Eastern Emerson Eeuens Hold Scholastic Spotlight Games
7 Team s OFF
To UNUSUAL
OPENING

~ @bwmBw~
There we're two scholastic foot
ball games yesterday, opening the
season, and it could be said right
here and now, that seldom be-
fore has there been an opening
as unusual.
To start with. Central and Con-
zaga worked, and literally they
worked, under a boiling hot sun
at the Central Stadium in game
which went to Central, IL to 0,
while to finish out the day, or
maybe it had better be night, the
Tech High School eleven went
down to defeat in night game
at Baltimore, to 0, before the
Baltimore Poly team.
All of our dancing daughters,
brothers and sisters enjoyed the
opening, however, despite the
heat, and the two games we're
played before banner crowds,
some 1850 being seated at the
Central Stadium and an approx.
mate count of 5000 being comfort
ably accommodated at the speci.
Gus Homewood Field above the
campus of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, Baltimore.
Lest we forget, two more
games are on the schedule
for today. Coach Mike Kel-
Iey's Eastern High entry
plays at Alexandria against
Episcopal, while Athletic Di-
rector SanbOrn's E m ersOn
eleven meets WOodberry For
est at Orange. Va.
Coach Ty Rauber's Central
eleven did what was expected
against Gonzaga. 1t won. But
the smaller Purple gridmen put
up a gallant fight and had Cen
trail on the run for a great deal
of the time.
Penalties hurt the Mount Pleas
anters and aided the Eye Street
ers in the latter's favor, now
ever. On the first play of the
game, Central was penalized IS
yards for illegal use of hands
and this event enabled Gonzaga,
by stubborn defense, to hold
Central in its own territory
throughout the greater part OF
the first quarter. -..>.
Coach Tvs men got away
later, however, when Gene Colella
uncorked a eautiful 25-yard
heave which Hinkle caught and
ran to Gonzaga's 4-yard line.
Capt. Larry Pinckney plunged
over for the touchdown, this on
the first play of the second
quarter, as Colella's heave came
just before the close of the first
period.
This Hinkel person was re.
Sponsible for Central's other
touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Roaming around trying to block
Purple wingman from catch
ing a pass thrown by Capt. Dan
Dunan. he grabbed the pigskin
coming right at him and ran an
easy Is yards for the marker,
Dunan, by the way. was
GonZaga'S outstanding player.
In fact the StandOut per.
former of the game because
of his gallant efforts for the
losing GOnzaga cause. He did
the bulk of the ball carrying,
handled the punting and
otherwise kept his teammates
on their toes throughout.
Techs night game at Baltimore
was heart-breaker to lose.
That's the best that could be
said of it, for despite the fact
that Coach Hap Hardell nearly
lost his voice telling his players
their mistakes, the Manual Train
ers put UP good, if not thrilling
fight in their debut.
They made mistakes. There
was no getting away from that
fact, but Coach Hap's cohorts
looked much the better team
from all angles than the Poly
and it was a shame that they
did not win.
The famous passing attack ran
IA!sS around anything Baltimore
Poly had to offer, but it was a
missed tackle on a short pass
which the Marylanders inserted
That cost Tech the game.
Mclean, Poly halfback,
went over for a score when
he caught GrOhmal's heave
and eluded Techs lineSmen.
He kicked the goal for the
extra point.
In regards to the inncva ton
OF the night game, both teams
liked it. Neither was bothered
by the floodlights and stated
they wanted more games of the
same nature.
