Western's win gave Tech undisputed leadership and put the Red and White on even terms with Eastern for sec- ond place. Yesterday's game was the speediest of the series, both teams displaying excellent passing, with Eastern slightly excelling in this respect, but being outshot by the winners, who had considerably fewer chances at netting the ball. ‘Western got off in front and never ‘was headed, although Eastern always ‘was in a position where a short spurt would give them the edge.
