with its first year in football ana pay
ing only three games it was one OF the
toughest propositions that Cony mas been
up against and bespeaks great possipiii-
ties for Dexter High.
Dexter chose the north goal on the
tossup and when the whistle blew they
sent Spencer through Cony's line ~ yards
for first down This plunge, with excel
lent interference nearly took the wind
from Cony. Once more this little trick
was tried but Morton and Stuart were on
the lob and gave them to understand
that such plays would not be further
profitable for them. Dexter then tried a
forward pass to Crosby but was inter
cepted BY stuart. who tore down the
gridiron amid confusion and interior
ence and finally landed Il nice touchdown,
adding another point by goal Cony &C
cepted Il kickoff from Dexter and the
first period ended with the bah in Cony
possession.
The second period opened and IN the
first three minutes Of play stuart took IN"
BAH 10 yards for first down. Leighton
next advanced the BAH eight yards. Nor
ton then forwarded tile ball to Harvey
for short pass. The next play Stuart
took it over for five points and then
added 4 point by kicking a goal This
ended tho first half with the score l. to
% in Cony's favor
The second half started i'll with revenge
and determination plainly stamped on the
visages of the Dexter boys ana they
made Cony sit w and take notice. 1t was
the only time that Dexter threatened
NOV !at
who receiving the ball, made an unsuc-
cessful forward pass and lost the ball to
Cony Stuart advancing the ball for first
down The next play Stuart tore through
DeNter's left end for big run but was
forced over the side line. Dexter then
coming into possession Of the pork rind
gave it to Goliath with wireless inStruc-
tons to carry it through Conys left
guard and down the field for a touch
down, but the big and handsome athlete
WAS intercepted in 4 manner that looked
unSentlemanly from the side lines after
he had gone 10 yards. Time was called
for the third period
The fourth period opened with plenty Of
action, but Cony kept the bah continu-
ally in DeXtcr'S territory. When Cony
had reached the opponents l5-yard line it
was third down and Leighton, who was
substituted for Dorsey, who was hurt in
the Gardiner game, showed up to excel
lent advantage IN this advance. Stuart
then carried the ball five yards more.
Time was drawing close ana Cony had
not scored in the second half as they
thought they would Dexter. with won
dcrfuI rccupcrating power. was holding
Cony hard and something had to be done
then or never. so a most audaCious trick
was pulled off. Grcnier, who had not re
ceved 4 pass in the whole game was
put into play, receiving the spheroid on
a pass in a small zone and surrounded
hv the defensive side, ducIled and lodged
and with two men clincing TO him. ad-
vanced the bali over the line for q touch
down. Cony lost an opportunity for three
more points by technical error. Short
ly the game ended. Score: Il to 9.
The game throughout was character
lied by clean playing on both sides and
aggressivenesS on the part Of Dexter.

lights on DeXters side and Morton.
