SchooIboy Grid Season. About
Over, RepIete With Unusual
And Exciting Incidents

Looking at some individual per-
formances, Eddie Dove of Bulls
made probably the longest touch
down dash from scrimmage when
he went 70 yards against Dewitt.
John Boteler of Landon made a
67-yard scoring run against st. An
drew's, Steve Heiser of st. Adams
ran 60 yards for a touchdown
against Georgetown Prep and Eek
rich of the Little Hoyas scored on
a 55-yard gallop against Landon.
Longest dash from scrimmage for
a score in the high school series
was that of Walsh for Tech against
Anacostia. The play covered IS
yards. Other good ones were Bob
Notes 44-yarder for Anacostia
against Wilson and Harry Martins
dash of "a for Central against
Western.
Several times kickoffs were run
back for touchdowns. Bill Dellas-
tatious of Tech did it against Epis-
copal, returning IS yards. and Epis-
copals George Neff returned the
oval 80 yards to score against Vir-
ginia Episcopal Hills Hume of
Bulls turned the trick against
American U. Freshmen with a rs
yard gallop.
A number of long passes were good
for touchdowns, probably the long
est being one Bud Eckrich COM
pleted to Mike Tobin for 70 yards
and the touchdown that gave
Georgetown Prep its victory over
Wilson. Eddie league completed
one to Herbie Adams for Eastern
against Anacostia that was just /
yard shorter, and Hume to Pat Ben
net was good for 67-yard touch
down for Bulls over Dewitt. An
other long one in the school series
was the 62-yard play that Nolte
made with Dick Faircloth of Ana
costa for the Indians only score
against Western, and that play, in
cldentally, was a sleeper.
Lateral Gains 80 Yards.
Longest touchdown run of the
season on a lateral was a 90-yarder
worked by Bennett and Hume of
Bulls against Blackstone Military.
The longest run with an inter-
cepted pass was 80 yards for Hand
ley against Anacostia. Dewitt was
victim of a similar play when Lock-
hart of Mercersburg gathered in
George McGowan's heave and
scampered 80 yards. Both of those
plays were on foreign soil and I'M
witnessed by local fans. On the
longest play locally Harry Martin
of Central ran an interrogation back
80 yards against Gonzaga. 1t was
Raba's heave he pulled in.
The schoolboys scored on Just
about every play in the book, not
excluding touchdownS after blocked
kicks. Bill Dellastatious of Tech
blocked one against Anacostia and
ran IS yards with the ball to score.
Clifford Hack of Wilson did the
same against Roosevelt, prancing 80
yards.
Field goals were kicked by Ernie
Morrisette of Tech against Eastern
and Western.

Fine Portland Offer
Lures Witt Back
To Pilot Post
Manager Thut Cleveland
Fired Says He'll Make
Coast Club Winner
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 25.-Oscar
Wit, released as manager of the
Cleveland Indians, is back on the
baseball warpath again, this time
as pilot of the Portland club in the
Pacific Coast League.
Club President E. ]. Schefter an
nounced last night that the man
who piloted Cleveland to second
place in the American League last
year and then was fired had signed
a 1-year contract shortly after ar
irving here from his Oakland, Calf =,
home.
Salary terms were not announced,
but Witt said he was well satisfied :"
There was talk the contract called
for around $4,000.
81 had to take back my retirement
talk after Mr.. Schefter made me a
proposition I couldn't refuse" he
said. II always have liked to win,
and still do, and with the tie-up 7
advised. we will get the players to
make the Beavers winners"
Witt went to Cleveland from the
New York Yankees Newark farm
club in 1888. In his three years as
manager Cleveland finished third
twice and second once. While the
Indians were in the thick of the
pennant race this year, several
players revolted against him.
The players presented a petition
to the club owners protesting Wits
actions on the bench and in public
They charged that he made them
"jittery" and that. he unfairly up
braided them in public.

A few odds and ends remain to be
cleaned up, but for most scholastic
football players and fans the 1910
season is history. Western still has
well-earned trip to Atlantic City
Gonzaga and Westinghouse will
play benefit game next month and
Dewitt meets Fairfax on Thursday
but otherwise one of the Schoolboys
most thrilling seasons is ended.
1t was a season that struck most
of the high and low notes of grid
iron excitement as not week passed
without supplying its share of
frenzied moments and good playing
A total of lot games were played
by local and nearby teams with the
climax coming last week when an
underdog Western eleven smote Tech
to retain its high school champion
ship by downing team which previ-
ously had defeated it in regular
series play
Hero of that clash was Jake
Hilleary of Western as, with his
running and passing, he earned a
place with other high school stand
outs of the Season-Harry Martin
of Central, Bud Eckrich of George
town Prep, Rus Arnaud of Wash
ington-Lee, Elmer Raba of Gonzaga
and Jackie Walsh of Tech, to men,
ton only a few.
st. Adams Percentage Best.
1t remained for st. Adams, how
ever, to turn in the best team record
of the year. The Saints lost their
opener and then went on to win six
straight games for a season per-
centage of 857, highest average
sports by any school team in this
area. That six straight also is the
longest winning streak of the sea-
son. Only Washington Lee also
was able to win six this year and
two defeats were inserted in the
middle of the General victories.
In the percentages of wins and
defeats are some interesting items.
Episcopal of Alexandria had its
worst season with eight defeats for
a 900 figure and won the dubious
distinction of having the longest
local losing string. Eastern, with
five wins and two losses for TAI, had
the best public high record in Wash
ington, but it failed to win the right
games. Westerns championship
eleven won only four of eight games
and tied one for a mark of 1868 to
put it fourth on the public school
list, but every one of its victories
was important and timely.
There were several upsets, not the
least of which was Westerns win
over Tech in the championship
game. 1t was the first time since
1916 that the Raiders had downed
the Maroon and it came at an OPP
perfume moment. And speaking of
victories after many losses, there's
Roosevelt's win over Central, the first
since 1915, that also will go down as
one of the years upsets. Wilson's
tie with Central and its win over
Roosevelt fell into the same class.
Riders, Gonzaga in Track Meet.
Roosevelt also participated in the
highest scoring game of the season,
losing to Gonzaga, 32-39. The big
gest margin was made by Bulls. as
it defeated Dewitt last week, 48-0.

team that can hold Boston Col

on the ball, and if you don't be-

5Unbeafen, United
In Grid Offense
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The only
perfect football record of the 1910
season was spoiled yesterday by the
combination of mud and determined
opposition as st. Ambrose College of
Davenport, Iowa, was held to score
less tie by it's neighborhood rival,
Loras of Dubuque. Otherwise the
undefeated and united teams came
through the past week in good shape.
Up to yesterday, st. Ambrose had
won eight straight games and had
held it's opponents scoreless.
Fifteen other teams came through
the week without a defeat or a tie to
mar their records. Of these, four
had completed their regular seasons
previously and only three others
Texas A. and NJ, Stanford and Pa
cific Lutheran-didn't have games
scheduled during the past week.
The mighty Boston College Eagles
still head the group of five which
have won nine games each. Boston
College has run up 313 points to So
for its opponents. Defensive honors
go to a pair. of teachers colleges,
Springfield, Mo, which has allowed
IA points in nine games, and La
Crosse, Wis, which had allowed
8 in six games.
