l.-1 UxHS ~ struggled brave
Ia - WITN ly, but they
speed nor strength With the
smooth gentlemen from Seventh
street.
Techs margin was the result OF
one touchdown in the second period,
another in the third, and pair more
added in the final quarter, as against
a single score pushed across by East
ern early in the fourth period. after
a steady advance half the length OF
the field.
Eastern made its greatest bid for
the game near the middle OF the
first quarter. when a twenty-yard
dash by Allan and a couple Of long
gains by Prender planted the ball
on Techs 15-yard line. The Manual
Trainers line stiffened at this point.
and the burly Herzog was called
upon for a drop-kick. Standing on
the 32-yard line, close to the edge
of the field. he missed by a scant
three yards.
Breaks Give Tech start.
1t was a lucky break that gave
Tech its first score soon after, but
once gaining the upper hand, the
Manual Trainers were invincible. Ref
cree Greer. certainly the most eagle
eyed official who has acted in the
present series. espied Newman, East
ern's left guard, engaged in the pas
time of taking a playful poke at
an opponents physiognomy, and
promptly banished him from the
game. As a result Of this misde-
meanor. Eastern was penaIized forty
three yards. half the distance to
their goal line.
Tech, quick to reap the advantage
of this break, took the ball across
the line in Jig time. The score came
when MacCartee flung a forward
pass over the goal line. McCor-
mick was waiting on the business
end. Standing almost on the edge
of the restricted area. he gathered
in the ball with eclat and a pair
of good hands. Pugh planted the
ball between the posts for the sd
ditional point.
Though the period ended shortly
after. Eastern was beaten right
there. The Capitol Hill boys
seemed demoralized in the second
half, and save for their one con-
certed drive down the field in the
fourth period, never had a chance,
to get an offensive started.
"Itchy" Prender Hurt.
The complete failure of Eastern
may be attributed to three causes.
First, the Punishment of Newman.
one of Guyon's biggest line men:
second, the suddenness of Techs
first score. and third. an injury to
the neck OF Capt. itchy" Prender.
which necessitated his removal from
the game in the first minute OF the
third period and left him SO weak
and groggy that he was of little
use to his team when he was
showed back in the fray in the anal
quarter.
1t was little Meyers. subbing for
Prender in the second half. who In
lected enough fghting spirit into
the Eastern attack to register the
only score for his team, though IL
was pushed across at a time when
Eastern's was practically a forIorn
hope, and was more than neutraI-
lzed when Tech twice swept down
tia field for touchdowns in rapid
succession shortly after.
The second break of the game
came early in the third quarter.
when HALEY, plucking an Eastern
forward pass out of the air. dashed
to Eastern's 37-yard line before be-
ing felled. Then Tech proceeded to
show its ability to score without
the aid of the aerial heave,
Two rushes by MacCartee placed
the ball on Eastern's 2O-yard line,
and Supplee advanced to the To-
yard stripe on another pair of
smashes. Shanks added 3, MacCar-
tee 2. and Supple lodged OF left
tackle for the touchdown. Pugh
again drove the ball over the bar
to nail down the addional point.
Eastern Gets Touchdown.
Along toward the end of the, De.
riod Allan broke through to Techs
SO-yard line on, a dash from mid
field. ami the same individual shot
a pass in the general direction OF
Moran. who eluded tacklers until he
reached the 17-yard mark. A plunge
by Moran netted yards as the pc
riod ended.
Three line plays gained less than
yards, but Meyers, equal to the
emergency, ordered forward pass
on fourth down. Allan took the
ball and started around left end.
but halted on the 13-yard line and
pegged the ball squarely under the
goal posts to the waiting Myers
who nailed 1t with neatness and dis
patch.
That was Eastefn's last bid. for
Tech was rampant for the remain
der of the period. On one of the
first plays following Eastern's scor6
MacCartee hastened around his left
end for so yards and a touchdown.
though undeservedly called back to
the 35-yard line. where 1t was
claimed he had stepped outside.
There were more means than one
of making that score. however. The
irrepressible MacCartee shot a for
ward to the equally irrepressible
Mccormick, who captured it behind
the goal line for a touchdown.
Pugh's toe again proved accurate
enough to score the extra point.
Techs fourth score came with
startling suddenness. An attempted
forward pass was blocked and re-
covered by April on Eastern's 20
yard line. A skirt around the right
end by MacCartee netted 10 yards
and one smack into the line by the
same player carried it over.
That was the end of the scoring,
though another Tech advance was
checked only when a pass over the
line failed to find a receiver.
