Kowalski E.-Beagle K. Beagle Spaniola team knocked on Lansing's goal three times and three times they were stopped. At last. Eastern's Iron Men gave way and Ann Arbor crashed their way to a 6 point victory. Four days after the Ann Arbor Defeat. Central's Big Reds were met for the city champion- ship. The four year old feud was renewed and the greatest battle of the year was on. From the thud of the hrst kick-off to the loud report of the iinal gun the teams drove, tackled. blocked. and ran as if possessed by demons. Central proved their worth by scoring a touchdown before five minutes of the game had been played. But Eastern proved its fighting spirit by holding the Big Reds on even terms. Near the close of the first half, Henry Fine broke loose on a double pass behind the line and ran within a yard of the goal line. Central was thrown off balance and John Turik found a gap, opened by Kruszewski and Swartz, to crash for a touchdown. The score stood 6-6 at the rest period. The third quarter the Fighting Quakers held the Big Reds on even terms. outplaying them at times. but when the final period got under way, Eastern's warriors gave way under the vigorous attack of Central and the West Side Boys pounded their way to an l8A6 victory. Thus. after two years as city champs. Eastern gave the coveted trophy to Central who won the City Championship, the Five A League Championship, and the State Championship. Only six men will be lost by graduation and with the return of tive lettermen and a host of reserves. a wonderful team can be expected in 1931.

Baird Raff Mary Godfrey tricks. At last. in the nnal minutes of play, our stone wall gave way and Jackson battered their way to a touchdown with the final score 7-7. Benton Harbor's Tigers were Eastern's next opponents. The Tigers boasted of a big. powerful. and fast eleven and were favorites over the more inexperienced Quaker lads. But once more the dope was upset and our team more than surprised the Harborites. During the entire tirst half, Benton Harbor had the ball only three times while Eastern had possession more than three-quarters of the time. The linemen charged and the ball toters ran so that at the rest period, Benton Harbor found themselves 1-l- points behind. Early in the third quarter, Robert Frakes. Benton Harbors All-State Halfback. broke through Eastern's defense and raced 64 yards for their lone touchdown. After that touchdown the Quakers again settled down to business and at the close of the fourth period they were on the long end of a 14-6 score. Only two more games remained to be played and they were both tough assignments. November 7 found the boys packed and ready to leave for Ann Arbor at 6:30 A.M. The game with the University City gridders was scheduled at 10:30 A.M. and the boys had to leave rather early. When they arrived at Ann Arbor it was cold and snowing. At the be- ginning of the game the boys were still cold and stiff from their three hour ride. Although thus handicapped, the game was a fight to the finish. The experienced Purple and White '.
