shouting. The West Phillics went down
to glorious defeat in the Central High
game, and the score of 27 to by no
means tells the story Of the game which
was fought and ended in favor of the
big Central High eleven. Two fast
backfields, two sterling quarterbacks
directing the play. but one weak line
and one strong line.
1t is consensus of opinion that IL
the West Phillies' line was man for
man as strong as Central the result
would have been different. Captain
Freddie Sweet showed that he is one of
the greatest school fullbacks in the
country. Central Highs entire team
was not unexpected, though the one
sided tally did come as surprise to
the youngsters across the river.
There are q few sidelights to this
game which were not overlooked. 1t
was the first real cold weather contest
Of the season. The spectators, num-
bcring some 10000, were shivering
most of the time. The scribcs, seated
high up in the grand stand. were shiv-
ering for more reasons than the cold.
That rickety old grand stand was also
shivering, and they we're ready to take
tumble. Some day Central will have
a new stand. and 1t will not be any
too soon for the comfort of those who
don't like quivering grand stands.
Now that West Philadelphia has
been conquered. Central looks forward
t" the Northeast High game next week
and another hard struggle is expected,
as Northeast has been improving Won
derfully of late.
West Catholic High Victors
West Catholic High defeated Villa
nova IA to o. The work of Jim Cum
ningham and Mark Cunningham fea :
tured. Now that West Catholic is right
on st. Joe's heels. the Crimson and
Gray cannot afford to lose the con
test with Catholic High on Thanks
giving Day. Should Catholic High do
the unexpected and win. then West
Catholic and St. Joe would meet in a
game TO decide the championship.
RadnOr Highs 4S to O victory over
Cheltenham may have been champion
ship battle. but it was hardly the kind
of game the suburban rooters had
hoped to see. Radnor's stars. Whet-
stone. Avil. Johnson. Sherr and
Captain Ferry got away for large gains
and played brilliantly. Blessing did
the hest work for Cheltenham.
Collingswood High came back in the
Darby game. The score was Z to Z,
and with about minute to play Nichols
back to the 4O-yard line and
kicked goal which gave the New Jcr-
sey school 10-to-7 victory. Captain
Small scored Darby's touchdown and

Frankford Highs 34-to-0 victory
over Southern added another high score
game to the days records. Wells,

through Southcrn's weak formation for
many gains. Bennctt's running was a
feature. Wells and Remmy circled the
ends for repeated gains.
