Not in half a dozen years had the
team failed to pound its way across
the Business goal line.
But IL was a battling Busines:
ream that Coach Mike Kelley put
on the field yesterday. 1t did not
intend to only stop Tech from
swapping it or even be contented
with a tie. for from the start the
Stenographers went onto the Of

watt Does Punting.
Watt, too. played a. bright part
in the Business achievement. Every
time his team was stopped he was
ealAd upon to punt. and while his
kicks were sometimes short. al
other times he sent the ball SAIL
ings through the air for half the
lenrth of the field and in this de-
partment of the game gave his team
the advantage most of the way.
The reaction from the failure to
win from Central showed plainly
in the work of Tech. This partic-
ularly was evident in the first two
quarters. The players lacked the
spirited smash and drive that kept
them in the hunt in the biggest
gane of the season. But after the
intefmission the Manual Trainers
showed a marked Improvement and
fought to better advantage.
Capt Quesada, Harwood, Muir
ray and Gooch carried the Tech
attack so far as advancing the
ball was concerned. but II was upon
Pugh that dependence was placed
when the real points were needed
Early in the proceedings Tech found
that the Business line would not
give and the ends would not re-
treat. so veery time the ball was
within sorning distance Pugh was
sent back to drop-kick.
From marks as far out as forty
yards he took shots at the posts,
and four times failed before upon
the last try he put it over for the
points that brought victory.
Better at Rushing.
Business had the better of the
rushing in the first half and got
to little more than two feet OF
the, goal while Techs chances of
scoring went glirnmering as Pugh's
toe failed
with the opening of the second
half both teams launched an aerial
offensive and running from scrim-

tion rather than the rule. Lons
and short heaves were shot through

finally successive forward passes
that got the ball to twenty-eight
yards from the goal. when Pugh
put over the kick that decided the
