U. OF NJ. ends that Bowdoin did I'll

The great redeeming feature of the
home teams playing was Hadlock' $
beautiful interference. If it mad not
been for the plucky little quarter,
Cloudman could never have made some
of the phenomenal runs which We're

70 and 30 yards and once made dash

by her opponents backs, and We're
fooled once to such good purpose by
the old criss-cross trick that A. Clark
was able to score from the center of
the field.
Palmer and Hatch played almost the
whole game for U. of M. in reality.
Hatch is the lightest man on the team,
but it was beautiful to see the way he
would strike the line. He is a good
back and if all of the men had played
as he did, the result might have been
different. Palmer is another light man,
but he is star and did fine work at

ball and made a good kick sending the
sphere down for 25 yards. 1t was
caught by Hunt, who advanced it five
yards before he was downed.
