Then the A. q NJ. boys got together

was noticeable absence of any attempt
to guy their defeated opponents that was
a great Improvement over former years.
By no means the least enjoya-
BILE feature Of the game was the
utter absence of brutality, fouling and
kicking to kill time. On both sides the
game was clean, gentlemanly and sports
manlike and the people here will be
glad to see the Bingham boys on the
local gridiron any time they may come
to retrieve pluckily lost game.
The tackling of Clay and the kicking
of Winston for Bingham and the run
ming of Newton and Caseriy for A. "
NJ. were features of the playing.
