its own in the other positions ON the
line. Ntzhugh,, Monahan and Kenney
We're the hardest men Boston College
rushers had to deal with, McHugh
was everywhere, and his fine tackling
was a feature of the game. The in
reference on plays sent at his end of
the line could not handle the little Holy
Cross man, and he frequently brought
down his man yards behind the line
Monahan did fine work also, and Ken
ney nailed the Boston backs every time
they got through the line and We're
headed for touchdown. kenney made
his tackles sure every time for any
man that got by him was good for a
touchdown
James Sullivan started in the game
at quarter back for Holy Cross. but
before the first half was played he was
compelled to retire in favor of O'Toole,
owing to an injury to his ankle Me
Cusker was the only other Holy Cross
player that was obliged to leave the
game, and he was forced to get out in
the second half. for his injuries, though
not serious, prevented him from putting
up his usual game, and Murphy finished
the game at right half back
The fact that Boston Colleges three
centre men outplayed their opponents.
made il easy navigating for the backs,
yet all of them figured prominently in
long runs toward the Worcester goal.
McDermott did the punting for his
team, and he and Kenney divided hon
ors. Murphy, Hall and McDermott all
figured in long dashes and did timely
defensive work. In a word the whole
Boston team played fine foot ball. Bos-
ton Colleges team yesterday was good
enough 10 whip Holy Cross under any
conditions.
In the second half Holy Cross put up
much SITTER defense, but it was not
stiff enough to hold the terrific rushes
of the Boston backs, and a second
touchdown was the result Of B0ston's
work in that half The Boston col
legians adopted the same methods of
advance as used in the first Of the
game The Boston backs alternated in
carrying the ball and attacking first
one side of the centre and then the
other. 1t was a common occurrence to
see big Murphy McDermott or Hall
go down the field for from to Isl
yards at a time, and the playing was
all BOston's way. When Boston College
got the ball inside Holy Cross 5-yard
line, the Worcester team sprung a sur
prise on the natives by holding their
heavy opponents and getting possession
of the ball. 1t was punted cut Of danger
by kenney, and again rushed danger
ously near the Worcester goal line
IhlS time HOLY cross got the pail on d
tumble and kenney again put stiff
foot against it sending it back toward
the centre of the field. The third series
of rushes for a touchdown brought the
coveted > points, and it was Murphy
who was on the ball when it was
doWned behind Holy Cross goal. Here
Richards missed an easy goal. The
ball was wet and slippery, making goal
kicking difficult.
The only plays that characterized the
playing after Boston College made its
second touchdown We're Kenney's two
to land a goal from the field.
When the referees whistle sounded
the end of play, the bail
was in Boston Colleges possession, near
the centre of the field.
The lineup was:
BOSTON Colt 0-HOLY CROSS.
