The compiled statistics show 49,

attendance Of 1,SSS,027, which is
550,554 in excess of the attendance
in 1924. Axton attributes the in

Admiral Van Tirpitz told the

apropos a discussion then under

concluded the armistice.
''Since this idea VISA then only

heard during the season on the man

The coach 8 methods may differ
from those Of his critics, but even
the latter must admit that he gets
results, which after all is the pur-
pose Of the game. Central had

teams this year, and their victory
was not presented to them.

championships in row by luck and
Coach Armstrong has been on the
job every minute of the season.
OF course the work of Bill Peters
stands out most prominently in
resume of the season, not only be-
cause the big fullback is good
football player, but because it fell
to him to carry the ball most Of
the time for his team and Bills
mistakes were not very frequent.

However, his opportunities to shine
were the result OF the assistance
given him by his team mates.
Captains Good Work
In this respect Earl Willoughby
stands out like lighthouse at sea.
Not because he is captain Of the
team, but because he is in the game
every minute, trying to outguess
the plays Of the opposition, and al
ways willing to take advantage of
any opening, or to make one for
himself when the occasion arose.
Space does not permit mention
ing the good work Of each Of the
regulars but they are all entitled to
word Of commentator for their
efforts to bring the championship
to Central. The second string men
also showed up good when called
upon, and the outlook for n strong
team next year is unusually bright.

20-var1 line. The northerners were
held for two downs and then tried
q forward pass, which Shawn caught
for Central. He made several
yards before he was downed. Cen
trail was held for downs and punt
ed, Brawley making first down, but
was then held and punted. With
the ball in Central IS possession, Pet
ers got 25-yard run out just rs
the whistle blew for the end of the
period.
Central was held for downs at the
beginning of the last period and
punted. Brawley made first down
and then tried a couple of forward
passes which failed to work.
Brawley punted and Central was i'll
turn forced to punt when a l5-yard
penalty prevented them from max
ing first down. Peters intercepted a
Brawley forward pass and ran the
ball back 10 yards before he was
dumped. Brawley held the Central
attack, forcing a punt. Brawley
tried q forward pass that failed and
then pulled trick play, the quar-
terback stopping his signals to give
instructions to one of the back
field, while the ball vas passed to
another. Central got the play, how
ever, and made Brawley look fool
ish.
Fine Forward Passing
Brawley ripped off several fine
forward passes in the final minutes
of play. but they were too deep III
their own territory to do any dam
age.
One of the largest crowds that
ever witnessed Il Central game was
on hand for the occasion. Due TO
the flooded condition of the Central
football field, the game was played
on an adjoining field, which was
hastily turned into a gridiron yes
terday through the good work of
the student body and the faculty.
Central's championship was won
just as most of its games were won.
after getting off to q bad start III
the early part of the season, the
boys tightened their game on the
second trip around, and played good
football. The parallel is found in
the fact that Central usually loafed
OF played dumb during the first
half Of the games they won, only
10 come to life in the second half
and nose out the opposition.
At times the team played bril-
liantly and again their work caused
old football men to gnash their
teeth. The most noticeable quality
developed was gameness, the team
keeping at the job in hand whether
they played good or bad football.
