Business eleven yesterday alb
Sorbed another decisive drubblng
in the public high school cham
pionShip foot ball series, when it
bowed to Eastern, 0 to As. 1t was
the third series game in as many
starts to be lost by the Stenogs,
who have been unable to score a
single point, while their opponents
have been amassing total of 118.
1t also was the most decisive win
scored so far in the series. The
victory made EaStern's record in
the title set two wins against one
defeat, and put the Lincoln Park
erS in the runner-up position to
Tech in the flag race.
Despite that they waged the charac-
teristic plucky fight the <Stenogs were
outclaSSed from the start and the. ball
was in their territory virtually all the
way.
Eastern scored two touchdowns in
each in the second and third quar-
tiers and in final period gained two
points on a safety and its final touch
down.
AS soon as it became apparent that
the Lincoln Parkers would be able to
win about as they pleased, Coach Mike
Kelley began inserting substitutes, but
the Eastern lead continued to mount.
Business presented a lineup strength
ened by the addition of several sturdy
players who have heretofore been in
eligible, but the light and compare
lively inexperienced Stenogs were SIM
ply no match for their husky seasoned
opponents.
hoodnd left halfhaRk the RiQ
Bertha on the Eastern offense. He
scored four touchdowns, all in the first
half. He probably would have counted
more had he not been taken out of
catch his breath and to give some of
the other wearers Of the Light Blue
and White a chance to work out. One
of McCullough's touchdowns came when
he streaked around left end for so
yards, two more when he shared passes
flung unerringly by Everett Oxley and
dashed across the goal line and the
other when he broke through the BuSt- |
ness line from the 6-yard mark.
Show Lots Of Speed.
Mccullough, however, was not the
only Eastern back who showed speed.
Coach Kelley, who also is the track
tutor at Eastern, must have been
pleased to see Ralph Shackelford and
hCIll1y S1OW 6t1Cdh away gam d4OCA
gain. He could not help but think of
them in connection with the next an
nual Spring championship meet when |
Eastern win be out to defend its cinder- |
path crown won last year for the f1rst |
time in the annals of the school.
Everett Oxley and Jimmy Hayden |
were other stand-outs on the Eastern |
attack. Both gained much ground and |
OXley, in addition to his clever running, |
did deal of fine passing. The whole |
Eastern line gave fine defensive ex- |
hibition, the Stenogs only once getting |
anywhere near the Lincoln ParkerS |
goal. That was in the second period |
when Bill Duryee, got of on 12-yard |
end sweep that put the ball on the |
penalty handed Eastern for rough play. |
Eastern promptly checked the Stenogs |
and shortly afterward Mccullough |
broke loose on his 50-yard touchdown
producing drive.
Duryee Stands Alone.
Duryee was the most consistent Busi-
ness player and the only back who was
able to advance appreciably against the
Lincoln Parkers. Alb Shapiro, Business
center, perhaps was the Stenogs' best
defensive player, making several nifty
tackles.
After Hayden Of the Light Blue and
White had kicked of to Duryee to start \
the game Business soon found 1t could
not gain and punted. The Stenogs also
checked Kelley's boys, however, and
Eastern also was forced to punt. Short
ly afterward the Eastern attack began
functioning effectively and the Lincoln
Parkers struck out for the Stenog goal,
moving steadily down the field until
Oxley tipped a 20-yard pass to NC
Cullough who raced Is yards more TO
score Eastern's first touchdown.
From then on it was merely matter
of what the size of the score would be.
