From the first four minutes OF
play in the twenty-third annual
renewal of the Tech-C Central foot
ball classic, it looked like Tech.
After the first quarter it looked
like Tech, after the half, the
third quarter and, naturally, the
closing quarter it looked the same
way.
It was Tech, and the final
score of 18 to 0 made it all the
more apparent.
Tech beat Central, folks, and
some 5000 persons crammed into
every nook and corner OF the
Central Stadium saw 1t done in
little different manner than
usual.
There were no electritying
aerial heaves characteristic Of the
Blue and Gray attack. There
were no clever end runs Of the
famous Florence-Fo Fountain tyre IN
the days Of 1928.
There was just straight
football, that's all, with most
every Tech play being Of the
spinner type through the
Central line.
It worked. And it might be
said that Hardell pulled another
bit of master.minding in playing
the way he did, as everybody
expected his team to win by the
overhead route, if they were tt
win at all.
Central was taken off its feet
in the first quarter before the
game had gotten well under way
Hatos, then Sachs, then Sachs
again and finally Gormley, carried
the ball to a touchdown in the
first four minutes of play without
the aid of a single forward pass
It was odd. Was Hardel1 going
to make his men keep up that
kind of attack throughout? Did
he figure the spinner plays would
work at every attempt? He fig
ured they would. They did and
Tech, by using them at every
turn walked off the field the vic
tor.
Central braced. It fought
back. 1t threatened trouble
when it had possession Of the
ball. But it couldn't keep
the oval long enough. Quar-
terback Cumberland was con-
tinualIy forced to call upon
left-end Gus Mirman to punt
out of danger. Later he de-
pended upon Larry Pinckney.
Central held Tech scorelesS
throughout the second quarter
It did it not without costs, how
ever, as Paul Hinkle, star back
field man, was burt midway in
the period. Hinkel was fellec
| after receiving q pass from
Pinckney which netted 80 yards
He got up hurt but continued tc
play.
Just before the half, he was
felled again, after making nice
gain of nine yards through the
line. He was too hurt to rise
Colella took his place and the in
jured lad was found to have
played through the greater part
of the second quarter with 9
broken collar bone. A great exht
bition of gameneSS. to say th'
least!
But, to get back to the game
Central was forced to go on the
defensive after the half. It coulc
not hold up its end. Tech scored
again, still using the spinner type
plays. Sachs went over from thu
9-yard line, Gormley missing the
try for the extra point.
Finally came the fourth
quarter. Central, still fight
ing, was forced to retreat
under the now powerful Tech
attack. Reichman scored
after plays at the line
brought the ball into excel
lent pOSltlOn. GOEm46y AGAIN
missed the kick for the extra
point.
It was all over. The 5000 per
sons pushed their way out. Tech
won, Central lost and there was
nothing that could be done
about it. Thai n not until next
year at the earh st.
The game was Interesting
however. And made so much
more in view Of Techs per
! formance. Technically, it gave
the Manual Trainers the edge i'll
the series of games over the
span of % years. 1t made Tech
once more the favorite to cor
this seasons title It made Tech
a new, different sort Of team
Folks, It looks like Tech.
