BY GARRETT WATERS

Another 1nterhlgh Scnool series
grid game is on tap today. This
time it's between Central and
Western and game it's to be If
the Importance attached means
anything at all.
The two teams are tied for the
Tunners-up position in the current
race with two victories against
one loss each. The winner Of to-
days clash will clinch the next
to, best" honorS.
Central will go into the fray
without the services Of Nick Pts
tolls, capable guard. This lad Sus-
tanned an injury in the Business
game last week and has been abb
sent from practice ever since.
Nichols Will Sub
Bud Nichols will take Pistols
place, Coach Coggins intimated
this morning. The absence Of Pts
tolls is just another one Of the
many blows which have hit the
Central squad this season. Re
Gently 10 men were literally wiped
off the roll call of the team when
It was found that they had failed
In their STUDIES.
Pistols kASt work this year was
in the Tech garSe. Here, he threw
himself all over the Central line
to stop Tech from scoring when
the Manual Trainers were within
one yard Of the goal line. His
sensational play was easily the
outstanding bit Of the game.
Westerns usual heavy team
viii go into the game today. Ev-
erybody is in excellent shape, and
all are anxious to defeat Central
and defeat them badly in the
idea Of gaining the runners-up
position with a vengeance. The
contest should prove one of the
most interesting of the series
TO- date.
Tech Beats Eastern
Tech defeated Eastern, as usual,
yesterday, but not as completely
Is Coach Hardell would have liked
to have had it happen. The score
was 80 to 6. But this is just
where the hitch comes.
Teams under the great mentor
haven't been scored upon very
often in the last decade. Going
thus far in this years series, Har-
dell was hopeful that his present
team would go through it's games
without being scored upon once
more:
But the fates must have figured
It. otherwise. At any rate they
figured it pretty close. as Eastern
did not register until the final
five seconds Of play. It all hap
pened at the conclusion Of a sus-
tanned Lincoln Park drive which
began late in the fourth quarter
from midfield. An exchange of
punts, a couple of passes and runs
by Adams and Drake advanced
the ball to Techs 21-yard line.
Boyd to Courtney
Quarterback Bus Boyd dropped
back for a final thrust in an ef-
fort to score. He heaved in the
general direction of Courtney, his
left end, and after a tumble Of
players, found to his surprise
that Courtney had caught the ball
over the goal line and that his
team had scored. His own miss
in the try for the extra point mat
tered little because Of the salts
faction Of being a member of the
combination gaining a marker
against the strongest team the
high schools have known in years.
But for this instance the game
was devoid Of thrills. Tech SIM
ply coasted easily through the
proceedings, scoring at most any
time it felt like it. Eastern held
the Hardell men scoreless during
the first quarter, but from that
time on, it was nothing but Tech
touchdowns here and Tech touch
downs there with the Lincoln
Parkers bowling graciously before
a more experienced and powerful
foe. George Sachs starred for his
team in totaling up the markers
by registering two. Wohlfarth
counted one, while Gormley and
Oehmann chimed in with one
each. Jack Rhodes toe was in
pretty good fettle as he booted
over three extra points out of five
from placement.
