game of football that has been seen In
the Interscholastic league this season was
that played yesterday afternoon between
teams from Pawtucket and East Provi-
dence on the grounds OF the latter team.
Pawtucket won by scoring one single
touchdown and a goal. 1t was a finely
played game. both teams playing In gilt
edged style.
There was a record breaking crowd of
spectators, the side lines being packed
TWO and three deep. and at times the ex-
element was intense.
Although the crowd was unusually big
for high school game the police held
II In check. the seven officers under Ser
geant Everett Adams OF the East Provi-'
dence force doing efficient work.
The fight put up by East Providence
yesterday, after the poor showing in the
Technical game last week was the sur
prise OF the season, and while Pawtucket
won the game fairly. II is only fair TO the
losing team 10 say that IL gained the
most ground and it's costly tumble prob
ably lost IL the game~
As the visiting team was a little late
in arriving on the field the game was
not begun until $3.50 and then East Provi-
dence opened up the excltement by kick
Ing OF to Pawtuckets 15-yard line The
ball was brought back six yards by As
pinwall before he was downed: then both
teams quickly lined up for the fray. On
the first line play by Pawtucket the visi-
tors did not gain ascot Pawtucket, how
ever. managed to follow with short gains
until the ball was on its 35-yard lire. and
then East Providence held for downs and
secured the ball. Pawtucket was of side
on the first play and the home team was
given FIVE yards Sneod led off with a
three-yard gain between right tackle and

rate he went down before being tackled
and Aspinwall fell on him. With the
ball on Pawtucket's So-yard line and in
the home teams possession time for the
end OF the first half was called.
The fine showing by the home team In
the first half gave Pawtucket scare,
and during the intermission the visitors
were given some sound advice by the
Pawtucket team managers The second
half opened disastrously for East Provi-
dence, however, as the tumble and score
described above occurred.

the home teams five yard line and Smeed
advanced the ball 10 yards. walker cut
loose again and with another end run.

the ball to Pawtucket's a-yard line,
where a brace by Pawtucket's line forced
East Providence to punt. Pawtucket got
the ball and had advanced IL 10 yards,
when the whistle blew for the end OF
