slippery and hard to handle. 1t was
one OF the best games that was ever
played on Alumni field The two tea ms
were very evenly matched, ana
throughout the whole game they
struggled up and doWn the field, MAX
irs, no long gains. Using straight foot
bali with but few end runs 1t was no
use to try tricks, as the condition OF the
field would not permit it.

were fair and just, and gave good sat
i3faction to both teams.

tances, and the same can be said Of
Maine, but at the critical time there
was either a tumble or a hold for
downs In the middle Of the first half

line and skin tackle plays, the bail be-
ing ON Bates' 15-yard lire, but there
was q tumble and time was called for
