BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, October 25.-The New
York Giants and the Chicago White
Sox. in their second exhibition game
in England, yesterday gave several
thousand British fans" a real demon
stration of big league base ball. The
Giants won a thrilling game, 3 to 2,
with a ninth-inning rally.
Among the interested spectators
were the Duke and Duchess of York.
The son of King George was received
by Ambassador Kellogg and introduced
to John McGraw, the Giants manager.
In addition. the duke met the players
and insisted on shaking hands with
each of them.
The Giants, playing at their best,
held on to slim one-run lead until
the eighth inning, when the Sox
drove two runs over the plate. But
the apparent victorS had their SEEM
ing triumph snatched away by the
New York rally, when two runs were
scored

as six of the ten universities sent
their foot ball teams into champion

three clashes bringing forward a sue

Red Grange and his Illini team

scrimmage against De Pauw at

Chicago and Ohio State. at Columbus.
and Wisconsin and Michigan, at Ann

Seldom has Tech team presented
a more efficient forward wall. The
!, Blue and White ball carriers found
the Tech line a bulwark, as they
registered but six first downs in the
game The Maroon and Gray first
line defense went about its work like
machine, Notwithstanding the fact
that it's members had never engaged
in a high school titular match before
this year.
Even the fleet Mike Gordon failed
dismally when he attempted to race
past the sturdy Techites. Inability
to open any gaps in the Maroon and
Gray defense, lack of interference
and failure to demonstrate they
knew the fundamentals were the
defects shown by Central.
Tech possessed the necessary
punch when it threatened the Blue
and White goal and doubtless would
have made bigger score but for
several penalties. At no one time
during the game did the Centralites
actually threaten to score. but they
were deep in Tech territory in the
head attack. They were held for
downs, howeevr, and Tech kick ed
out of danger.
After an exchange of punts in the
early stages of the first period with
neither team able to advance, the
Techites unleashed an aerial attack,
which put them in scoring distance.
Turner gave a pretty exhibition of
catching when he stretched for kess-
ler's heave near the side line. The
pass netted IS yards and was so
heartening that Quarterback Kessler
threw another, which Parsons caught,
placing the oval on Centrars 7-yard
mark. a penalty, however, brought
the plgSkin back to the 22-yard mark
ac the first period ended with neither
team able to score.
The Maroon and Gray linemen
made it comparatively easy for Kess-
Ter, Wondrack, Parsons and Jones to
advance in the second quarter. 1t
was kessler who scored the first
touchdown as he he dashed past Cen
trails left end for 10 yards. The Ma
room and Gray probably would have
scored earlier in the second quarter
had Lotus not recovered Tech
tumble on the Blue and Whites 20
yard line.
Tech launched another drive early
in the second half, but it was halted
after a 15-yard penalty. A poor
punt by Kessler gave Central the
bail on it's 35-yard line. At this
VI tHt game IL was little BODpy
Pugh. the last of the House of
Pugh" at Tech, who figured in a Ma
room and Gray tally. He broke
through the Central line, blocking
Gordons kick, which was recovered
by Jones on the Blue and White
7-yard line. Wondrack took the oval
across.
Central entered the fourth period
determined to score. Wilmer received
d pass from Gordon, good for Is
yards to midfield. Then Gordon skirt
ed left end for another first st-down
but 15-yard penalty. crushed the
Blue and Whites march, as another
pass, Gordon to Byng, was a few
yards shy of first-down. Kessler
then kicked to mdfield
1t was quite an achievement for
Hap Hardell to develop such a Tech
team, which completely outplayed
Central yesterday. He began practice
with only one veteran in the squad.
