Brun6WloK, OCCOD6r l0,--l3OWUOlu u.s.
feated Tufts today by a score OF 8 to 0
The game was hotly contested from
start to finish and every inch OF the
ground gained was hard fought. The
score does not show the decided superi
GRITTY OF the Bowdoin team. The line was
like q rock and withstood attack after at
tack of the Tufts backs who hurled
themselves against it with great force.
Bodwol at center played the game of his
life. He was in almost every play and
frequently tackled the half backs on
tackle plays Phipps, the big right guard,
kept his man guessing. On the defensive
he stood like stone wall ami not gain
was made through him during the entire
game while on the offensive he and Bod
we'll opened up holes at will. Cloudman,
who was up against the hardest man on
the Tufts team was as steady as the rest
and rushed the ball like half back. The
three backs played for all there was in
them. Uptons line bucking was as
good as has been seen on the Bowdoin' 5
gridiron. Hunts end-running was all
that could be desired, while Gregson
baseball captain, played at quarter and
put up good game, especially at rushing
the ball back on the kickoff.
Tufts full back was good man in
both line-bucking ana punting and both
half backs did some first class rushing in
the second half. The whole team played
hard but try as they could they could
