Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-11-06

Western defeat was the death blow TO
any pennant aspirations that Dan
Ahern's proteges might have had: In
previous games they defeated Business,
| but lost to Eastern.
Western, bolstered by group Of stall
warts who have just become eligible
enthusiastically, waged a stout fight, but
the Tech team proved too alert and
smart for the West End boys. Western
was never really dangerous.
Tech Scores Quickly.
Tech scored its first touchdown as
the result of a straight march down the
| field from the opening kickoff, and
showed the other across in the final
period following another vicious attack,
launched in midfe1d.
Aside from Yznaga and Nelson, Capt.
fullback; AL Reichman, halfback, and
others played strongly for Tech, while
Ray Willard and Jimmy Draper, backs,
despite their crippled condition; Capt.
Quincy Owens, center, and Fletcher,
end, showed well for the Red and White.
Tech lost little time in getting the
| range Of the enemy goal. Capt. Benner
ran the Western kickoff that opened
the game back 80 yards, and then with
line for small but consistent gains the
Mckinley boys surged steadily toward
the Western goal line until they finally
achieved the 1-yard mark, where Yznaga
| crashed through to the first Mckinley
| touchdown. Both teams were ruled off,
side when Benner essayed placement
for the extra point, and then Benner
planted the ball between the posts to
give his team TO lead.
In the second quarter Western got its
attack functioning in high for a time
with Willard running back a punt by
Nelson for 10 yards and then adding
Is yards on dash around left end.
Then Tech checked the Westerners and
Draper punted poorly. Play was inde-
cisive from that point until near the
end OF the period, when Western again
exhibited bit of power on attack, with
Draper and Willard gaining considerable
yardage. The half ended with the BAH

Westerners Brace.
! Neither eleven was able to get very
lar during the early stages of the third
quarter though Yznaga for Tech and
Draper for Western accounted for some
| yaroage. Nelson's admirers were sur.
pr1sed to see him tumble a Western
punt on that teams 40-yard line about
midway of the period, but that same
youngster redeemed himself shortly
aiterward when he intercepted an
alien pass IN midfield that Signalized
the start of another Tech scoring
gesture. At this point the Mckinley
eleven took the air seriously for the
| frSt time during the afternoon. Nell
SON tipped beautiful pass to Benner
which melted is yards and then shot
! another to GoSS that accounted for
more. However, after Goss had
| added three yards, Yznaga fumbled
on the Western 18-yard line and Willard
recovered for Western, which contrived
to work the ball out of danger.
In the fourth period, Tech got
Western in hole when the Maroon
and Gray blocked an enemy punt on
the Western l0-yard strip. Tech
though, after alternately trying to adj
vance the ball by runs and passes saw
another scoring chance go by the
boards when one of its heaves passed
over the GeorgetownerS' end zone, and
the ball was given to Western on the
20-yard line.
But Tech was hot after another
touchdown, and soon started the drive
from midneld that proouced it. With
Nelson getting of a successful pass to
GoSs that brought yards the attack
was on. Nelson added yards more
at the line, after which GoSs hit the
waVering Western defense for another
4 yards. Then All Reichman, who had
been sent IN to replace the injured
Yznaga, streaked around left end 10
more, and GoSs followed it right I'D
with line plunge that netted s. This
brought the ball to the Western 4-yard
went over right tackle to Techs second
touchdown. Benner's placement for
point again was accurate.
