under the veteran old country referee,
John Anderson, and at the scirl Of his
whistle the ball was set in motion and
INthe game was on. The first half was

KIND of luck and their play, which was
clean cut and smart, was at least wor-

second half was more evenly contested,
each side scoring one goal. The final
score: New Haven Rangers, goals;
Westerly, ! goal.

thing more and greater, so that he
shall become patriotic citizen al a
