied attack than the College Park
men. They were better tack,ers and
considerably better on Interference in
picking off the opposition. Weight
told in. the end. however, as it will
with S&~o scrappy teams. and when
Coach Byrd shifted Mackert to the
backfield, State gained prominence
enough to put the ball within scoring
distance.
Three Were Bunchcd.
Lest there be an idea that the game
was a mawkish affair. let II be re-
membered that three gentlemen were
sent to the sidelines for stunts not
countenanced in the code There ap-

were either lenient or disinclined to

For the frst half a stubborn, bitter
battle was witnessed. Tech quickly
nIimbered its famous shifting attack
aud soon Buck" Flowers was trying
a field goal from the 40-yard line.
II failed and shortly after, this re-
markable player was injured so badly
he had to leave the game.
Georgetown took It's turn at rush
fpg but had TO kick. Tech met with
the same fate and the period ended
with neither eleven showing any ad-
vantage over the other. The second
period was young when Tech, follow
ing some sturdy line-plunging by
Judy" Harlan, McDonough and Bar
ron. was under the goal posts. Red
Barron plunged across the goal line
for a touchdown, setting the big
throng crazy.

third period, Johnny McQuade once

end to Techs 35-yard line. Then
hard pIunges into the line brought

uncompleted forward pass over the
goal line brought a touchdown ana
Georgetown's one great opportunity
had gone gliIlmering.
Never again did the Hilltoppers
show sufficient strength to accom-
plish that much, and so three-quar-
ters of the contest was gone, with
Tech leading 8 to o. The fourth
period found Tech gaining speed and
deceptiveness.
The Blue and Gray was crumbling
before the attacks and Harlan hoped
around Tom Sullivan for touch
down. Again the heavy line attack
began and marching seventy yards
down the field, McDonough jumped
over the line for the third touch
down.
Then came the most astounding
play of the game. Scarborough, a
third string substitute, caught Ken
yon's kickoff on his 5-yard line and
galloped the length of the field for
Techs final touchdown. He raced
right through the middle of the Hill
toppers, who were never able to get
anywhere near him. 1t was daz-
cling run and will live long in Tech
history. There you have the high
lights OF the game.
