All Holy Cross players did fine work
Inc team was again shaken up for
the last home game of the season, sew
eral important changes being made.
The shakeup worked well against the
weakness of Vermont.
Capt. Kenney played a magnificent
game as usual. He was star in all
departments. Vermont could not
stop his PUSHES at the line When they
played high he tore through a hole he
tween them and when they Law low
to trip him he hurdled the line and
made his length. His punting was a
feature OF the game. Bringing back
the ball yards on kicks from the other
side, he put his toe against it with, It

Cross gained yards.

one from his own position and one
from right half. He ran IS yards and
10 yards. He shook off tacklers as a
terrier shakes a rat. He was not once
stopped from in front. He was pulled
down on both long runs by Waddell,
the sturdy guard, who came up from
behind
O'Reilly also played a star game. He
was down the field on punts in fine
style and not once did the Vermont men
bring back the ball Even on the kick
otts when the ball was sent to the five
yard line, O'Reilly was close up and
only allowed a few yards gain He
tackled well. Nothing got around his
end except the wind. He made several
star plays which cut off hopes of Yer
mont when directed at the other end
or Holy Cross line. Vermont pulled its
ends back and gave the left end the
ball to skirt the Holy Cross left where
Hahn had made so many good gains.
Vermont massed a really good inter-
ference, which was directed at Mona
han, But O'Reilly got after the play
fast and tackled the Vermont end from
behind, throwing him with losses vary
ing from to IA yards.
Toohig and Conner did exceptionally
good work in the line. All the line men
outplayed their opponents including
carney of the base ball team, who
played his first game Of foot ball yes
terday and was against Waddell, the
best man of the Vermont line. Carney
made holes well and stopped plays di-
rected at him after the first few got

e.,
played we'll He was down the field al
most as soon as the ends, and once got
the ball on a tumble, when O'Reilly
tossed the back after he dropped the
ball. Sullivan distinguished himself by
several star tackles. He ran the team
finely, banging plays at Vermont's line
with such rapidity the visitors didn t
know where they were at. There was
considerable holding and some off-side
play during the early part of the con-
test. Vermont complained, but its men
were as big offenders as Holy Cross
The star feature of the game was the
kicking of Kenney In addition to his
superiority at punting, he dropped two
goals from the field on place kicks. One
was from the 25-yard line, Kenney be-
ing directly in line with the posts
when Sullivan put the ball down for
him The other was magnificent
kick 1t was from the 97-yard line and
at a considerable angle. Kenney sent
1t over as true as a rifle bullet. The
line held Vermont back as easily as If
they were pigmies while Kenney kicked.
Vermont had the advantage of the
wind during the entire game. 1t was
at their backs when the first half be-
gan and in the last half 1t swung
around when the teams changed fields.
Kenney startled the crowd by the
first magnificent run. Holy Cross mad
