VIII Give C0mo %: .isen.
Some idea Of the comparative
strength Of four of the teams will be
gathered when Tech faces E0.seop.i.
and Business meets Alexandria. Thi"
pair Of Virginia eievens have shown
the way to two local school team
and they afe apt to make the going
rough for their opponents this week
The Episcopal team. espe ciaily. will
give Tech q real test. II Coach Har

II by the manner In Will iii Eastern
was humbled Ragged line work In
which the guards and TACKLES failed
to dive low In an effort to stop fou
heavy backs was mainly resp3nsiol'
for Eastefn's defeat. Just how TO
combat offensive play seemed to be-
wilder Guyons coherts.
Episcopal made four touchdowns
against Eastern with comparative
ease. Had less penalties been Inn
posed on the Virginia team the score
would have been increased consid-
erably Episcopal drew first blood
in tie first quarter when Moneure
raced 40 yards for a tally. This
same youngster grabbed q forward
pass in the second period and dashed
to the goal.
When Eastern's line crumbied
Moncure worked his way past the
backs on to the goal He also made
ant "r touchdown in the third quar-
ter after evading a dozen Eastern
ers. Bridges quarterback for Epis-
copai, as we'll as Daniel and Wood
ard. gained considerable ground
Bridges brought the fourth touch
down for Episcopal in the tkird pc
riod.
There was but one real piece of
clever work done by Eastern. Beck
with registered the only score for his
team when he scooped up fumb.e
and raced 60 fards for a Eyal.
Hughes played u stellar defensive
parne for Eastern and So did Tucei,
But the rest of their comrades ap-
peared to lack the desired punch i'll

pal gridmen.
One Of the biggest surprises of the
year resulted in the Central -Alexan-
dria clash. The Blue and White was
outgeneraled. outplayed and it's fee BILE
attack was smothered. 1t made but
two frst- downs, while the yirginians
gained six. Victory for Alexandria
came In the last flve minutes Of play.
Yost. playing safety for Central.
fumbled kelley's punt. McDermott
co cred the ball within 10, yards of
the goal. NJ. Gilfoy bored through
Central and was over several feet.
K. Smith drop kicked the extra point.
Central could DO little with Alex
andrias liae. Time and time again
II attempted to smash through right
and left tackles. but II was halted so
often that Coaches White and Kirby
instructed their charges during the
half to try skirting the ends and use
more forward passes. This method OF
attack also failed. although Hafles
completed n neat throw to Wilmer for
a gain of 15 yards. 1t was at this
stage of the game that Central
threatened to score. Alexandria line
held. Hance tried for drop-kiek.
but failed.
