High School Standings.

These players extended themselves
to their limit to get their two
touchdowns and during the inter-
mission were instructed to play
waiting defense, take no chances
and be satisfied with q victory.

field with the long end of the score.
In addition to those figuring con-

style. There were many who criti-
ciZed the choice OF a forward pass
near the goal line, but speaking
broadly. the Central field general got
the most out of his team and was

Until he was disqualified late in
the game for slugging, Pugh bore
the brunt of the offense of his team.
Several of the successful forward
passes started from his hand and
he made several substantial gains
on runs from kick formation.
Gooch. at fullbacn, had more sue
cess than any of his predecessors
in hammering the Central line. but
1t was a game in which long games
rather than short plunges were the
deciding factor. 1.
