Central Wins Hard Battle
 From EnsLey
By ~PoNzIE- MILLS

By ~PONZIES- MILLS In one of the hardest fought games seen on Redwood field this year, and one in which the result was in doubt until the last few minutes of play, Gen. tral defeated their old rivals,
 the Ensley Yellow Jackets, IA to 6.
 The Crimson grinders, Jed by Jack Lil-
 Han. who seemed as if he could never
 be stopped by a high school line, wrecked
 revenge for the two defeats, that the
 Yellow Jacket grid warriors have admin
 istered to them the past two years and
 downed Ensleys hopes of having q clear
 claim to the title and from being scorel
 upon this season. Jack Lillian proved
 himself to he the best line plunger in
 prep gridiron circles when, time after
 time, he tore the Yellow Jacket line to
 shreds He gained 209 yards in 49 at
 tempts and only failed to gain twice,
 besides playing nice defensive game
 throughout This is, indeed, record for
 q prep fullbacil to make in one strug- gle.
 JACKS FOUGHT GAMELY The Ensley gridders put up a game fight but were outclassed from the start and only the fumblng of the Crimson
 backs at critical times kept the score down. Tom Anderson snagged pass from the air when the Yellow Jacket general, Whitehead, attempted a forward pass and, aided by the wonderful inter ference of Jack Shannon, raced B yards for a touchdown in the last few minutes
 of play. This ended the Ensey lads | chance of victory.
 The game was filled with thrills all | the way through and with a drop kick, ir1I.a rialy f1rx arHT ri
 plays kept the spectators on their feet 1 from start to finish.
 The battle started off with a rush. Whitehead attempting one-sde kick but failed, and Lawley returned the ball
 five yards On the next play Anderson | fumbled and Ensley recovered on the i Crimson 25-yard line They then started | their drive to the Crimson goal line and i with 20-yard pass, Whitehead to Scokel, 1 orossed the line in the first few minutes l of play. Rosenfeld failed at goal After an exchange of punts Cooper replaced
 Mendenhall at left guard. The rest of l the quarter was spent with the ball
 changing hands every few minutes. In 1 this quarter Ensley was peralized 4l yards for attempting an illegal substi- tuition of Mendenhal, and this placed l the Crimson in position to score in the l next quarter The quarter ended with 1 he ball in Centrars possession on the
 
 l Central carried the ball across for | her first touchdown at the beginning 1 of the second quarter in eleven straight 1 line plunges, of which. seven were made l by Jack Lillian, who bucked the ball l over /the line. Stubbs kicked goal The | score was then, Central :, Ensley 6. Tho 1 rest of the quarter was bunting duel between Rosenfela for Ensley and Rox 1 for Central. with the honors resting | slightly with Rosenfeld. The quarter
 ended with the ball on Centrals 40-yard
 line, Anderson intercepting a pass just as l the whistle blew.
 l Tn the third quarter the Crmsons al most lost the game on account of the costly fumbles of the Central backs, who 1 fumbled every time drive would be | started. They were guilty of this of- | fense four times and only good work of
 the line in holding the Jacket backs saved them, as an Ensley warrior recov- l cred the ball each time The ball re- mained in the Crimson territory almost l continually in this half and it was a 1 relief to the Crimson followers when the whistle blew for the end of this quar- ter. s A l Rosenfeld attempted drop kick from the 40-yard line at the beginning of the | fourth quarter. but the ball went wide. | In this quarter Lillian tore through the center of the line almost at will and | eained AS yards in nine tries through ] there Stubbs attempted a placement kick from the 40-yard line, but the ball 1 went wide. When all had considered the scoring through for the day. Anderson | intercepted a pass and. aided by Shan non, scored the second touchdown as i described above Stubbs kicked goal, making the score stand, Central IA and l Ensey S.
 The Crimson stars on the line were 1 Rox shannon and McNeil their work standing out above the rest. Anderson proved to be good running mate to Lillian.
 For Ensley. Favette played good
 game in the line, breaking up play after play TinkIepaugh and Whitehead low Jackets.
