Techs. victory in the public high

second in as many years, was q sur
prise. The Mckinley team confounded
the critics by drubbing Eastern, the pre-
series favorite, IA to 2. in the opening
game Of the set. Central, which was
beaten only to IL by Tech, its dearest
foe, in red-hot battle, finished second
with three wins against one defeat
Eastern was third with two victories and
two losses. Western was fourth with
one victory and three defeats, and Bush
ness was last, losing all four Of its en-
gagements. Willis Benner, Tech end
and captain, doubtless was the most
polished player in the series, though
there were several other fine per-
formers.
Following tise series Tech suffered
Its only losses Of the season, bowling to
Staunton Military Academy at Staun-
ton, Va, and Stamford, Conn, High at
Stamford.

Goss, Tech, left halfback; Pinckney,
Central, right halfback, and Draper,
Western, fullback.
Dewitt, Gonzaga, Emerson, st. Johns
and Georgetown Prep all were uniform
ly strong on the gridiron. Devitt's rec
ord was particularly impressive. 1t lost
just one game. Its 1916 win over Con-
zaga In the annual battle between these
old foes was the high spot of its rec
ord. GonEaga lost only two genes.
Emerson had q colorful and, on the
whole, q creditable season. 1t was host
to Baylor School Of Chattanooga, Tenn,
here late in the season and turned back
the crack Dixie schoolboys, Is to Z.
st. Johns and Georgetown Prep did
unusually well, while Landon a new
school; woodward and st. Adams had
teams which showed plenty OF fight II
they did not have q deal Of success.
