administered a coat Of Calcimine 10 the
GurIsy Athletic Club by J. to 0.
Both teams showed lack Of practice.
while Gurley was considerably weak
ened by the loss Of four Of its best

forward pass for gains, using TINS play
in tight places. Smith and Miller
worked this play successfully several
times. and by IL Warwick scored its
first touchdown. When Warwick
kicked TO Gurley in the opening session
the hall was fumbled on Gurleys 20
ward line. A Warwick man recovered
the ball, and on the next play Smith
made an accurate throw 10 Miller, who
ran the distance unheeded for the first
touchdown.
