The eleven graduate football players
who compose the Alumni football team
met the aggregation representing the
state university at the Cummings
campus yesterday, and after one Of the
most interesting games of the year,
from spectators point of view, the
contesting teams called il a draw,
neither team scoring.
For two twenty-minute halves the
ball was forced from one side of the
gTidirOn 10 the other. and neither goal
was in danger of being crossed at any
stage Of the game. Contrary 10 the
general opinion the Alumnis we've
badly outplayed in the FIRST half, and
for a few minutes after the kick-off it
licked all day for the Alumni team.
Then the latter braced and held the
students down to even terms. In the
second half the tables were completely
turned, and near the end Of the hair
the Alumni team simply carried the
Varsity of its feet. and nothing but
the call of time prevented a touchdown
for the has beens."
Alumni the Stronger Team.
The Alumni was by far the heavier
and stronger team, but was short of
wind. The call for time was beard ou
nearly every down, as some AlumnGs
yelled for the water wagon. This tCam
was -Grrowfully lacking in team work
ana ed It's gains were made by inc
star work of some individual player

Varsity off its feet, and. on the other
hand, the students made all their gains
by end runs, aided by interference
The fse HneTen on the Alumni broke
through on nearly every down. while
on the defense. and many a time sent
the students back for "A loss. II was
only when the lighter Varsity ends got
started that any distance was -ained.
The students tried line buckinS al first.
but soon discovered that they could not
move the big five, and then gave up
this style of play as bad unierrak-
ing.
Failed to Run the Ends.
As before stated, lack of team work
on the part Of the Alumni was IN t1lt
saved the Varsity. The Alumni did
not get a single man around the end,
on account Of failing to furnish him
with interference. Twice Joe Ander-
son was tried for an end run The
line held all right but the Varsity
ends were around and tackled Ander-
son for a loss
