Up to date football won out for Cap
 tain Gallivans Academy team Satur- day afternoon on the campus against | the team from Mystic by the fnal
 score of 12 to 5. At the end of the | first half the score stood Academy G. l Mystic 0.
 The game was well fought and the | teams closely matched, making the
 contest one of much interest from a ! spectators standpoint, and the variety of play introduced by the home eleven and successfully carried out, turned the game into a most satisfying ex- position of modern football assuring the Academy patrons this season that
 they will see the schoolboys with a full repertoire of the latest plays.
 Against the Mystic line the Acad-
 emy could do little. but Quarterback
 Hendrick uncorked his best strategy
 with scoring results through onside
 kicks. forward passes from Moves to Gailivan, and fake placement kick formation ending in a forward pass that had Mystic mystified.
 There was one injury in the game compelling the retirement of Fullback Mccormick from the Academy lineup with a strained left arm. Casey took his place for the second half. It is not believed McCormick's injury is serious, and it is hoped to have him back after a short rest. scout from Bulkeley attended the game and took notes on the Academy plays. As Mys- tic defeated Bulkeley. to 0, he must have learned that the New London team will have to go some to hand out a losing score to the Academy.
 The first score came with a rush right after Ricketts had kicked off to open the game. The Mystic team, in their black jerseys with an orange band, started a tanning series of plays through the line that carried the ball back to the Academy 50 yard line, aided by penalty of yards on Mys- tic for offside play. Here the ball went to the Academy on downs. On the first snap back Swan was given fine interference for a run outside tackle, reeling off 40 yards before he was downed on the 10 yard line. On the next play Moves circled right end for touchdown in three minutes and then kicked the goal. Score, Academy 6. Mystic o.
 For the rest of the half the ball was almost entirely in the Academy hands, but they could get no further than the Mystic 10 yard line. Half a dozen times it was brought ur here only to have Mystic brace strongly to the defense of their own goal line. Once Hendrick came through, gather ed up the ball after a punt from Moves and sped down the field for a touch down. but it was disallowed because Gebrath had tackled a Mystic runner who had set sail after Hendrick. 9th CT prominent features in the Academy play were a 15 yard forward pass, Moves to GalliVan, the fake placement with forward pass, Moves to Galli- van. and an onside kick recovered by Moves. all bringing the ball to the 10 yard line largely by the individual brilliancy and team work of these two stars.
 In the second half Mystic got it's op- portunity to score early when a punt from Moves went off short to one side and was captured by Mystic on the Academy 30 yard line. From here the Mystic advance was steady to the goal line through short plunges through the line by Farnell, McCabe and Captain Wilcox. The last named was a hard man to stop and finally bucked the center for the touchdown. Dodge fail- ed to kick the goal by narrow mar gin. Score, Academy S, Mystic 5.
 The next score for the Academy came on lively bit of work just aft CT they had suffered a 15 yard pen atty for a forward pass which went beyond Gallivan and hit the ground. Moves made up the distance with a punt, which Hendrick fell on, placing the ball on the Mystic 30 yard line. From here Hendrick lifted a neat lit- tie onside kick over the line, Galli- van was waiting, and. taking the ball after scramble with Mystic man, crossed the line for touchdown which Moves created into a goal. Score, Academy 12, Mystic 5.
 For the rest of the game the Acad- eny played easy. exchanging punts, in which the two Academy ends showed their speed by tackling the Mystic men in their tracks as they re-
