How Foot Ball Is Played
COMMON SENSE wins foot ball

in material will bring victory only
when the players have been in

The best coaches are the best be-
cause they can impart common
sense principles of play to their
charges. There is no trick to coach
ing. It is a matter of common sense.
FOR example, take an end run:
what makes 1t successful? First of
all. the runner must have fnterfer-
once. Second, the runner must be
fleet Of foot and have that odd trait
of being able to sidestep and dodge
tacklers. But. the best material in
the world cannot execute this run
AGAINST a well coached team unless 1t
has been properly instructed as to
how to interfere and run.

an end run fs not sound when at

which the quarterback receives the
bali from center and then passes 1t to
the back who carries the ball. Yet

reason that this method OF feeding

Centralites surprise two weeks

Eastern has possibilities OF trimming
Tech d week from Friday, even
though the Manual Trainers should
wallop Central.
A comparison Of the Tech and Cen

picking a winner. Both teams pos
sess sturdy lines and each has a
backfield with several clever grid
ironers. Mike Gordon, the versatile
fullback of the Blue and White, dem
onstrated in the Business and East
ern games that he is the most con-
sistent ground gamer In the high
schools. Whether he will be able to
repeat his performances against the
sturdier Tech defense will depend
on the interference given by his
team mates.

Twice fumbles put the Georgetown
goal in jeopardy, and on both occa-
sions unnecessary roughness on the
part of the Hilltop linesmen carried
the ball for Is yards. and until the
very shadow of the goal posts was
reached. The Eagles were quick to
take advantage of these golden and
unexpected opportunities, Darling
each instance. Boston's third score
was the result of beautifully exc
cuted forward pass by Darling to
McKenny.
Georgetown shows Power.
For team that had met with so
many reverses, the men from Wash
ington gave a surprising exhibition
of power. Once, at the beginning of
the third period, when the score was
but to 0, the Hlltoppers. enthused
by Hagertys beautiful run back of
the kickoff from his own 5-yard
line to midfield, started an advance
that had the ball on the Eagles Il
yard line for first down. but here the
Boston defense stiffened and the
visitors were finally compelled to re-
linquish possession when the goal
posts were but 4 yards away.
Darling's superiority in punting had
=
Against the wind he held his own
with Byrne, who had too much of
tendency to kick outside.
The Eagles first score came in the
second period. where Adams muffed
a punt and Koslowsky dropped on the
ball just 26 yards away from the
Georgetown goal line. The imposition
of a penalty for roughness put the
oval Is yards nearer, and then two
lateral passes allowed Darling to
skirt Georgetown's left end twice and
make the touchdown.
Hilltoppers Near Score.
The Hilltoppers made a savage at
tempt to wipe this out in the third
period. where they began an attack
on the Eagles line and had 1t whiting
for a few minutes. Only the Boston
rally on their 4-yard mark saved
them. But 60-yard punt by Darling.
and later on a 30-yard forward pass
to McKenney, let the latter cross the
opposing line.
The third score for Boston came in
this same period, and it was Breslin's
error that led to it. Breslin fumbled
one Of Darling's kicks. and Elbery re-
covered on Georgetown's 20yard
stripe. Roughness once more gave
the Eagles an advance of 15 yards,
and here Darling, by means of an at
tack on left tackle, took the ball
across.
Florence was sure death to attacks
on his side of the line. excepting in
one fatal instance. and the work of
Butler and Thompson on the defense
was superb. But a stalwart line could
not offset the fumbling by erratic
backs, a failure that nullified their
fine showing as open-field runners.
