S 7 A R S IN TIE.
BY PAUL BEACH

Ralph Patton was the one dis
turbing factor in yesterdays grid
iron battle between Central and
Gonzaga at the Mt. Pleasanters'
stadium. For Patton, brilliant
Purple end, was too outstanding
to fit in with the picture Of two
teams that were on even terms in
practically every other phase Of
the tilt.
The kicking was about even, the
yardage gained by rushing was
very close and, to top it all off, the
score ended in q 6-to-6 deadlock.
The Eye Streeters' wingman,
however, played consistently fine
ball, broke through on Two con-
secutive plays to smear Coach
Hardy Pearce's charges for heavy
losses and climaxed his Gays per
formance by catching the pass
that gave his team a tie.
The Centralites scored on the
first play of the second quarter,
when Tony Di Blasi hurled a Is
yard aerial to Benny Steiner, who
completed the remaining 20 yards
for a tally. Steiner'S attempt to
convert was wide.
Fighting back to overcome the
disadvantage, Johnny Stanley,
Gonzaga center, intercepted pass
by Steiner and ran to the Central
35. From there Gardiner tossed
a long pass to Patton, who only
had three short yards to go for
the goal. Going's placement was
wide.
Benny Steiner and Dick Rozzelle
were the Central aces in the back
field, while Dick Farr, Jimmy
clark and Harry Doughty were
towers Of strength in the forward
wall.

'Whizzer' Lone Buccdneer
Pirates Stall When White Carries BQ
BY GENE WARD

The super back Of '3T-whoSe

Rather like cutting off your

history. He signed with the
definite understanding he would
leave for oxford at the finish of
the campaign. There was no
possibility of a build-up for '39
and to those among the players
who don't know what o 100 per
