host in interference, while Dowd
showed his greatest ability on defensive
play and in breaking up the interference
/ of the Bradfords. Kinsgs best work was
in helping to form interference. He
wasn't run with the ball, as the half
backs were so successful they were used
all the time.
Beckton played by far the best game
| for the Bradfords He was occasionally
hustled out of the way by the Clermont
interference, but he was the only Brad
! ford man who tackled low and effec-
| lively. Gilmore put up a good defensive
game.
/ The work of the officials was eXcep-
| tionally good, although they had to
| overlook smuggling once or twice in the
second half, fearing to cripple either
| team by removing a player.
Bradford won the toss and chose the
| nprth goal, from which a strong wind
| blew almost straight down the field,
giving Clermont the ball to kick DAILY
kicked to Paquette on-the 20-yard line.
M, Dowd tore through the gathering
| Bradford interference and made a
pretty tackle, taking Paquette's feet
| from under him before he got started.
| Gilmore and Richardson were tackled
in their tracks and Clermont got the
ball on downs right away. Burke fun
bled the pass and lost. Moran was
| downed before he got started and the
| ball went back to Bradford on downs.
| One small gain and one failure to gain
was made by Bradford when McGill
tore through the line for Is yards. Brad
ford was held for three downs and Pa
quette punted over Kings head, the
| latter being less than Is yards back of
his line. He chased after the ball and
punted back to mid-field. Gilmore made
three yards and then lost five Rich

interference on end and tackle over,
made 10 yards around the Bradford left

a similar play, bringing the ball to the
