BIG SCHOOL CLASH

Contest Also viii Give One
of Them Edge in Wins In

BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR.

This Central-Tech foot ball,
battle Tuesday. not only
i has everybody buzzin', but
talking right out loud. II

Tech is given a slight edge.
Central-Tech games ever are
glamorous affairs, the big annual
battle-in fact. Of the District
schoolboy foot ball season, but
Tuesdays encounter will pack
even more kick than usual, as 1t
likely will decide the champion
ship. Tech, defending title holder,
has won It's only start so far,
trampling down Business, 80 to o.
Central also has captured its lone
start.
Tech Is expected to make no radical
changes in It's lineup. but Prank
has been on the sidelines with q bad
ankle, likely will be back at his post
for Central.
VIII Decide Title.
Not only will the encounter between
the Blue and Gray likely decide the
championship but, unless the game
ends In tie, 1t also will decide the
supremacy between the elevens in the
matter Of games won and lost over q
stretch of % years or since 1902, when
Tech and Central began their yearly
conflicts. Each team has won IL
games so far. titles have resulted
in ties. In 1918 there was no contest
because of the influenza epidemic.
While the teams have battled on an
even basis as to games won and lost,
Tech has outscored Central over the
years, 232 points to 1919.
Central won the first game between
the teams in 1902, 23 to 8. The follow
ing year, however, Tech came back to
triumph 10 to o. While for the most
part, the battles between the Blue and
the Gray have been close. there have
been games which have been decided by
large scores.
Some Wide Margins.
For instance, In 1917 Central was q
$50 victor, while in 1928 Tech was q
4S-0 winner. Several other matches
also were decided by substantial mar
gins.

Editorial Comment
An Ungrateful Child
(St. Paul Disnatch)

Back to seek the aid of his political child, the Non
partisan League, A. C.. Townley may now sing with
Shakespeare:
"Oh, Winter Wind, thou art not 50 unkind:
Thy breath is not 50 rude as mans ingratitudel"
The personal magnetism Of this political adventurer
led into the folds Of his Nonpartisan League Thousands
Of the dissatisfied farmers of North Dakota, out Of
whom he welded . political power with which he elevated
prairie states. over the futile protests Of the regular
leadership. His was the role Of q king maker. Gov
ernors and senators and congressman rose from Dakota
farms under the magic Of his political genius.
But for Townley those days are gone forever, appar-
emily. for now the sceptre has fallen from his hand. The
voice that once commanded now contends unsuccessfully.
Tor the support Of the league In q campaign for congress.
The Townley OF q decade ago would hardly have con-
cerned himself with the dispensation Of such minor DO
can not even secure Endorsement for such q nomination
for himself.
Townley has fallen . prey to the most common Of the
sins Of the children"
