Holy Cross and Boston College pro-
vided a mixup that contained all ele-
ments of football and pugilism.
Murphy, the Boston College full
back, was very Ansonesque at the
kicking game. Murphy fused and
fumed during the entire period Of play.
West Point gave Princeton hard
rub for honors. The cadets have done
wonders this season and the team APP
pears fully as strong as any of the first
class elevens.
Holy Cross outplayed Boston College
yesterday and there are scores of sup
porters of the Purple who are firmly
of the opinion that better team has
never represented Holy Cross.
Worcester High School has but a
week to get into shape for the most
important battle of its season. The
eleven must brace to make a respecta-
BILE showing against the Academy.
Charlie Dooley, the Montreal man
ager is said to have received instruc-
tons to sell the club. The chances of
Montreal being dropped from the East
ern League circuit seems to grow daily
Dartmouth has not beaten Brown
at football in II years, but this season
her hopes have been raised to the high
est point and the Hanover contingent
has high hopes of swapping the Prov
| idence collegians.
The annual game with Boston Col
lege at Boston, Thanksgiving Day
ought to be played and competent men
should be engaged as officials. Under
such conditions, there would be all
kinds of glory in victory.
-McCabe should remember that
football is not pugilism and that fisti-
cuffs don't count in football. There is
no reason why such brawny youth
as McCabe should consider 1t necessary
to resort to smuggling tactics.
The Thanksgiving Day game in Bos-
ton will be a great drawing card. 1t
Is not positive that Boston will be
whipped. Once Holy Cross played
Boston College to a tie in Worcester
and was trounced II to at Boston.
"A game between Tufts and Holy
Cross at Springfield has been proposed
in place of the Boston College-H Holy
Cross game Thanksgiving Day, but
such an attraction would be weak com
pared to meeting of the great rivals.
Brown made a splendid showing
against Lafayette yesterday. Lafayette
is counted one of the best teams in the
country outside the big five, but the
Providence team braced wonderfully
and may retrieve itself in the remain
ing games.
Pooch Donovan, while playing at half
back on the second team against the
regulars at Worcester Academy yester-
day, showed that he is one of the clev-
crest lodging halfbacks in the country.
In end runs, Donovan is a thriller and
he streaks around opponents in daz-
zing fashion.
Yesterday Holy Cross made two
splendid gains by resorting to STRAIT
egg. After intending to hold a tea
party to arrange a play, the Purple
lined up and executed the play without
signals being called Although Boston
College braced in preparation for such
a move, the Holy Cross lads got the
jump and gained ground.
Keen, the burly young man who
played opposite Capt. Lawlor yester-
day, is former captain of Boston
College. Keen was formerly a member
of Salem High School. Zeus Roberts
the Harvard centre broke In as guard
on the same team. Hanlon, the Dart
mouth end and Ives and Goodhue of
the Harvard squad were also members
of the same eleven.
The aftermath had it's humorous
features. By invitation of Holy Cross,
the Boston College eleven dined at the
college. When the teams were leaving
the field, two Boston College men were
quietly discussing the dinner that had
been booked and one of them jokingly
expressed the opinion that the invita-
ton might be recalled. A youngster in
a group of Holy Cross supporters who
had heard the statement, blurted out
"Gwan with yer! Ye ought to be
locked up in a bakeshop with a muz-
zle on the whole gang of veri"
