CENTRAL HIGH DEFEATS WALKER TEAM, IA TO 0
Rx .pnNzr., M1I.xs

In one of the hardest fought games Of the local prep season, the Central High football team. made up of scrubs, yester- day defeated the Walker team here, IA to O.
 The game was in doubt mtn the final whistle, as Walker fought hard all the way, and it was due only to the fine de- fensive work of Shannon and McNeil on the Iine and Lahan and Anderson in the back field that the Crimson and White team was not scored on. There were only four varsity men in tho open ing lineup. and only ono more went in, when Rox took Flats" McNeirs place at center when he broke his collarbone, which will keep him out for the rest of the season.
 In the first few minutes of play in the first quarter it looked as if Central was to have a walkaway when they took Walkers kickoff and carried the ball to the 15-yard line, but the aspect soon changed, when the Crimson and White was penalized IS yards for holding, and then, on the next play, lost 10 more, when McNeil threw low to Lillian and the Crimson fullback was unable to get his hands on the ball. The ball went over. and Walker then began an ad- vance that sent fear 70 the heart Of every Crimson supporter, as Sparks & Cc. sliced through both guards. tackles and around ends for good gains. It was only by the great defensive work or Shannon and McNeil, who seemed to be the only ones able to tackle the Walker boys was like a stone wall. In this quar- making practically all the tackles.
 They were ably backed up at this stage of the game by Iahan and Anderson in the back field. The rest of the quarter was spent by each side trying unsuccess- fully to buck the others line for touch down, but neither successful.
 The second quarter started off with the ball in Centrafs possession, and De- fore many minutes had passed Jack Lillian had raced 40 yards for touch down. Anderson kicked goal. This ended the scoring in this quarter. and the rest was spent with the ball swapping rom one side to the other in the center Of tho field.
 Toward the close of this quarter, Levy attempted field goal from the So-yard line, but failed.

 tain Horween called the toss of the coin
 and chose to defend the north goal and
 to receive the kick.
 Keek, Pyincetons kicking tackle, sent
 the ball spinning to Harvard's 25-yarl
 line, where Talbot caught it and ran It
 back to the 37-yard line. Because or
 holding in the Princeton line, Harvard
 was allowed 15 yards.
 The Crimson attacked instead Of kick
 ing, and Owen gained six yards through right tackle. On another rush. owen gained the distance and it was first
 down on Princeton's A-yard line. Breas- ing through the left side of Princeton s line with excellent interference on a CT. .ss-cross play, Owen gained 15 yards. Princeton players piled on and Referee 1 Maxwell imposed a 15-yard penalty. Horween's third rush was not to be de- nied and he went over for touchdown. The Harvard stands went wild and sl- fenced their shouts only to allow Faxon to boot the completing goal from touch down.
 The succeeding kickoff was by Hor- ween and the Crimson captain booted 1 the ball to Princetons 7-yard line, where Quarterback Lourie started run pacA which stopped only on Princeton's Sa' | yard line by Tolbert. A Tiger offense I got under way wi.h plunge py Ierrits l that netted four yards through Hubbard and Woods. Princeton then turned tc 1 the forward pass for gain, Scherer tt Lourie, and the latter crossed midfiei, before he was downed on HardvAsd's sS- yard line.
 Princeton sent four men far out on the right side of the line, leaving Louri al most unprotected. On a forward pass l.ourie fumbled and Woods recovered for Harvard on the H-yard line. Churchill failed to gain, and Owen punted to Lourie, who brought the ball back to the 2.-yard lin.
 Princeton's forwards were offside or the next lineup and suffered five-yard penalty Garrity made up the loss witi' three yards for good measure on knif- ing slash against Faxon.
