goal in serious danger. A thunder
storm cut the game short just as the
Academy scored for the last time,
driving both teams and the spectators
off the field with a few minutes of
the last period to play.
For the losers their rugged quarter
back, Mitchell. was about three-quar-
ters of the team and their only effec-
tive ground gamer. while the Academy
probably had little something on
them in weight and a much better list
of substitutes. Only three halts were
called for injuries, Lawson, Smullens
and Mitchell requiring momentary
rests to get over some hard knocks.
Individually. Captain McCormick's
twisting, squirning runs Swans
catching of the forward pass, good
work by Smith on the same play with
Smullens and Mccormick shooting it.
