skin was, there was very little fumb-
ling and, though the game was one
sided, there was now and then good
end run and some good team work, Sc
that altogether the few that were there
| seemed to enjoy the game.
Cony won the toss and chose the west
goal, and it was $50 o'clock when
Kingsley lifted the rubber well into
Brunswick's territory. Brunswick
fumbled on the first play and the ball
came into Cony's possession. A few
short rushes carried the ball across
Brunswick's line. Small making the
first touchdown in just two minutes OF
play. Smith kicked the goal and Cony
had a good start early in the game
with the score to 0.
From the next kick off it was purely
a defensive game for Brunswick
Cony keeping the ball nearly all the
time and making the required five
yards in every instance. On the other
hand Brunswick could not gain on
Cony, only making her distance once
during the entire game. Hussey

principally by straight foot ball, most
of the plays being directed at the
tackles. All three backs were doing
good work, with Hussey being the most
successful i'll gaining ground. Score,
Cony, II; Brunswick. 0.
The third touchdown did not come so
easily. Cony was unfortunate in max

wick was doing her best work. Cony
finally settled down again and kept up
the same tactics of working her backs
through tackles and center until Small
made touchdown. Time. ~ minutes.
Smith missed the goal. The first half
ended soon after, with the ball in
Conys possession just inside of Bruins
wick's territory. Score, Cony, II;
Brunswick, 0.
In the second half Cony varied her
style of play, using end plays and run
ming her ends to good advantage. Ar
ter making a few rushes the prettiest
play of the game was made. when
Small sprinted around Brunswick's left
end for an S0-yard run and a touch
down. Some magnificent interfering

Small circled Brunswick's left for 20

After this the bali was given alter
natelv to Cony's ends and the plays in
yariably worked well. Hichborn
made one end run of 20 yards and San
ford made several fine gains.
The reason for Brunswick not hold
ing Cony better can be summed up in
the fact that her material is mucn
lighter and that she could not with
stand the attacks of Cony's line and
heavier backs. She was so far out
cIassed in this respect that team play
was extremely difficult. Her line play
ed low, but that she was very weak on
defense is clearly shown by the TACT

downs during the entire game. The
