Although inferior in both skill and size, the Irishmen put up a game battle all the way, their one ambition being to cross Scott's goal-line. It was the effectual work of our line which stopped their plays and prevented them from realizing their hopes. Vick starred for Scott, making four touchdowns during the afternoon. York also played a good game, putting the ball over twice. The team took this opportunity to try out a number of new plays, some of which proved to be good ground-gainers. For Central, Heckler and Bechtal played the best game. LINEUP AND SUMMARY. SCOTT-55 CENTRAL-0 Edwards ..... ..e... - --L. E.--- ..... ...,...- C arey Scheible ...... ....... - --lr.

SCOTT DETROIT CENTRAL At that very inopportune moment when the Scott team was well into its stride and had its second wind. our ancient rival, Detroit Central, backed out and refused to play their annual game with our gridders. To make matters worse, Detroit gave us but a few hours notice with a' consequent loss of time and money to the Scott team and management. As a result of this, Faculty Rlanager Siebert announced the severing of all future athletic relationship with Central. After nearly twenty years of notable and enjoyable contests between these two powerful schools on track, field, and HOOT, it is to be regretted that they have finally come to the parting of the ways. However, after the manner in which the authorities at Central treated our representatives, no self-respecting school could possibly think of having ar1Ything to do with them in the future. The direct cruise of the dis' sension ww the coming of three former Central men-Scheible, York, and Kreitz -to Scott. ln football particularly have Scott and Central been close competitors.. Prior to l9lS, they were more evenly matched than of late. Tn 1917 Central wrecked our championship aspirations by administering an heart-breaiking defeat, 20-l2. ln 'IS and '19, however, Scott got the better of Cer:tral's teams, and would have rejoiced in the chance to have done so again this year, which was precisely what 122

Some twenty yards behind raced Dutch Yick, Scott fullback de luxe. Slaughter, fortunately being slow on his feet, was Cochran, and Edw opponent's backheld nailed with a fine tackle by Dutchl' on our forty yard line. The heralded Louisville line was rent asunder at times, lleyers, Shuey. ards often worming their way through and downing the men in their tracks and York carried the pigskin in turn and consistently over for the initial half-dozen points when he pulled down The second score came as the result of a short line buck by jack Reeder. The oval changed hands many times via the kicking route. Then York broke away and reeled off twenty yards. Yick followed with a ten-yard gain, and a pass to Chapman on the line raised the Scott tally another Reeder, Vick, gained. York went a pass from Vick. six points. During the third period Louisville held our warriors scoreless. In the last quarter Eddie Scharer got started and dodged and wormed and worked his way through a broken held of opposing players, speeding over the line for the fourth score of the day, after a thrilling and spectacular exhibition of clever running. A fifth touchdown by Herb York completed the scoring, and the crowd went home well satisfied-as did the boys from Kentucky. also.

SCOTT-7 CLEVELAND EAST TEC-H41-f The sad tale of East Tech's l-l- to 7 victory at Scott Field the next Saturday is a story of the game as it was played inside Tech's Q0 yard line. Un four-fifths of the torn and trampled gridiron our eleven show ed a powerfully charging backfield, an unbreakable line, speed, strength, and courage which seemed to make victory sure. On seven separate occasions were our apparently irresistable marches toward victory stopped within the last five white lines. l7urthermore, two pla.ys, each having its beginning on Tech's 20 yard line, and each good for SH yards. gave the Cleveland school boys two touchdowns, the first victory over our football team since 1917, and a man's size claim on interscholastic honors. Disregarding, for the moment, the outcome, it was really a wonderful game. perhaps the greatest ever played on our field. The day was perfect, an enormous throng filled every nook and cranny of the big enclosure, and the playing was thrilling and spectacular above all previous encounters. THE FACTOR OF GENERALSHIP Generalship, that impalpable, intangible thing which is invarihly com- mended when it succeeds and as often blamed when it fails, played perhap-1 the most important part in the result of the game. Our generalship was seemingly as poor as our luck. The most discussed failure of the game was in the second quarter, when Tech held a seven point lead. A well-executed runhack of a punt by Vick, who caught the oval on Cleveland's 40 yard line and ripped his way seventeen yards before being thrown, coupled with line plunges by York and Vick. gave us first down on Tech's six yard line. York made three yards on the next down: a second plunge landed the ball a scant foot from the goal-line. York again tried, but failed to gain through the struggling, fighting Tech line. Then Scharer elected to attempt a left end run, although the pigskin was on that side of the field. He slipped, and was flattened out with a four yard loss. Carlson of Tech then punted out of danger. The more legitimate and the orthodox attack, Vick through the line, might have met with no better success, but Dutch was the plunging star of the after- noon, and, even had the play failed, it could not have been called poor strategy. CLEVELAND GETS THE BREAKS Tech attempted a large number of forward passes. Still, our goal-line was never approached except when Cleveland scored after long runs. The first seven points was tallied towards the end of the first quarter. The battle had been waged in midfield until Tech received a penalty for holding. At this point Carlson threw a forward pass which Vick intercepted and went dashing down the field over line after line until he was stopped on Tech's twenty-five yard mark. Dutch followed instantly with another gain, this time of five yards around left end. The stands were booming forth frenzied demands for a Touchdown. 123
