But one thing seemed rather certain —it will not be Whitney. Central nave their opponents few opportunities. When chances did come. Tech showed a- woeful lacking !in headwork. On three occasion;? the Whitney bunch was within striking ' distance of the goal line. A forward j pass was needed to score. The wrong i play was pulled. Several times Tech ' made good gains on a formation that had Central guessing, but this parti cular play never came a second time. Tech Tackles High One point in yesterday's game the spectators just couldn't understand was Tech's high tackling. Many times Central players carrying the ball dragged Tecji's interference right along. Jt was the "cleanest" game ever seen on the Island. There were no j penalties in the entire game. While some players were badly battered up, none went out with injuries. Central was speedy and peppery and every play was pulled off with snap. Tech's line weakness offered oppor tunities for big gains. On the other hand. Paul Smith's players were like a stonewall- in defense. Most of the time straight football was played. The breaks favored Central but they did not win the game. Captain Rote was a big star in yes terday's battle, but he didn't win the game either. It was the team that did the trick. While this slippery little fellow plunged through Tech's line at will and chased up and down the field for big gains, scoring the greatest number of points, other players were Important factors in Tech's humilia tion. Houti Makes Gains Houtz played a great game for Cen tral. Only once was he thrown for a loss. Moore was the speed king. It was this boy who picked up the ball after a fumble early in the first half and went down the line for a touch down. Diffenbaoh and Nissley jumped into the fray several times for / fine FOOTBALL LEADERS AND Central is first winner of the P. G. Dicner silver football, a picture of which appears above. It will be competed for again next year. If Central wins, the trophy becomes permanent property of the school. If Tech wins, a third contest will be necessary to decide final ownership. On the is Captain Harry Rote, the season's big football hero, whose head work was a big factor In yes-terday's victory. Captain "Muzz" Mil ler, of Tech, is on the left. This boy was not in his usual form yesterday. work. Every player on the Central team played a part. The finest ex hibition of interference was in evi dence in each period. To Rote, for his generalship, and to the other war riors for their work is due the highest praise. Credit is also due Paul Smith the coach, and his assistant. Leo Har ris. They were responsible for Cen tral's wonder football machinery. Tech, to be sure, came out of the battle with some credit. There were times when the work of the Whitney eleven brought hope to their admirers. Lloyd was the star man for Tech. Harris played a remarkable game. Phillipelll, Fltzpatrick, Lauster, Mc- Kay, Cole and Killinger carried the ball at Intervals for gains. Real Football Day The day was ideal for a football battle. The weather played a large part in rounding up a record crowd. The attendance yesterday numbered 5.500. The receipts will enable both Central and Tech to take good care of athletics for another year. The ar rangements at the field were splendid. Every available seat was filled. Around the field was a line of several hundred automobiles and between the autos and first rope spectators were crowded four lines deep. Central's student body made a fine showing with a representation of 950. They came on the field first with the Commonwealth band, marched over the field, and after forming In lilies across the gridiron gave the several cheers and the school song. A large greyhound decorated in Central col ors lead the procession. On signal the students rushed for the right field bleachers where they were busy dur ing the game. Tech cheering crowd, numbered 500 and including a number of the alumni members. Tech was led by the athletic managers and a large bulldog decorated In school colors. In the procession was also a goat on which was a banner bearing the inscription: "C. H. S. Goat." Central Parades Streets After the game and last night Cen tral celebrated the victory with a parade. Red fire was burned and the ] route of the procession covered a large portion of the city. The students sang songs, cheered, and carried ban ,ners with appropriate inscriptions. | telling of Tech's downfall. The final l celebration will take place Mondav | next at Chapel. Following several addresses by members of the faculty, the Peter G. Diener silver trophy will be presented to the Central High school. This prize was presented to the Harrisburg school district by the local jeweler and is a large football of solid silver on a pedestal. It will become the perman ent property of the school winning the most victories in three years. How Scores Were Made Central scored twice In the first quarter. After rushing Central up the field 40 yards. Tech lost the ball. Houtz, Rote and Diffenbach made small gains. Central kicked. Phil lipelli was under the ball and fumbled. Moore like a flash picked up the pig skin and went down the line 30 yards for a touchdown. Rote kicked the goal. Tech again started rushing Central up the field and lost the ball on downs. Captain Rote with his team began real fighting and It was evident that another touchdown was not far away. Rote made It. He went through Tech's entire team to the goal posts where he was downed but not In time to prevent a score. He kicked another goal. There was nothing doing in the sec ond period. The half ended with honors In favor of Central as to the amount of territory gained. When the teams came on the field in the sec ond half, every player was in his position in short order. Both teams showed a desire for another hard bat tle. It came. Each team showed form, until Houtz started to buck Tech's line when Central's ground gaining was kept up until another touchdown came. DifTenbach was the star. He went over the line for three yards after the ball had been carried at intervals by Houtz, Rote and Zleg ler. Rote was a hero a few minutes later when he caught a punt from T.loyd, and went through an unbroken field for a touchdown. He kicked a goal. The final score by Central came soon after the fourth period started. Houtz gained 12 yards on a double Rote followed with three more, and Ziegler added nine, scoring a first down. Houtz took the ball on the next plav and ploughed through Tech's line. He went down the field 20 yards for a touchdown. The score was 3 4 to 0. The game ended without any further trouble.
