Dozen Rules Are Simple,
But Strictly Up to Dote.

What do you know about football?"
asked the lieutenant.
Plenty"
He says he knows plenty about foot
ball." said the lieutenant. That's
mighty interesting"
But it amt got nothing to do with
the case," said the sergeant, so
will just hit him again."
And he did.
On emerging from pokey seven years
later formulated my II rules for
watching football intelligently, with
the brain as well Is the heart, lungs
and gizsard. These rules are simple and
straightforward but strictly up to
date. You probably are figuring on
seeing 1T least two or three football
games In the next couple OF months.
Proceed as follows, leaving no finger
prints:
l. Select your seat carefully. Most
people tight for seat on the 5o-yard
line. but that's no place to watch =
game from. You catch the action in
the middle. but not at the ends of the
field, where most Of the dirty work
goes on. My tip is buy up the seats in
one row-say, row W-from goal line
to goal line. BY following the ball
up and down the field. you do not
miss trick. A modest outlay Of 1920,
not including box lunch, should cover
expenses.

|FLAHERT'Y PRAISES
GONzAGA, CENTRAL
Says TackIing in Tie Tilt
Was Superior to That in
Some Pro Games.
BY RAY FLAHERTY,

Coach. Champion Warrington Redskins
I went to my first high school game
In Washington yesterday and saw
Central and oonsaSa battle to = s-s
tie. And II the brand Of foot ball
displayed by these two teams is typical,
I'd say that local high school foot ball
compares favorably with that played
in any other section Of the country.
I've seen better games than that one
yesterday at Central Stadium, but, on
the other hand. I've seen lot worse.
The thing that impressed me most
was the hard and clean tackling. In
fact, the tackling in that game was
better than in some college and pro-
fessional games I've seen.
Both Gonzaga and Central showed
that they were well-coached teams,
with . good knowledge Of their plays.
Although I understand the Central
Gonzaga rivalry is traditional, both
squads seemed to have an unusual
amount Of life and fre. The Con-
zaga line slightly outcharged Gen.
trails, especially on its touchdown
drive. but Central's was not far be-
hind in its march.
OF the Central players, Benny
Steiner. Jimmy Porter and Harvey
Doughty stood out in my mind.
Steiner hit the line hard and ran
well, once getting away for about
80 yards. Porter helped Central q
lot on returning kicks and Doughty
played . consistently nice game n
center throughout.
Bill Gardiner Of Gonzaga is one
Of the best high school passers I've
seen in . long time. His throws were
accurate and he got the ball away
in fine style. His touchdown pass
was q pretty one to watch, long and
straight Is An ARROW. Eddie Shea,
Gonsaga's quarterback. also looked
good and directed his team we'll. Pat
ton. the right end. made some great
tackles for Gonsaga.

Central's Prospects in Grid
Title Series Are Frightened
By 6-6 Contest With CO1zaga

Having held its own against . capa-
bic 0onAsa eleven, Central High
Schools football team will enter the
interhieh championship series next
Tuesday against Western with fair
prospects Of finishing up among the
leaders.
The team is made up mostly Of new
players and reserves from the eleven
which last year finished second, and
Coach Hardy Pearce admits that the
play still is ragged. The pass defense
particularly must be tightened-Gon
zaga completed no less than 10 heaves
for good gains yesterday-and that is
one department Pearce Is going to
stress In practice sessions between now
and Tuesday. He also will aim to
strengthen both the offensive and de-
fensive play Of the line.
Shows Two Clever Backs.
In playing to q 6-to-6 score against
Gonzaga yesterday Central showed q
couple Of backfield aces that figure
to loom large in the schools football
program this season. Benny Steiner,
quarterback, and James Porter, full
back. carried the brunt Of the attack,
aided somwhat by Dick Rozelle and
Tony Di Blasi. Steiner also displayed q
potent toe, and his boots Of IS and 20
yards helped keep Gonzaga out Of
scoring territory
It WAS on the first NAV If the sac-
ond quarter that Di Blasi tossed a
nat pass to Steiner from Gonzaga's s
35-yard stripe, and Steiner raced down
the sideline to score Porter was the
plunging back, several times ripping
OF the necessary and s yards for
first downs. He accounted for the
longest run Of the day when he
galloped back with . Gonzaga kick
from his own 40 to the opposing rs.
Gonzaga's six points came in the
third period when Gardiner tossed a
beautiful 35-yard pass to Ralph Pat
ton, end, on Centrars 5-yard line, and
Patton carried two would-be tacklers
across.
Except for . few minutes in the
last period, Gonzaga's line outrushed
Central's, although Jimmy Clark, left
end for the Mount Peasants, more
than held his own In his position.

According to Show President e. M.

prevented its scheduled meeting this

Originally set for September 10, 1t
was learned that this date had been
taken by the Columbus show, at Mead
owbrook. Following 4 meeting of the
committee, 1t was decided to hold the
show September II. At the same time.
however, the Columbus show also was
changed to that date. Finding It
impossible to obtain q suitable date
the committee then decided to forego
plans, at least for this fall. Plans will
be made to continue the show next
spring.

tious scale, and in no way connected
