A brilliant forward passing attack
and a hard charging line carried
Central to a 12-to-6 victory over
Tech, its greatest rival, this after
noon in the interhigh school cham
pionship series foot ball game in
Wilson Stadium. The victory practi-
cal1y clinched the title for Central,
as 1t has but one more game to play,
that with Eastern. which was van
In the series.
The battle. witnessed by more than
10000 people. was the best scholastic
gridiron engagement held here in
years. As is usual in this game,
which has come to be the classic of
Washington's foot ball season, play
was exceptionally spirited. After
rolling up it's score in the second
period. Central had to fight desper-
ateiy to stave of the determined at
tacks Of the Manual Trainers strIv-
ing to win over the Mount Pleasant
eleven for the first time since 1915.
Aerial Attack Wins.
Aerial attack was directly responsible
Tor Centrafs first touchdown. 1t was
the result Of 25-yard heave by Birth
right to Brinkman standing at Techs
goal. Forward-passing Of a remarkable
nature gained more ground after the
touchdown. but tumble lost the ball

Techs final line
But few plays later a break of the
game made possible because of the ag-
gresSiveness OF the Blue and White for
Waros brought the second score. Tech
had failed to get ground. and Rhees
was sent back to punt. He got the ball
away from his toe. but the fast-driving
Central linemen were right on top OF
MN. and the picking effort was blocked,
Quick as a fash. Hall gathered in the
loose oval and dashed 3 yards to the
coveted line.
Fight ON DoEEedIy.
This did not take the heart out of
Tech. however. nor did the many sue
cessful forward passes later made by
Central The Manual Trainers fought
on doggedly, ard in the final period
courage. They broke into tie forward
passing business themselves, and with
Pr1ce doing the hurting and Murray,
Quesada and Gooch the receiving deeply
invaded Central's territory.
ss ,SsH Ehen nea.d their
goal, the Manual Trainers called
upon their little right end, Charlie
Pugh. for a field goal attempt and
he made good with a vengeance,
sending the ball over from the 90
yard line. A little later. after Techs
when Murray barely missed catching
a forward pass behind Centrals goal,
Pugh again was called into service
and from the S5-yard line sent the
ball spinning squarely between the
upriEhts and above the crossbar.
This final field goal came just as
the whistle ending the game sounded
The successful kick was a fitting
climax to the most sparkling contest
ever played between these rivals, who
have been foot ball foemen since 1902,
when Tech was founded.

went over Harwood's head and he did
not recover it until 1t reached Techs

wood then went through right tackle
for 13 yards and Murray got more
through the same spot. Central was
penalized for being offside and it was
Techs ball at midfeld. Childress in

Birthright sent a long forward pass
to Rauber that took the ball to Techs
12-yard line.
