THIS WOE the game. for although good

1naini"r OF the game neither side was
able to score.
Cony put up q game that lacked hut
littl" of being perfect. Their defensive
playing was Of the gilt edged order. CT
70 time lid they permit the visitors 70
max" long gains. AS soon as the ball
fell into their hands they made things
lively. Time after time Craig went
around LewiStCn's end for good gains.
This was done by most excellent inter
ferancr on the part Of the remainder Of
the team. Cony. who played right end
on the local team. did some excellent
tacklin2. In fact if one was 10 men
ton those who played good football for
Cony il would be but 4 repetition OF
their lineup.
