CONDER
IN INTERESTING GAME ALABAMA
soYS VANoulsHED BY SCORE
OF>17 TO 6. sAz-..

The Gender Training School team
of Huntsville met the c. NJ. A. team
on the Academy field Saturday and
went down In defeat by score of II
to 6. The game was more interesting
than the score would. indicate, for it
looked for a time that the visitors
were going to make a runaway game
of 1t. In the first half Gender was far
and away the fastest team c. NJ. A.
has gone against this season. The
ends, Cooper and Humble, were es.
pecially strong and fast ar made re-
peated gains around end, while G. NJ.
A. could not get around the end for
any satisfactory gains. Gender put
up splendid interference. and Co,
lumbia rooters were decidedly uneasy
over the outcome of the game. C. M.
A. made the first touchdown, and that
by accident Failing to gain the neces-
sary ten yards on the first two downs,
c, M. A. punted and the ball rolled
by Conder's quarter behind the goal
line and was secured by c. M. A.
man. G. M. A. kicked goal. The
next touchdown went to the credit of
Condor, though by a very narrow mar.
gin, as on the third down the ball
just did touch C. NJ. AS goal line
Gender kicked goal and the score was
tied, and ended thus on the first half
C. M. A. had recovered from their
over-confdence with. the beginning of
the second half and began to play
wide-awake, sure-enough ball. They
changed their tactics and began to
penetrate Conder's line. After this
the game was no longer in doubt, for
Conder's great weakness was In the
line. Neil, Caruthers and others of
the. C. M. A. men were sent through
the line for repeated gains, and Con-
der simply could not stop them. The
necessary ten yards were made on
nearly every three downs, and it only
became a question of the size of the
score. Neil was superb, and is the
best man at line bucking who has ever
been on the G. M. A. field. Little Ham
ilton played In his usual form, and in
fact nearly every member Of the G
M. A. team played good ball during the
second half. The half Melted the ca
diets two touchdowns and one goal,
and the game ended as stated above
