THE CRIDIRON
Breezy Times Out at Rsidville Yes terday When the All Water.
 burys Won.

my Lawlor arranges q game for the All Waterburys with as strong a team as the Films proved themselves to be yesterday, he will see to It that he has his regular lineup or he will decline to pay. The Films have been waiting all season for a crack at the city champions and they were in great shape yesterday when they faced the Lawlor aggregation. They came very close to pulling out vic tory, and at that, there are those who say that Cooney Rice favored the All Waterburys and thus they were en- abled to come out winners, by a scant majority of one. All Waterburys were lacking three of their best men and several others were in crippled condition, so that the Films laughed to themselves and, felt in advance that victory would be theirs. They were even more confident of 1t when they saw Solberg miss pass, which he hurled over Thompson's head and 1t rolled behind the All Waterturys goal line. They were on top of Thompson in second and the ball was held at the All Waterburys one yard line. Then husky Dan Pickett was sent over the line for touch down, but the goal was not kicked and this failure gave the victory to the All Waterburys.
 Grown desperate by the fact that they had been scored on by an anna teur team, the All Waterburys fought like mad in the remaining few min utes of that first half. They tore through the Films defense and soon had their goal in danger. When the (opportune moment came Legge, who has been playing with Villanova, and who was taking one of the ab- sentees' places on. the All Waterburys went over the line for a touchdown, dangerously close to the out of bounds line. The Films contended that he had gone outside, but Ref cree Rice said differently and right here is where Cooney got in bad with the Films and their followers. Joe Bagley kicked the goal and that set tied the game. In the second half the All Waterburys were battling mostly in the Films territory but there was no scoring done on either side. It was a wild game in every way and on the side lines there was plenty" of excitement. In one of the scrimmages on the field Parella was injured and was carried from the the field with fractured leg and there was no more attention paid to itst than if a'bloody nose had been aad- ministered to the injured man. Ev- cry minute or two the adherents of the two teams were coming together in tactics other than football rules call for. Cooney Rice was made a target for several we'll directed biffs and many left the field looking much different than when they entered the gates. It was a rough house both on the field and off it and the officials and the peaceful citizens were more than happy when the whistle blew for the close of hostilities.
