Tech and Eastern, the oldest
and at one time the hottest foot
ball rivals in the Interhigh
League. apparently are only cas-
ual antagonists after a two
year layoff.
That was a must" game for
Tech yesterday and Eastern was
| nursing a f1ve-game unbeaten
streak, yet only 500 fans turned
out to watch the Trainers with
a 60 decision in a lack-luster
performance on a muddy Tech
field. The last time Tech had
won from the Ramblers was in
1948. four games ago.
The Tech players probably
can be excused if they were look
ing ahead two weeks to their
important : league battle with
Wilson. There are only two
teams we want to beat this year.
and they're Roosevelt and Will
son. I don't care if we lose all
the Others" Coach Stan Ziobro
said in a reckless moment yes
terday. Roosevelt was an earlier
victim, 7-6::
Tech is idle next week and
ziobro will have his team in the
stands at Roosevelt hoping to
see a tie game with Wilson that
would leave the door open for
the Trainers to win the Western
division playoff berth-by beat
ing Wilson. of course.
The touchdown yesterday came
early in the second quarter when
Tackle Gordon CHoot) Gibson
blocked Gay Clarke's end-zone
punt and Buddy Pryor fell on the
ball. Four plays earlier, Tech
was guilty of illegal receiver
downfleld" and the penalty
erased a touchdown pass from
Tom Merryman to George Dut-
row.
A similar penalty stopped the
Trainers at Eastern's 21-yard
line just before halftime. Third
quarter thrusts to Eastern's "a

passes.

Eastern moved into Tech terri
tory only three times. Quarter
back George Lacey maneuvered
the Ramblers to Techs 20 and
28-yard lines late in the fourth
quarter but interruptions by Ed
Robertson nipped both advances.
Wilson, the Interhigh Leagues
Western Division leader, stepped
over Bell, $50, yesterday to ad-
vance above the 500 mark for

scored on short runs in the first
quarter and Joe Brizzi ran Is
