Louis J. Rauber, now coach o.
haired boy we are raving about.
Rauber, "Ty" they call him now
alternated at quarterback anc
halfback for Central in those days
and those who attended the Schoo
at that time will tell you that he
was a sweet foot ball player. IN
der his leadership the Blue anC
White swept to the public high
school championship without it,
goal line being crossed by a.
enemy runner. Techs six point:
came on two field goals. In fact
just once during that season wa;
the Central goal line crossed. The
University of Maryland Freshmen
contrived to do it then.
Central students of 1922 will admit
perhaps, that Rauber was not the bes
high school foot ball player hereabout
in those days, though he was not fal

q great fighter and great leader.
Makes Good as Coach.
And that they knew whereof they
spoke was manifest few years later
when this fighting youngster became
widely known as a back at Washington
and Lee. Ty Rauber of Washington
and Lee in 1926 was a foot ball name
to conjure with. He battled his way tc
all-Southern recognition and honorable
mention for all-America elevens.
Last Fall Rauber was appointed
coach of the Central eleven. He was
not able to do a whole lot with the
squad then. It was a new job and he
did not get his bearings for some time
But it soon became apparent to follow
ers of schoolboy foot ball here that
Central had a coach determined and
able to inject a fighting spirit into
his charges and that sooner or later this
influence was certain to be felt.
This season Rauber hustled his grid
iron candidates down to Annapolis for
q couple of weeks preseason training.
In their first title series game they lost
It was not through lack of fight. It
was a great game, with neither team
having much on the other. After this,
Central walloped Business, 81 to 0, and
next Western, to O.. Rauber's pupils
were showing better form with each
game. Then yesterday they took a
really formidable Eastern eleven into
camp, Is to 6, to finish second in the
series to Tech, the champion.
Central Team Shines.
Rauber is convinced now that his
team has arrived, and he says he would
like nothing better than another crack
at Tech. Sportsman that he Is, he is
making no alibis for his recent defeat
at the hands of Hap Hardell's team, but
he does believe now that the Blue and
White could humble the Maroon and
Gray.
And admittedly the Central team was
impressive yesterday. 1t seemed that
Rauber had at last impressed upon his
boys the importance of fighting all the
way, Of playing the game with a door
die spirit. He knows by his experience
that only In that way can a team or an
individual player do his best. There is
no doubt that every Central player and
Central rooter knows it, too, now. Not
that Central teams have been Laying

been some time since Blue and White
eleven has performed with the fire and
dash that characterized the play OF the
team yesterday.
