HARTMAN PLAYS CLEVER FOOT BALL

Hartman, Western center, will

earn a place on an all-star team.
Playing against Eastern yesterday,
this husky boy kept on his toes at
all times, and was mainly responsible
for his teams 13-to-7 success. The
Western attack was based on line
shifts, right and left, and while the
other members of the Red and White
team did their work in snappy man.
ner. it was Harriman's perfectly
timed passing that assured the sue
cess of the offense. He also proved
strong defensively, spelling in the
making more than few Eastern eff
forts to advance.
With the veterans Burke and Daw-
son carrying the ball in efficient
manner, Western flashed through the
first half of the game as if it would
,oyerwhelm the Light Blue and White.
Dawson's 35-yard run gave Western
a score in the opening period. while
Burke's plunges brought another in
the second period. This ended West
ern's aggressiveness. In the second
half, the Red and White lacked dash
| in attack and weakened defensively.
Eastern's combination looked more
| like a foot ball team than any other
| eleven that has represented the Capt.
! toll Hill institution in years. The

Anglers are in a quandary as to
where to try their luck tomorrow.
Last Sunday most of the sportsmen
were disappointed, only few landing
even small trout. 1t is the belief of
many of the sportsmen that the fish
have not left nearby waters and that
only severe cold spell will drive
them away.
Those who tried their luck at Bene-

be desired. They caught white perch

taries of the Potomac to try for big

to land many bass, but caught num-

Clear water in the upper Potomac

more than a score of bass from the

Poor generalship. more than any
thing else, brought disaster to the
big Central eleven in the game with
Baltimore City College. in Central
stadium yesterday. The Blue ana
White at the start looked good enough
to swamp the Observation-Disclosures band
ed Hornets. but the latter kept sting
ing away at their huskier opponents
and finished on the better end OF a
2O-to-7 score. Central sacrificed op-
portunities to gain through poor
choice of attack. and on defense was
outeuessed time and again by the
Baltimoreans.
So far as straight foot ball was con-
cerned. Baltimore City college, was
outplayed. Central gained about three
times as much ground as the Hor-
nets, but Offset this advantage by ire
