On CentraI-Tech Till
In High Series
By Bill Fuchs

Are the schedule makers for the
District public high school foot
ball series psychic? For the Sec
ond time in three seasons Tech
and Central will meet in the last
series game for each. And for the
second time In three years q title
hangs In the balance.
The arch rivals will square OF
November 10. deadlocked for the
lead In Division 2. The winner
of that contest will meet the Di-
vision / champion-probably Will
son-for the high school cham
pionship the night of November
Is at Griffith Stadium.
Last season no title hinged on
the Central-Tech game. And act
ing just as though they knew it
all the time, the Department of
Health and Physical Education
for the public schools had the two
teams meet in their first series
game of the season.
The season before, however,
when the league was not divided
into two divisions, Central and
Tech were scheduled in the finale
and, sure enough, their game de-
cided the title, Tech winning, 14-7.
Leathery's Kick Decides.
The Central-Tech rivalry goes
back a. years, a factor which
makes the November 10 game q
natural.
TITS going to make the real
championship game seem anti
climactic," said Central Coach Lou
Chacos.
Chacos had some nervous mo-
ments yesterday before his Vikings
came through with a rs verdict
over Eastern. A kick by Tackle
Lynn Ieathery made the differ
ence. Leathery. a sophomore, is
Central's extra-point specialist
and has made good with about
two-thirds of his attempted con-
versions.
Another Central player who
can take q bow is Ted Nucholls,
formerly defensive tackle
who played center yesterday. II
switched him on Tuesday" Chacos
said. II wanted more weight on
the line. shifted Bill Weaver, our
former center. to tackle. (Weaver
weighs 210, Nucholls 1907 I'm
happy to say Ted made out very
we'll"
Fumbles Prove Costly.
The first cold weather Of the
season made both teams come
down with fumble-itus and fum-
bles figured In both touchdowns.
Phil Hudson recovered Gen.
tral tumble on the Central 8 in
the third quarter. Two plays
later Danny Goodman fumbled
and Nucholls recovered for the
Vikings on the 5. The following
play Jerry Murphy let the ball get
away and Arnold Rollman
snatched 1T out Of the air and
carried over to put the Ramblers
in front. A poor pass from center
spoiled the attempted conversion.
Franny Gleason put Central
back In the ball game in the
fourth period. The ALI High end
jumped on an Eastern tumble on
the Ramblers' %. Sullivan passed
to Back Terry Gregory for 16
yards, then to Gleason for the
touchdown.
Here Leathery collected Cen
trails winning point.
