day won the championship of the

feating Centrars lightweight eleven
by booting a field goal and scoring
touchdown. Score, to o. :.

dropped back. and lifted the pigskin
over the crossbar for 3-pointer
and Techs first score.

Central. Central was weak on the
defense In this part Of the game.
Techs touchdown came the sec

forced to punt Allie Johnson's at

by Marshall on the Central 35-yard
line From there the ball was
taken to the 14-yard line on two
rushes by Harwood and ,Whyte and

lacked consistency and never pene-
trated the Tech 30-yard line.
