Glee Club and Clinton Game at Lighthouse Yesterday Re suits in Forfeit for
 Glees.
HARRY GREEMBERG STARS
Tousley and Alderman Play Strong for Clintons: Kclehcr, Frechcttc, Cahill and Codcn for Wash-
 ington Team.

Strengthened by three N. H. IT. S. stars, the Clinton football team put up one of the pluckiest battles of the season, when they fought the strong Washington Gce club eleven at the Lighthouse grounds yesterday in a contes which terminated in a dis pute and subsequently, into forfeit ed contest for the Glee continent by a i to bulletin.
 A tremendous crowd, who contin- ually kept making inroads upon the grldlron, spelling the course of play. witnessed one of the prettest and cleanest fought football contests seen at the point this year. Both eevens were evenly matched and bitterly con tested every inch of ground.
 With ten minutes to finish the con- test and the score telling 0 to 0 game the Glees were hammerlng the Cllntons' line, within thirty-hve yards of the Clintons' goal. Three rushes had been made and Dave" Splalne. the end and captain of the Annex, was heard to call out third down and one yard to make. On the next play the Clintons held strong and after a tumble, which one of their men fell on the Glees had still a half foot to make. Referee Splaine then an- nounced third down for the Glees and half foot to go,
 The Clintons on hearing this vigor- ously protested and claimed a fourth down for the Glees and first down for them. After much heated argument the Cllntons indignantly took their team off the field. Splaine was willing to let the teams rush the play over, but the Cllntons claimed first down. and would play under no other ar rangement. As last resort the team turned to Connolly of the N. H. Fl. s. for his opinion, but the umpire stated that he did not have anyning to say upon the matter
 Darkness was beginning to settle over the gridiron when the Glees de- manded a final decision and Splaine declared forfeited game for the Glees The unexpected dispute which arose at the latter part of the game, altogether marred what might have proved one of the deciding games | for the amateur championship of the season.
 Arrangements for another contest between tnese two teams is expected to be made Harry Greenberg was the mainstay of the Clinton team and assisted by Alderman at end, Frankel and Tousley as guards, made matters lively for the Gecs The strong and powerful playing of Greenberg at full back drew forth considerable praise from the immense crowd for he hurled himself Into the thick of the fray at every turn. The Clintons de- pended upon him for their ground gaining, and the Glees had their hands full trying to stop the sturdy fullback Tousley at guard was unusually strong, and work at that position was exceedingly strong at all times, and | with Alderman to assist him little could be gained on that side of the | line.
 The Glee club back field was the same strong offensive and defensive players. pushing Into every place with great vim and vigor Rushing Cahill Keleher netted fifteen yards for his team Frachette and Coden came next and duplicated the stunt.
 on the kick off the unscored on Glees secured the ball and in a con tinuous procession advanced towards tho Clinton goal On the l0-yard line | the Clintons settled and held the Glees for downs, zigaagging back and forth of the pigskin followed and at the end of the half the ball was at the mid dle of the field.
 Only one forward pass was used and that successfully by the Glees in the second half Straight football was resorted to throughout and after ten minutes play, the dispute arose. GIcc Club. Clintons. M, Cahill .,...,..,.,,.....' SulllVan
