TECH WINS BY
THIS CLEVER PLAY
Eastern Disappointed by Its Show
ing Against Manual Train
I. ing Eleven.
I By BRYAN MORSE.
Rugene Ochsenrelter, Tech's freshman
halfback. Is receiving all the honors to
day for having made the most senaa
tlonal play of the high school football
(erics. Ochscnrclter's dropklck from
the 25-yard lino In yesterday's Tech
Eaatem game was the only score of the
contest, and gave Tech a victory.
The dropklrk came In tho last part
of the second nuartecr. Tech and East
ern had battled up and down tho Held
for tho best part of three quarters,
Tech being unable to count and eastern
holding at tiroes on the brink of Its
coal line.
Receiving a poor pass, after he had
succeeded In rushing the ball somo forty
jmrds on three attempts, Ochsenrelter,
In dropping back for a kick, found him
self beset with thrco Eastern linemen.
The ball was swung down from over
Ochsenreltcr's head and ho coolly took
look at the goal posts and bcoted the
ball between the plaers who stood all
round him. The ball sailed squarely
between the posts and the game was
won.
Sensational Play.
It waa one of the most sensational
plays of tho high school series, and dis
played great coolness and headwork on
tho part of the Tech player who finds
himself quite a hero In this his first
year on a Tech team. Ochsetirelter's
first appearance was In the Tech-Ccn-tral
game, and he narrowly missed a
dropklck from the 50-yard line.
The game Itself was h disappointment
to Eastern as well as Tech. The Light
Blue and White had expected a win and
was depending uron tho speed of its
backfleld to carry It through to a win.
Speed failed to materialize In the East
ern line-up and the formations run wjth
a direct pass to the hacks robbed tho
Capitol Illll Inim of whatever speed
It had. Kasttrn's showing was a disap
pointment In nen' sense of the word.
Pope's absence was keenly felt and a
bift In the llne-un caused the left end
to be unusually weak, most of Tech'a
gains beliic made around that Hank.
Tech was able to guln through the
line on fake kirk plays and Eastern
made most of its distance through run
ning back punts There were many
fumbles during the four periods and the
Tech baiktli-lit wus slowness Itself In
Setting xtarted
To Ochsenrelter nf Tech, McKInney,
and Steed, mum be given credit. Then"
were but few times on the defense that
theso pla)ers wctt not in the limelight.
Big White carried the ball with suc
cess but failed to keep hli feet. Ecken
dorf failed to gain ground after belntr
shifted to th.- barklleld, although Sun
plee, tho big guard who waa sent in
a half gained consistently on line
plunges.
Made Best Tackle.
Fisher, of Uastcrn, displayed about
the best ability at tackling that has
been shown In an nf tho high school
ffames tP ttan everywhere on the field.
Down under punts lie seldom missed
tho runner and had he had more
strength on his flank Tech would have
been unable1 to make anything llko the
gains that were recorded
Eastern fill Uohii In its record of
having no tinu taken out for Injuries
and must record tho second offense In

DEFEAT BY ARCADE
Third Game of Series to Be
Played Next Tuesday
Night.
To "Buck" Barton's wlldness In tho
box Is being attributed the downfall of
the National A. C. Indoor baseball tram,
which waa defeated by r. to 0 In a llve
lnnlns gume ut the Arcade by the Ar
cade Stars with UKk llobtrtsun In
the box.
Barton, whose pltchlnj feats on the
Pcpco team, atnung tho amateur base
ball nines, was tho talk of tho town
at nnn time lust summer, tssaed to
do tho twirling for tho National A. C.
and allowed but two hits In the short
time game. "Buck" waa too wild, and
allowed three bauea on balls, which
proved to be enough to defeat him.
Tho game -was fust from start to fin
ish, and several plnn brought rounds
of applause from thu spectators. Gaui
za and Munch featured with fielding
stunts, while Bub Murphy's butting was
the best of tho evening. liobcrUon,
who pitches for the Savannah club In
the Bummertlnre, proved that he Is Just
no good Indoors as outside, by striking
out eight batters during the rive rounds.
It was unnounced that the third game
of tho series will be played on Tues
day evening, when the teams will line
up against each other again.
Harry Wolverton Will
Manage at Sacramento
NEW VOrtK. Nov. 20. Harry Wolor
ton, deposed manager of the Highland
ers, has signed to lead the Bacramento
club, of the Pacltlc Coast League, for
1:113 and will leave soon for the coast.
He iitl tnpted to legalu his former
berth In Oakland, but It hud been tilled.
Wolverton has had great success In
Callfornl 1 baseball and Is expected to
put Sacramento on the map next year.
"I hao nothing to say about my
treatment here," said Wolverton today.
Tro fans of the American League
know what I had to contend with all
last summer. Most of my team were
on the sick or injured list nil tho time
and there were times when It looked as
lf pltcherw would have to get Into the
Inllcld. Indeed, I plajed third baso In
a number of gumeH myself merely be
cause I had no piajers to hold down tho
Job.
"I llko California I have always been
w.dl treated there and It'll be llko going
homo to get back. I expect to leave
New York before January show a up."
Oxford and Cambridge
Favor Sending Team
LONDON, Nov. W. The prospects of
an International university nthletlc
meeting next summer In Aineilcn have
become brighter The athletes of Ox
ford uml Cambridge universities urn
largely In faur of such a contest,
Nothing detlnlto will be done In the
matter until tho proposal comes form
all) before the Cambridge I'nlversily
Athletic Club and tho Oxford Unlvet
slty Athletic Club. Tho keenness of tho
athlcten nt the English universities,
however. Is such that It la believed the
iiitr.orltles will bring the rchetne of an
other contest with the athletes of II11
vurd and Yale to maturity.
In eso of Oxford declining to partici
pate. It Is likely thut Cambridge will
cend a (earn to oppose the combined
teams of Hurvard and Yale.

On tho other hand, If wo should "hit the lino" about twice today, there
would be duo some sort of an engraving on tho pallid marble Blab above

For the benefit of thoso readers who desire the full text of Mr. Adams'
conception of last Saturday's buttle, It wan about this:
"The Klla played a goodly game
Right straight from the beginning
And yet to me, they seemed to bo
More Flynned against than Flynnlng."
The Crimson Chance.
Harvard today would bo all ready to rise upon hind feet and exudo three
luBty cheers In behalf of next Saturday's dusk. If It was not for remem
brances of old. To be moro particular, say 1910. The Crimson has ap
peared to have the situation fairly sowed up, nailed down' or rounded out
before, only to havo old Dock Ell kick off his winding sheet about 2 p. ra.
of tho Dig Day and upset the dope.
Next to victory tho Crimson nbovo all things cIbo desires a touchdown
against the Blue, as it has now been a matter of cloven seasons lnco a red
stockinged gladiator was able to wiggle painfully across the nine line.
But Harvard has already kicked one classical tradition of twenty-five years'
standing on the shin by peeling the Tiger. And it Isn't unlikely that an
other will bo cracking n few days after this collection of words Is net up
In print.
The Crimson of today isn't the Crimson of yesterday or a few years
