Norwich bulletin., 1909-11-08

The Academy football team had its colors lowered for the first time this season on Saturday, losing at Mystic to the Mystic team by the score oi Is to 6. Mystic outweighed the Acad- emy boys about twenty pounds to a man and gradually wore down Captain Gallivan's lighter Academy eleven which scored it's single touchdown in the first half, while the Mystic points were all accumulated in the second 1 period of play, when the N. K. A. line | was hit for repeated gains, but few end runs were tried
 l Besides losing the game, the Acad- | emy suffered a serious catastrophe in an injury to the big tackle, Welles, who had his ankle so badly sprained that he will be out of the game for the rest of the season. This occurred with about ten minutes left to play and Welles had to be carried from the field. As he was the biggest and strongest man in the line and the mainstay of the kicking department his absence will mean big loss to the team.
