Weaver Spins Web About Continentals in Season’s Most Thrilling High School Drama, Won Yesterday by Tech, 7 to 0.

F Tech gave out report cards for football, one boy on the Techiteam would probably receive one something like this: Name: Harlan Weaver. Position: Halfback. Game in question: Washington versus Technical. Carried ball 27 times. Threw seven passes, one for touchdown. Intercepted pass which would have meant Washington score. Deportment—A plus. Ability—A plus. Coach Doc Ball's Big Green team yesterday crashed through in a blaze of gridiron glory to down the Washington Continentals in a game which was never in the bag until the final whistle. It was as exciting a ball game as has been exhibited locally this season, including the thriller in which Washington took the measure of Shortridge, 14 to 12. The ground-gaining yesterday at Washington's field turned out to be a personal duel between Marion Carter of the Continentals and Harlan, The Weaver, of Tech. They came out of their corners fighting in the first quarter and although Weaver won a technical knockout with his touchdown pass in the second, Carter came within inches of putting the Big Green from down under to sleep in the last round.

EVER have we seen such a last quarter barrage as Coach ~ Henry Bogue’s boys displayed. No college team, with the exception perhaps of Notre Dame last year at Ohio State; could top the fleet of passes Washington uncorked. It started with a pass from Turk to Yovanovich, which netted the Continentals more than 25 yards. That put the .ball on Tech’s 27. Boswell went through the line for six yards and it looked like the game might end in a tie. After an incomplete Washington pass, Weaver intercepted the next toss, which would have been six points for Washington. Wilson punted out to Washington's 30. It gave the Continentals another last-minute try with a sophomore back, ! McCalip, playing an important part. McCalip punted after the Tech-men held for downs, and Weaver made five yards in two plays. Washington was penalized 15 yards and then Tech fumbled and Washington recovered. McCalip passed again to Yovanovich on the Tech 18, a 30-yard toss. McCalip passed over the goal line, the ball hit somebody on the shoulder, bounded high in the air and landed in the arms of Green (Washington fullback). | But it was ruled that Green was the second eligible man to

Bulldogs Out to Win Loop

Hinkle Team Plays Uhlans of Valparaiso at Fairview Bowl.

Shooting for its third consecutive Indiana College Conference football title, Butler University was to meet Valparaiso’s Uhlans this afternoon at Fairview Bowl It was the last league game of the season for the unbeaten Bulldogs who also hold ties with Chicago University and Cincinnati in nonconference tilts. Butler has beaten Manchester, Evansville, Wabash and Franklin in loop contests. With the exception of Cody Burdette, right end, who still is handicapped by a side injury, Coach Hinkle reported the Bulldog eleven in first-class condition for this afternoon’s fray.

Scrappin’ Hoosiers Tackle Syracuse

Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Nov. 7— Favored by perfect weather, Indiana’s Scrappin’ Hoosiers and the Orangemen of Syracuse University were to meet at Memorial Stadium this afternoon in one of the leading intersectional tilts on the nation’s grid program. , Indications were that Coach Bo McMillin would start a “pony® backfield built entirely of reserve players against the Eastern eleven. Coach Vie Hanson of Syracuse plans to use a backfieid quartet built around Vannie Albanese, hardhitting fullback. The two teams have broken even in . their grid series; Indiana winning in 1919, and Syracuse tgking the 1925 tilt.

Rams, still in the running for an invitation to the Rose Bowl despite their scoreless tie with Pittsburgh last week, faced Purdue today at the Polo Grounds. Forty thousands persons were expected to witness the clash between one of the East's most powerful grid representatives and the sirong Boilermaker eleven, beaten only by Minnesota. Cecil Isbell and Johnny Drake, touted “touchdown twins” of the

concerned. Yesterday he used them judiciously. During the first half one team replaced the other regularly. It was probably an attempt to wear down the Big Green. The two teams apparently spent the first quarter trying | each other’s strength. There were numerous punts and few | sallies with the ball. Carter made Washington's only first down, and incidentally, the only first down either team made, during the first period, with an 11-yard sprint off-tackle. The Tech dash for their lone touchdown started in the second quarter after Washington had fumbled and had given Tech the ball on their own 45. Weaver passed to Wilson for eight yards. Weaver went through center for five, and first down. He threw a perfect toss to Huffman, who was in the clear, but the Tech end dropped it. Then Weaver threw one to Joe Crofts for 15 yards. Weaver faked a pass and went around left end for nine yards. Through the line Weaver made one vard and first down. McCormick picked up two. And on the next play, Weaver laid the ball in Crofts’ arms on the weak side pass play which got Tech its touchdown. Crofts’ place kick, with Wijson holding, was mathematically correct. Tech’s schedule has been marred by only one defeat and a tie in seven starts. They have yet to play Shortridge next week before turning in their card as an application for the city title.

FJ » = = FJ ~ T the first of the season, Coach Ball told us that Weaver was the best passer he had ever seen. He came near to proving that statement yesterday. His tosses, all but one, were right to the receiver, and if they were incomplete it _ wasn't the fault of Weaver. But all the credit should not accrue to Mr. Weaver. His line and blocking backs were in there with vim and vigor and time after time stopped Washington stabs which other teams had yielded to in earlier games. Tech’s scores so far this year are: Tech, 6; Jeff of Lafayette, 6. Tech, 20; Richmond, 14. Tech, 8; Muncie, 7. Tech, 8; Manual, 6. Tech, 18; Cathedral, 7. Anderson, 13; Tech, 12.

N order to keep “this column from being completely swept away by high school football, we'll mention a piece of news which we think eventually will reach the ears of one Ripley or John Hix. It concerns Lyle Constable, one of the mainstays of Coach Tillotson’s Franklin squad. A week ago last Wednesday, Lyle injured his leg but didn’t think much of it. He played against Butler the following Saturday and scrimmaged this week until increased pain in the limb caused him to have an X-Ray taken. It revealed a broken bone. Any boy who plays a football game on one leg and spirit deserves the old laurel wreath.

Rebounding from its humiliating defeat by Anderson last week, Technical’s Big Green eleven reached the gridiron heights yesterday afternoon at the Washington field as it defeated the Continentals, 7 to 0, in the feature contest on the local program. oo It was the first loss of the season for the Washington team as against

a record of five victories and one scoreless tie.

Grid Title Looms

for Technical

Coach Doc Ball's Big Green Technical High School team stood knocking at the threshold of the city scholascic grid championship today after its sparkling 7 to 0 vietory over the mighty Continentals of Washington yesterday afternoon at the Wes. Side field.

The passing ccmbination, Weaver |

to Crofts, “hii” twice late in the second period and brought the touchdown that moved Tech within a single game of the title. The Green and White squad is in position to win the city crown next week with a victory over Shertridge at Butler Bowl. An important break, Carter's fumble of Tommy Wilson's punt at midfield, paved the way for the Tech scoring drive. The Continental squad had been hammering consistently at the Tech goal line during the first and second periods and the big Green and White squad had been forced to kick out of danger innumerable timcs.

Tech Starts Drive

Ultimately Marion (Red) Carter muffed one of Wilson's punts and Don Gillie, one of the outstanding linemen on the field, recovered for Tech. Wilson and Weaver made two first downs on running plays and then Weaver passed to Crofts for another first down only 25 yards from the goal. Don Huffman dropped the next pass and Weaver resorted to a running play, carrying the ball nine yards around end. On the next play, Weaver again heaved the pigskin to Crofts who shook off two tacklers and scored. Tommy Wilson held the ball while Crofts then proceeded to demonstrate his prowess at the job for which he had been trained all week by place kicking the point-after-touchdown. The Seven points thus gained proved sufficient for victory. ‘ Attack Falls Short

The Continentals came back to “shoot the works” in the second half and drove deep into Tech scoring territory several times, but each attempt failed to pring a touchdown. Two passes were tossed over the goal but each was incomplete. Finally Phil Shoemaker, Washington captain, caught an aerial attempt behind the goal line, but officials ruled that it was touched first by another eligible receiver and consequently it was declared incomplete because only the offensive player who first touches the ball is eligible fo make the catch unless it also is touched by a defense man. Another pass by McCalip on fourth down was just out of Carter's reach and Tech took possession of the ball on its own 20-yard line. After a penalty had set the Big Green team back fifteen yards and two running plays failed to gain, Tech lined up in punt formation, but the whistle sounded before the play could be started.

Dawson, D. Crockett and Hyman lugged the ball over for touchdowns in the first quarter and Ed Brown place-kicked two extra points to give the Blue Devils a 20-to-0 lead at the end of the period. Twice in the opening quarler Shortridge scored only to have the play called back and a penalty of five yards inflicted because the Blue Devil line was offside.
