TECH RETAINS
FOOTBALL !
TITLE 3.
By GARRETT WATERS

Dy OfAAA6AG \ WAAGN0
Another one of those interest
ing years marked local schoolboy
athletic competition in 1889. In
every major sport, naming base
ball. basketball and football, there
transpired that certain spark
which kept all concerned on
their toes and up to the brim
with excitement every moment.
Taking basketball first, the
usual torrid floor season passed
the boards with Eastern High,
coached by Chief (By Golly)
Guyon, finally annexing the
championship. Tech. the 1881
champion, finished second, Gen.
trail, third, and Business and
Western, fourth and fifth respec-
lively.
This particular series marked
the first won by an Eastern Five
after about three seasons of
knocking on the door to success.
Bernie Lieb. lanky center, was
honored by berth on The Times
AllHigh team. Tony Latona, of
Western and Bill Burke, of Cen
tral, were awarded forward posts;
while Carroll Shore, Business and
Everett Russell, Tech got guard
positions.
Baseball Series TOrrid
The baseball series was quite
Q torrid affair with Western,
Eastern and Central finishing in
q three-cornered tie for first
place.
Wild Bill Payne, Of Western:
Dick Lanahan, Of Eastern, and
John De Bettencourt, Of Central,
were the standout pitchers. This
trio turned in several excellent
efforts and as a result many
low score games resulted instead
OF the wild orgies of in past
series.
Coach Hap Hardell and his
Tech High eleven dominated the
football series as has been the
case during the past four years.
In winning his fifth consecutive
championship, Hardell put on the
field another well drilled Tech
team which went through the
series without losing a single en-
gagelnent and scored on only by
Western.
TniS particular game was one
OF the best ever played in q high
school series. It was thrilling
from opening whistle to last and
even more so when an inspired
Western team outplayed Hardell'S
warriors in the first half and
left the field with a 6-to-O lead.
Western was unable to keep the
pace and Tech swept through the
Georgetowners for two touch
downs in the final half to win.
Six Techites HOnOred
The Times put six Tech play
ers on its All-High team, namely,
Howser, tackle; Baxter, center;
Gramlich, guard; Meiklejohn,
end; Brinkman, quarterback, and
Foley, halfback. Benjamin, of
Eastern, was given an end posi-
ton; Gibbins, of Central, a guard
post; Campbell. of Eastern,
tackle berth, and Joe Mills and
Joe Keegin, baekfield positions.
Brinkman and Foley were two
Of the best backfield men of the
series. The former was an eN
ceptional paSser while the latter
was punter of unusual merit.
Joe Mills was sensational half
back while Keegin, although he
played but two games for his
team, proved such an adept bali
carrier that it was impossible to
keep him from being honored.
Central, with the grand old Bill
Foley as coach, walked away with
track honors with plenty to spare,
having such stars at Thompson,
DeBettencourt, Naylor, Smith,
Ditzler, Price. st. Johns, Kocsis
and Gibbins in harness.
