Tech Has Bright Gridiron Record : Let Coach Stay on Bench, Advises Zuppke CHAMPS LOSE BUT TWICE IN SEVEN SCHOOL SERIES Retains Public High Laurels by Drubbing Business | in 51.0 Game—Eastern and Central Teams to Battle Tuesday for Second Place. BY EDWARD W A. FULLER, Jr. HICH eleven will land second place in the public high school foot ball championship race, Eastern or Central? This is the question which is interesting followers of the series today, following Tech’s 51-0 victory yesterday over Business, which gave the McKinley team the title for the second straight season. Eastern and Cen finale. The Lincoln Parkers and for second place, each with two wi tral will face Tuesday in the series the Blue and White now are tied ns and one defeat. It appears that Eastern and Central are well matched. Eastern lost to Tech, 2 to 14, in the series opener, while Central fell victim to the champions, 6 to 12, making the best showing of any team against Tech. Central had a much harder time winning from West- ern than did Eastern, the former triumphing by only 6 to 0, while | the latter won, 36 to 6. However, Western presented a much stronger team against Central than it did against the Lincoln Parkers. Both Eastern and Central ran away with Business. By drubbing Business yesterday Tech’s eleven achieved its third championship in the past seven years that Hap Hardell has been coaching it. During this period the Tech team has either won or second touchdown and his team'’s eighth. A pass for point failed. Line-Up and Summary. Positions. Business (0).

In 1923 Hardell's proteges won the title, in 1924 they tied for it with West- ern, and after Central won the crown in 1925, Tech tled for it again in 1926 with Western and again in 1927 with Central and Eastern and then came on to hoist its standard last year and this. Loses Few Games. During these years Tech has lost only two games, but both to Central, having fallen before the Blue and White, 0 to 13, in 1925, and 0 to 12, in 1927. The McKinley team has been tied four times during the period, once in 1924, once in 1926 and twice in 1926. A total of 22 games hi with three defeats 1923-29, inclusive. Tech has just one mure game sched- uled before it ends its season, that with Staunton Military Academy on the Vir- glanians’ gridiron Thanksgiving day. Yesterday's game was the last on the Business schedule. It has been a dis- astrous campaign for Lynn Wood- worth’s charges. Handicapped by lack of material and facilities to train, the Stenogs have waged a plucky fight all Fall, but have offered little opposition to their larger and more experienced op- ponents. Business was unable to score a single point in the championship series, while its opponents were amassing a total of 169. The Stenogs, however, did win one game, scoring a 6-0 victory over the St. John's College junior varsity at An- napolis. Incidentally, the touchdown scored in this contest represented the only points Business achieved during & regular game this season. Look for Better Teams. Followers of Business, however, are bouyed by the knowledge that it will not be long before its athletic teams will have the use of modern facilities at the new Business School and are confident that then the Stenogs will regain their place in the athletic sun. As was generally expected, Tech had an easy time of it all the way against Business yesterday and, incidentally, in rolling up 51 points, set a record for the current series. Eastern's 46-0 win over Business was the previous mark. After the first few moments it was evident that the McKinley team was to have no trouble with Business and the game was only & few minutes old when Tech scored its first touchdown. Two more were added in the second period, a couple more in the third and the last three in the final quarter, during the latter part of which it was growing dark. Tech had little difficulty in gaining against the Stenogs either on running plays or through the air, while Business ‘was never dangerous. All Tech Cadets Gain. Just about every back used by Tech accounted for substantial yardage. Al Reichman scored two touchdowns, and Goss, Nelson, Capt. Benner, Moore and Yznaga one each. Reichman, Nelson, Benner, Goss and Bruce Moore, & sophomore, appearing for the first time in a game for Tech, were the standouts on_attack. Reichman gained much ground as did Nelson, who also did some good kicking; Benner accounted for much yardage after receiving passes and played a whale of a defensive gamie; Goss advanced the ball about every time he was called upon and Moore, despite his inexperience, gained more than 40 yards in three plays. Aubrey Spencer, Tech quarterbac! flipped s in his usual good sty! Sid Kolker, Tech right tackle, whose play throughout the series has been sonsistently good, showed strongly again. Bill Duryee was the lone Business back to gain appreciably. He turned in several nifty end runs. Sam Levy played well at right tackle for the Stenogs. In the opening minutes of the game Business flared when Duryee staged two end runs, one good for 20 yards and the other for 15, but then, after the Stenogs had been checked, Tech blocked a Business kick in midfield and quickly swept down the field to its first touch- down. Goss plunged over from the 7- yard line. Features of the drive to this score were 25 and 15 yard runs by Nelson and Reichman, respectively. Benner’s placement for point failed. Toward the last part of the period Tech again got its attack functioning ef- fectively but Business intercepted a McKinley pass and Duryee got off "to another end run, this time for 25 yards and then Business got 15 more yards through a penalty imposed on the Maroon and Gray as the quarter ended. Tech Carries On. Tech promptly halted the Stenogs, however, at the start of the second period and the session was young when Reichman went around right end for Tech’s second touchdown early in the period. The McKinley eleven was awarded the extra point when Busi- ness was offside. A little later Spencer slipped off tackle for 20 more yards d another touchdown. Goss rushed ver for the point. As the quarter waned Goss went over for what was thought to be another touchdown after Benner had scooped up a Business fumble on the latter's 12-yard line, but Hardell's team was offside and Busi- ness succeeded in repulsing this threat. Nelson almost single-handed ac- counted for his team’s fourth touch- down when, early in the third period, he took the ball with the exception of a few yards all the way from his team’s 44-yard line, finally scoring on a 7- yard plunge. Benner's placement for point was unsuccessful. It was only a short while later when Benner fell on a Business fumble be- hind the Stenog's goal line for Tech’s fifth touchdown. This ti made good on the try for point by rush- ing the ball across. 1In the final period with 't so dark the players were hardly distinguishable Tech had the Stenogs on the run all the way. Joe Yznaga scored a touchdown and four ties, from in ‘the first stages of the quarter but missed the kick for point. Then Bruce Moore accounted for his team’s seventh “ touchdown, with Benner again missing the kick for point.

Last season the series was played in| the Eastern Stadium instead of at Cen- tral, it being felt that the Lincoln Park school field was more desirable than the Central diamond which has a short right field. However, there is understood to be a good chance of the series coming back to Central next Spring, as there was considerable dissatisfaction ex- pressed with the left-field situatipn at Eastern. The proximity of the run- ning track and stands in left field neces- sitated ground rules which caused not a little confusion.

HICAGO, November 16.—Notre Dame’s boast—"“No team ever beat Notre Dame twice"—was challenged today by the Uni- versity of Southern California. Soldier Field, backing against the Lake Michigan shore on one side and bowing on the other to the city’s skyline of sky- scrapers, was prepared for a crowd of 120,000 persons; one of the really great crowds of all sportdom. Southern California was one of the four teams that whipped the men of Knute Rockne last year. That game was on Trojan soll and the score was 26 to 12. But Carnegie Tech also beat Notre Dame last year and lost to Notre Dame this season. Wisconsin did it in 1928, but failed in 1929. Georgia Tech did last season—and didn’t this. South- ern California remained today the last | of the quartet of challengers. The Notre Dame slogan was not literally true, the Ramblers having been beaten by Carnegie Tech in 1926 and again in 1928; but the train load of rooters that arrived last night carried that banner across one of the cars and seemed ready to let the Carnegle games stand as the exceptions that prove the slogan. Although the victim of a surprise de- feat early this season by California’s Golden Bears, Southern California sent one of the most powerful squads in Trojan history to attemp the conguest of the greatest Rockne-coached eleven since 1924. Directed by the crafty Howard Jones, Southern California leads the country in scoring and aimed today to add to its point total. Both teams bemoaned the loss of cer- tain stars, because of injuries, but Coach Jones had plenty of capable re- placement material for Edelson, a star back, while Rockne was expected to get along somehow without Manfred Vezie, his regular left end. From his batch of starting combina- tions, Rockne was to send his regnlar iine out to face the Trojans at the kick- off, with his No. 2 backfield of Gebert. Schwartz, O'Connor and Wandering Joe Savoldi, to do the early ball carrying. Ready to toss into the battle he had his No. 1 combination of Carideo, Brill, Elder and Mullins. ‘The best Trojan line- was Coach Jones’ choice, indicating that Saunders, Apsit, Pinckert and Musick would start in the backfield. It was this combina- tion that accomplished the downfall of Stanford, only to bow to California the next week. The contest promises a struggle be- tween the power house type of attack as used by Southern California and the 5| assault employed by the Ram- blers.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., November 16.— Yale hopes for victory over Princeton this afternoon, which had fallen with Alble Booth, star quarterback, in the infirmary, rose Friday as Booth left the institution, his “charley horse” having yielded to treatment. Booth went to the infirmary Thurs- day night to have the after-effects of a bruise received in the Maryland game treated and the athletic ailment known as “charley horse” became a complica- tion, Last night Head Coach Mal Stevens said that it was not certain that Booth would be used in the game. ‘This morning he told Booth to be in his playing clothes on the side lines, but gave no further indication of in- tention to use him in the line-up. Yale foot ball followers looked to the use of Booth in case the battle went against the Blue. Booth’s condition to all ap- pearances was normal today. . GAMES ARE ATTRACTING.

Same old spinner by back No. 4 starts it. On two previous plays this spinner has resulted in a gain on a wide sweep and another on a buck inside the defensive left tackle. By that time the defensive backs are set to come up like a shot to stop both openings. It is a sound theory in foot ball that if your run- ning attack begins to function your opposing backs will come up fast to stop it. Then you can pass. Rockne plays it that way with the three As the pped tear straight down field. They ought to be covered.

Father O'Brien’s announcement that Little would be retained for five years, if he so desired, was the first official expreselon concerning Lou’s future at Georgetown, and it was greeted with an enthusiastic cheer. It spiked a rumor that Little would quit the Hilltop to become foot ball coach at Penn, nis alma mater.

Rough tactics on the part of both elevens marred play considerably and penalties were numerous. Young scored first for Washington- Lee in the third period after the teams had played through the first half and a good portion of the third quarter without counting. Luckett essayed & punt from behind the Alexandria goal line after Wash- ington-Lee had steadily pushed the Ma- roon and White backward. His kick reached only to the locals’ 20-yard line and Young came dashing in, caught the pigskin and skipped the remaining dis- tance to a touchdown. Mortimer, Washington-Lee's stellar fleld general, who has performed in bril- liant fashion for the “Little Generals” in all their contests this year, drew blood for the invaders in the last pe- riod when he ran 35 yards from scrim- mage for a touchdown. The game marked the return of Washington-Lee to the district throne after a one-year absence. The Ballston school win its first district grid title in 1927 and was forced to relinquish it to Alexandria's State championship team last Fall. Sidney Hancock, Alexandria High's captain and fullback, who has been out the best part of the season with a knee injury and injuries sustained in an automobile accident, returned to the game yesterday and is in fine fettle for the final game of the season with War- renton High, at Warrenton, Va., next Friday.

Tech Eleven May Play Contest in Connecticut | There is a possibility that Tech High School's foot ball public high championship eleven may play a post-season game early next month with the crack Stamford, Conn., High School team at Stamford. Hap Hardell, Tech coach, said to- day that he had been advised that the New England scholastics wanted to engage McKinley and is awaiting direct word from them. 'h has only one more game scheduled, that with Staunton Mili~ tary Academy, Thanksgiving day at Staunton. Staunton yesterday won the Virginia prep school title, de- spinning real :ghtfi and shoots a forward pass to 0. e puppets. When a halfback winds and dodges his way for a touchdown all the spice of the feat is taken away because the coach over on the t. New York high schools for two years, I am told, have banned who knows how long it will be before Knute Rockne and Biff Jones will be spending a pleasant, un- troubled afternoon high in the sands chatting over their golf scores as their teams maneuver far below them. Certainly it will be a grand rest for Howard Jones and Pop Warner to sit side by side in an upper ticer and blame some ill-advised strategy on the third assistant water boy. Those educators who advocate such a zaove apparently believe the coaches direct too much and destroy the initiative of the players. ‘What does a coach really do on & bench during the game? Messages Not Specific. One theory is that he constantly sends in directions by substitutes. H> may <end in some instructions, but they are iar from as specific as the fans might think. More often the message is of a gen- eral nature, such as “Play safe.” Asa player going in may not communicate with his mates until a play has been called, the entire face of the situation may change and a too definite order if carried out may spell disaster. I usually have my quarterbacks sit beside me. They tell me- that I say ‘itile to them directly, but from my grumbling and thinking out loud they get some idea what I think is wrong out on the field. But good generalship is largely a matter of right habits formed in practice. If the quarterback has not learned them, any general- ization I might utter would be of little value in the stress of combat. Again, an instruction may be mis- understood and the situation messed worse than ever, aithough Princeton once beat Yale through a misunder- standing. In 1899, when there were no rules against communicating with the team on the field, the Tigers sent a substitute running across the field who shouted ‘instructions to have a certain player drop-kick. Princeton thought the sub yelled “Poe!” and Arthur Poe, although” he was not a kicker, kicked +he goal and won the game. Of course, our ideas of ethics have changed long since. Could Direct From Stands. ‘To put the coach into the stands will not solve the problem some persons :hink exists. The coach, even from that perch, could control the organiza- tion, fairly or otherwise, according to his_ethics or_lack of them. For the weifare of every player it will ulways be wise to keep the le and trained coach on the bench to apply an expert eye to the condition of the boys. Give the game back to the students? To what students shall we “give” it and how do we know they want it back? George Huff, director of Illinois athletics for more than a quarter cen- tury, often recalls the chaotic days when students, including himself, were® * m control. Even in that period of little » crganization and no emphasis on com- petitive athletics the results of studeat domination were not pleasing and the | authorities of the universities were soon forced to assume control. I doubt if the coach ever will be taken off the bench, but if he is I predict that it will not be long before they put him back.
