Wilson, Winner Over Western
To Tackle Eastern for Title

It will be Wilson VS.. Eastern in the
interhigh football championship
game next Friday in Central Sta
dium.
Wilson clinched second place in
the standings and the right to meet
the defending champions when the
Green Tigers edged Western, 1912,
in Wilson Stadium yesterday In a
game twice postponed by rain.
The Tigers, defeated by Eastern,
800, in the early season, showed a
far different brand of play against
Western and don't figure to be the
pushovers they were in October
when the finale rolls around on Fri
day. Twice in the final quarter
yesterday, Wilson made brilliant
goal-line stands that saved the
game and the same effort against
Eastern might provide the scholastic
upset of the season.
In defeating Western, Wilson out
gunned the best quarterback on the
circuit, the Red Raiders nimble
little Don Lichty who has been a
ball of fire all year. 1t was Lichty
who set up the first Western touch
down yesterday with 35-yard pass
to Bob Glasgow in the second quar-
ter. Glasgow was brought down or
the 1-yard line and Bob Pritchard
bucked across. Don Moreland's at
tempted placement was wide.

celled at "bodying and throwing
.. even under circumstances

The loyal Palladium opined
that If play had been continued
for a couple of hours longer the
majority of the goals would have
been won by Yale" but a more
frank account in the Journal
Courier spilled the beans by re-
vealing that after Harvard had
"won" four goals another goal
was begun, but was not finished
on account of darkness"
The third goal was q pip, ac-
cording to the Journal Courier,
"and was distinguished by great
number Of falls on each side,
which afforded much amusement
to the spectators.
As New Haven newspapermen
saw it, Yale not only didn't know
the rules, but also was ignorant
of what the well-dressed football
player should wear.
The Register said:
The uniform worn by the
Harvard team was remarkably
pretty, and useful withal, as the
brilliancy Of Its color was such
that its wearers knew intuitively
almost where to throw the ball.
The Yale team, on the other
hand, were dressed 20 plainly.

FIashy Gonzaga Ends
Boys Town Winning
Streak in Upset
BY ANN CLINE.

Gonzaga's Pat O'Neill once ex-
planned his capable generalship of
his team with "You always can yin
q game If you want to badly
enough" That, apparently, was
the idea that sparked the entire
Purple Eagle eleven last night, for
it so outplayed the visiting Boys
Town aggregation that if field
conditions in Byrd Stadium at
Maryland had been normal Gonzaga
would have walked off with far
better than a 80 victory.
The Purple Eagles were rated
underdogs. Boys Town had won
II straight and only two teams had
registered more than seven points
against the Omaha club. O'Nein
was out with flu, so Boys Town
was a 4-touchdown favorite. But
Gonzaga had a 1875 1943 setback
to avenge and it had the spirit OF
O'Neill which brought the win that
surprised 5000 shivering fans.
After a scorelass first half replett
with fumbles of the pigskin made
slippery by the muddy field, Con.
zaga's Gil Buckingham, Billy d.
Chard, Phil, Daily and Johnny
OKeefe. backed up by the stellar
Purple line, put on an exhibition
that was mighty pleasing to the
street rooters. O'Keefe's alert
play accounted for the initial two
points. When Center Chester Oden
sent poor pass back to Frank Roe
who intended to kick out when Boys
Town took over on its 10, Roe fum-
bled and before he could regain his
footing O'Keefe was in on him ano
