In football struggle full of tense | moments from start to finish, the Acad- emy teaSn played tie game, 12 to 12
 with Bulkeley Saturday afternoon, al l Armstrong park m New London BulkeleS had the field marked and rop- ed off, ss commendaple feature in con trast to other years. but the Academy | had to go through the apparently in evitable experience in New London of having the rowdy element of the town l dominate the field and almost precfp- | itate a riot in the last half. It seems about time that the Bulkeley school authorities woke up to an effort to give visiting academy teams the same de- cent treatment Bulkeley gets on the N. F. A. campus.
 Manager Joe Worth of the Academy team who was timekeeper, put in some of the most narrowing moments of his experience this year, as the. crowd got after him, pulling and hauling him about. under the impression that he was lengthening out the second half, which was prolonged because of the almost constant wrangling of Bulke- ley team. The Academy manager was also followed up to the city by some of the hotheads.
 On the merits of the plays, the game went to the Academy, as Bulkeley's credit for q tie game was clouded by mixup over an officials whistle, which allowed the New London eleven to make one touchdown, when the ball was understood to be out of play.

 Second Half.
 The second half started with a rush Bulkeley kicked to Hendrick, who ran fifteen yeards. The Academy couldn't gain and 1t was BpIkeley's ball on the Aeademy's 90 yard line. On the next play Referee Worse gave one of the rankest kind of decisions against the Academy. Bulkeley tried an end run and a whistle was blown. The Acad- emy players then stopped playing and the Bulkeley runner tripped and fell. Seeing the players were in conver- sation with the officials he sat there on the ground until some Bulke1ey player shouted to him to. get up and run over the line, which he did. The referee called this a touchdown. This could not be considered a legitimate play. as the ball was on the ground at least a minute or two. Beebe kick ed the goal. tying the score.
