Completely swept off their feet By
the terrific onslaughts made against
their line, ~outgencralled in clever
trick plays and completely surprised
by the magnificent form of their OPP
ponents. the cadet team from the El
Paso Military institute went down 20
ignominious defeat before the speedy
University of New Mexico eleven on
the Traction park gridiron yesterday
afternoon.
The game was a splendid exhibition
of rugby n the large crowd of low
ers of the sport who Witnessed the
contest We're well repaid for their
journey to the park. 1t was a clean
cut, decisive victory for the Varsity.
Early in the game the FL Paso play
ers saw that the L. y. NJ, team was
in the contest for victory. anxious to
redeem themselves for the game at Ell
Paso last Tuesday, in which the Var

terday the l.. y. NJ. boys demonstrate
ed their superiority on the gridiron,
beating the Cadets to q standstill and
making three more points than the
soldier boys made over them in the
former game.
The only thing the FL Paso boys
had over the local boys was their
forward passes. on several occasions
Van Surdam, who was easily the star
for the visitors, threw pretty forward
passes, good for substantial gains. The
passes, however. were worked both
ways. Several times they were I'M
successful, and Varsity men got hold
of the pigskin, to the disaster of the
Cadets. The revolving wedge plays,
used with such good effect by the
Cadets in Tuesdays game, went for
naught yesterday. In fact, the Cadets
were kept busy guessing all the time.
Whether on the offensive or defens-
i've plays, the Varsity men were on the
job all the time-persistent. aggres-
sive and determined. While their vic
tory oven the visitors was decisive and
complete, the Varsity boys earned
their points by The sweat of their

but it finally changed hands. With
the ball in FL Paso's hands, the VAR

to L. y. NJ. again. Then began an
