Eastern's Stenographers Edge Business In Gridiron Clash
Eastern High School defeated the Busview nine 5 to 0 at American League Park in a tense protest filled game. McGiffin starred for Capitol Hill, catching Welcher's onside kick for the lone touchdown as Welcher outpunted Martin and the Stenographers carried the ball at the Orange and Blue's end. The contest was delayed by eligibility protests over Dodd and Farmer, with an advisory committee hearing underway as the half ended and the second half produced punting and defensive skirmishes before Eastern sealed the score.
