High School title. Tech did not have the best team and it would have been a shame for them to have copped the crown the third year straight. Steelton and Lock Haven are better clubs than Tech this esason and while Clarence Dewok's crew beat Steelton by a narrow margin, Steelton played the best football in that contest Bclntillatine record in winning the Western Conference title this season, going through the regular season with out a single blemish on their record. And to top their most sucoessful season of the past decade, the Lock Haven eleven got revenge for the de PHILADELPHIA, Dec.

Frankford Yellowjackets moved one peg nearer the national professional championship by a victory over Shenandoah Saturday afternoon at Frank-ford's grounds, 27 to 6. By the victory Frankford stands as the foremost professional team in the East. Philadelphia, having triumphed over every contender she has met in this section. She will meet the Chicago Bears, probably the leading representative of the West, a week hence. George Sullivan, former University of Pennsylvania star, was again the Individual hero of the game.

He scored two touchdowns, he was all over the field, he carried the ball time and again through and around one of the best defensive lines in the country. And theycould not stop him. He started the game, and played almost every minute. He only left the fracas late in the last period, when a Shenandoah player in tackling him a trifle too high, ripped off his Jersey, shoulder pads and sweat-shirt, and it would have taken too long to redress him again. Once again George Sullivan found his main support and assistance in Tex Hamer, former Penn captain.

Stars Galore Shine There were stars galore on both lina-ups. As a matter of fact the thousands of rooters were treated to perhaps the best array of former college Steelton beat Mount aCrmel High here 68 to 0. We went to Harris feats at the hands of the Tech team in both 1923 and 1923, giving the Maroon team another Jolt to wind up burg and held the state champs of last year to a 13 to 6 tally. Com the latter's mediocre season. parative scores showed that Steelton Wolf's team used the style of play developed by Knute Rockne and made should be an easy winner, but Steel parpose, the West End Tigers and the North End Bisons, the bitterest of sectional rivals, snarled, toro and snatched at each other vainly throughout four gruelling periods of football waged in the Mount Carmel Stadium yesterday afternoon, the hectic tussle terminating in a scoreless deadlock.

Under dark, gray, somsre skies, the Tlgor and the Bison clashed. From the dawn to the end of the terrific stuggle, it was a battle for gore. Roth elevens surged on striving to obtain an edge but it was for naught, the tilt ending West End Tigers North End Bisons 0. Bisons Outplayed Although the gruelling battle ended In a scoreless deadlock, it was readily discerned that the Tiger outplayed the Bison. Figures tend to prove the statement.

The West End eleven tabulated eight first downs, two coming as the result of penalties inflicted on the North End array. The Bisons registered one initial down which came in the third quarter after an aerial had been comploted for a gain of ten yards. Twice the Tigers threatened to cross North End's final chalk mark. A sensational return of a punt, an incessant pounding at the Bisons' line carried the pigskin to North End's seven yard line where the Bisons rallied and held the raging Tiger In submission. This occurred in the very first quarter.

Again In it he third period, the ton seems to fear Tech and as the Tigers, Threaten Opening the second half, the Tigers repeated their offensive tactics during the first quarter. Mallnowski circled North End's right end for 17 yards, placing the oval on West End's 43 yard linn. North End was penalized five yards for ofT-side play, giving the Tigers a first down. A five-yard penalty Inflicted on the West End followed. The Tiger backs began to push the ball back Into North End's territory.

Mallnowski caromed through the Bisons' right tackle and sprinted 21 yards before he was brought to earth on North End's 24 yard line. Mallnowski added eight more yards, placing the ball on North End's 16 yard line. With the ball pushed to the Bisons' nine yard line and only three yard to step off for an initial down, the North End forward wall again braced and retarded the Tigers' charges, tt Was North End's ball, Andrews punting to his own 45 yard mark. After Angeli gained six yards, Yesa-leVlch attempted a forward. It failed.

Mallnowskie punted to North Ends six yard line. Andrews the ball taking bad bounds, traveling to West End's 32 yard line. made 13 yards on two piays. Yesalevlch followed with eight yards, placing the ball on Nortlf End's 43 yard line. The.

Tiger backs were again working the ball back into the Bisons' territory. Angeli added four yards on a line buck, netting a first down. Bisons' 1st Down Andrews intercepted, one of Malin-owskle's lateral passes on his own 83 yard line. Ho followed with two vards through center. An aerial Senators got the brakes, they took Steelton into camp as usual.

Had Steelton won this tilt it would. have meant a better game for the title as Steelton and Lock Haven are prob i ERNIE NEVERS "One of the greatest football pla yers I have ever coached. He doesn'a seem to have a weakness." That Is the compliment Olenn Warner, head coach at Stanford, pays Ernie Nevers, his star fullback. Warner, who has developed some of the greatest football players In the history of the game, is enthusiastic over the work of Nevers. Thd west looks for Nevers to win a place on the mythical All-America team this year, if he plays up to ex pectations.

Nevers is a triple-threat man, punt ing consistently 50 yards, gets off long and accurate passes and hits the lino hard. Nevers is a Junior. He was the outstanding star of the team last ably the two strongest clubs In the On Thanksgiving Day, Lock Haven gave Mount Carmel a terrible drag famous by the Notre Dame eleven. While Wolf played on the Michigan eleven, he studied under Rockne at South Band last season, and hia team used their wide open formations and deceptive offensive here today. The mud-covered field and slippery ball made this system hard to use; but the Lock Haven team had to drive to carry the ball across the goal line.

The Maroon team made a gallant fight to maintain Its title for the third straight time, but they were unable to penetrate the Lock Haven defense when they neared the goal line. Tech carried the ball on one occasion to the five-yard line, only to lose the ball on downs. Tech outrushed their rivals with seven first downs to three. A fumble in the third period led tc the first tally. A long forward pass Kunes to Rathgeber, and a 20-yard ging around when they walloped us 76 to 0.
