tack that they were one-two in
the matter of leading for scor.
ing honors in the series. Reich
man led his mate by some 20
points, but Sachs was close on
his heels.
DeLisio's case is most inter
esting. Here is player who
showed better than the much
more polished Pinckney, team
mate, because of his fight, dash
and ability to gain ground de-
spite a weak line in front Of
him. Pinckney was held back
because opposing lines laid
for him. DeLisio is selected
because, as an ultimatum,
he showed the best of any Cen
tral man as a whole. Hinkel
was good. but did not get in
enough games because of getting
injured while Colella and Cum
berland we're out most of the
time for the same reason.
One other thing that put
quite a spice into the series
was Techs diSplayal of a new
method Of attack. Always
before the user of a brilliant
and well drilled overhead
game. the Hardellmen crashed
through with a spinner type
play which was both battling
and effective.
Hardell had his men use it
until the Eastern game. Then
he shifted to a mixed attack. the
sweeping end run form. the over
head play and the center line

three failed to gain the ground
