It was Red and White day at Irwin
field yesterday in the final game Of the
city public high school football series
and the Manual eleven put the skids I'M
der their Shortridge rivals to the tune Of
80 to 0. The boys from the south side
simply ran wild after they got under
full Roadway and Coach julius lads from
the north side could do little in the way
of stopping the charge of the red-jer-
seyed warriors.
The contest was started with great
gustto on the part of the rival cheering
sections and the best of feeling prevailed :
throughout. -Four officials were used to
direct the contest and with the exception
that the game turned into a rout, every
thing went off in fine style.
The Manual boys got away to a flying
start when HarmesOn booted a place7kiek
over the Shortridge goal. The first period
ended to 0 in favor of Manual. Then
in the second period the Red and White
machine put over a touchdown and the
opening half closed with the score 8 to 0
III favor of the Manualites. AT the start
OF the third period a Manual tumble
gave ShOrtridge an excellent chance, and
for time the Manual boys were put on
the defensive Shortridge rapidly car
ried the ball to the Manual goal line
and had the pigskin over, only to tumble.
Manual fell on the ball behind its own
goal line for a touchback, which per
mitted Manual to put the ball in play
on its own twenty yard line This Short
ridge mlscue apparently was the break
of hte game, for the Blue and White
really was going big until the tumble
occurred, preventing a ShOrtridge score.
Manual braced Immediately following
this incident and instantly started a
whirl of gains.
Seven points were scored by the south
siders in the third period and thirty -four
in the fourth. The contest developed into
a rout for Shortridge and Manual prac-
tically ran up and down the field at will
in the closing minutes Of play. The big
feature was an elghty-fve-yard run
through the entire ShOrtridge team by
Harmeson, who took the ball on the
kickoff and raced away to the Shortridge
goal.
Quarter Back Harmeson was the out
standing star Of the day With his long
end runs, off tackle spirits and forward
pass gains. He played like a college vet
and displayed germ that indicates he will
be heard from as a star when he enters
the collegiate ranks.
Summers. Manual full back, and Stew
art half back, also played with bril-
liancy, In fact it was a Manual day.
Reichel, Cecil and other Manual lines
men tore huge holes in the ShOrtridge
forward defense, and the Manual ends
also did exceptionally well. ShOrtridge
showed little defense against the for
ward pass and Manual made gain after
gain by the aerial route
In the series played by the three To-
cal public high schools Manual is the
only school to score 4 victory. Shortridge
and Tech played a scoreless game and
Manual and Tech did likewise. Then
came yesterdays game and hardly any
one figured that there Was much differ
ence in class between Manual and Short
ridge previous to the contest But after
the event was over, oh, my. what diff
ference!
Years ago. in the "old days along
about 1908, Shortridge defeated Manual,
81 to O. In the contest yesterday Manual
had a chance to top that score, but when
the touchdowns were coming rapidly
nearly all the team members were given
a chance at booting goal. whereas II
Harmeson had been left to do all the
kicking after tOuchdOwns the count prob
ably would have been raised to about 53
or 81 TO 0.
Riley played a hard game for Short
ridge yesterday, but he was Handicapped
by an injured leg right in the midst
of his good work. Wanner, quarter back
also did we'll
Reichel, star Manual center, displayed
his all-around ability by dropping back
into the back field once TO carry the ball
over for a touchdown. He also con-
tributed many tackles, both in scrim-
mage and in the open field.
