Winning football championships
has become common event for
teams representing Tech High
School during the past few years.
Just the same the collection Of
youngsters wearing the familiar
Tech gray" Of this season are to
be congratulated today following
the winning Of fifth consecutive
title, yesterday out at Central
Stadium in a game against Cen
trail High-rivalS Of rivals.
The score Of Techs triumph in
this instance was only 13 to 0,
bat 1t was enough to let Central
know as well as all other oppo-
nents met this year that the team
under Coach Hap HardellS direc-
ton is still the best, the most
courageous and the smartest in
scholastic ranks.
From end to end and backfield
man to backfield man, Tech was
the superior combination yester.
day and showed it in every way,
even though there are many who
think that Coach Hardell'S men
should have won by a much
larger margin.
Central Improved
Central, on the other hand, put
up most improved brand of play
over its previous appearances in
the series, but it was not quite
good enough to stop the Manual
Trainers. who were after victory If
ever a team was.
The game began as If things
were going to be a rout for Tech.
Gaining the ball from the kickoff,
the Manual Trainers proceeded to
march straight down the field un-
til the 7-yard line was reached.
But here a tumble by Apperti,
halfback, gave Central the ball,
from where Capt. Hank GibbinS
punted out of danger.
Tech, however. showed Central
That it was not to be denied in
the little matter of scoring. Gain
ing the ball again on the 25-ya-d
stripe as a result Of an exchange
OF puntS, the Manual Trainers
drove again down the field until
they were rewarded with touch
down-their first Of the game. A
pass, Brinkman to Meiklejohn,
netting 10 yards brought about
the score while Gormley's kick
from placement added the extra
point.
Tech Counts Again
1t was not until the third
quarter that Hardells boys
counted again. In the meantime
play was in Central's territory
throughout with Central trying
desperately to gain a break by an
exchange Of puntS or via TIE
aerial route. While this was go
ing on a Blue and White tumble
inserted itself into the picture
and this was the cue for Tech to
begin another drive for what
turned out to be Hardell's Boys
second and final marker for the
day. A pass from Brinkman to
Gormley netted Is yards and
placed the ball on the 9-yard line,
from which point Gormley
crashed through for a touchdown.
His kick failed for the extra
point.
One other thing should be said
about Techs victory and fifth
straight championship, lest it be
forgotten. It is to hail Coach
Hap Hardell for doing it again.
Yes, sir, Hap has done it again
and for another year is the dean
Of the coaches in high school
ranks for putting over and direct
ing another champion Tech team.
YOU just can't keep this little
fellow down, that's all.
Eastern, Western Tomorrow
And to thinks he'll come up
with another R1ong, Sorrowful-
looking face about poor football
prospects at Tech next year.
Tommyrot.
Eastern and Western meet to-
morrow, same place, same time
Central Stadium, $3.50 o'clock
to battle for the runners-up po-
Sition in the series. This berth
Is all that is left to the series
now, thanks to Tech.
