history of the. east side school as the
Quickest battle ever put up by the
Green and White athletes.
Male High went onto the wet, muddy
gridiron with the followers of the grid
game expecting the Colonies to win by
! thirty or more points. Male High school
athletes came from that battle field filed
with respect for the Technical football
players. Male High played its game, but
Technical more than played its game.
The Indianapolis boys showed so much
better yesterday than at any time this
season that they appeared to be playing
far over their heads" At any rate II
Technical had played in other games equal
to the way that Technical played against
Louisville there would have been no
games lost by the east side school until
they met Louisville.
The Kentucky team won and deserved
to win. Male High School has without a

being the best back field man on
southern high school. However, when the
Technical goal lire was in danger the
Green and White stopped Kirwan, Miller,
Marks and even the shifty Sadtler, all
but once. That was the fatal one time
and it came in the third quarter.
A series Of steady gains by the whirl-

The game was played on q slippery,
muddy field, and It rained much of the
time. However, the followers of foot
ball who went to the Technical athletic
field were well repaid. for they saw the
best exhibition Of high school football

season. They saw Tech, touted as the

High won, and deserved to win, but
Technical won more honor in It's losing
game than It did in winning any game
this year, for Tech played the best game
Of its season yesterday.
