Villanova College is here today play

Pennsylvania eleven will outweigh the
Brooklanders, who are facing a su-

the last engagement of the year here.
Thursday c. L. goes to play the
Western Virginia University team at
Charlestown, w. Va. The Brook

Although the lads under Tom
Tracey have shown consistent i'm
provement, they have been unfortu-
nate in being unable to come through.
Gallaudet was tied and Maryland
State held to a Is to o score.
Today the Brooklanders shave a

Against this Yale supporters point
out that they, too. would have tied

that Princeton scored a touchdown
against Harvard by straight, smash

were unable to do against the Blue.

Maryland State College plans on
keeping all its pet plays safe from
prying Hopkins eyes today at College
Park when the Western Maryland
eleven of Westminster 10 played.
The Staters are priming up for the
big Thanksgiving Day battle at Home
wood Field, Baltimore. Thursday, and
are expecting to take 1t easy today

them to be ready for the Baltimore
battle. Coach Byrd may use many
second string players although the
regulars will be given a workout
The engagement will be the last of
a few home games played by State
this season. A season of ups and
downs in wins has found the Mary
landers steadily improving. Tackling
such elevens as Yale, West Virginia,
and Swarthmore has had a beneficial
effect upon the State youngsters.
Unless they suffer from -overconfi-

Central ANNEXES
FOOTBALL H0NORS

Central High School with it's third
successive high school title safely
tucked away for another season. has
created a remarkable record in the
past four years and one unequaled In
ball. n
Yesterday Tech High was set back
by IA to Z score in the Central sta
dunn in the last game Of the 1919 80
ries before a capacity crowd. Esti-
mates place the attendance At $500.
Those who were fortunate enough to
gain admission were treated to . rare
Central victory.
The score just about indicates the
strength OF the eleven in yesterdays
engagement. Centrars superior line
plunging tactics with cleverly
switched attack displayed ground
gaining ability that would not be de-
MED. Central fumbled once with a
touchdown almost in prospect
TecA Appeared STAKE.
Tech appeared a bit stale and lack
ed the punch necessary to produce the
required distances. The game opened
with Tech scoring SO easily that it
looked as though Central was in for
good trouncing. Heine kicked off.
Strohecker advanced to the 27-yard
line. No gain on two downs forced
Connolly to kick. His punt went out
of bounds three yards. A line plunge,
a forward pass, Wardwell to Probey.
and three line smash with a penalty
put Wardwell over for Tech in three
minutes.
Centrars break came toward the
close OF the first half Wardwell
muffed a punt and Jimmy Lennon
was on the ball. Line smashed and an
attempted end run failed signally. A
penalty and the entrance of Dick
Newby decided the issue and Conklin
went over. Connolly kicked goal

Tech wilted perceptibly in the

took things too easily and failed to
rise TO the occasion when sustained
defense would have gotten them
much.
There was little to choose between
the ends on both teams. Centrars
line, however, proved to be the de-
Gliding factor. The Blue and White
backfield, too, chose holes well and
willingly with the result that instead

Central was pushing merrily down
the field for another touchdown. when
time was up. having intercepted a
forward pass in the last few minutes
of play. The Mt. Pleasant lads should
have won by a larger margin had
luck broken better for them.
The team closed up successful
season under Coach C. A. Metzler. Not
one game has been lost by the Dark
Blue since the new school started.
Central has won three titles and an in
formal championship. and has been
scored on but seven times in its own
