season in a blaze OF glory yesterday by
defeating Mount st. Mary's College, to

one OF the prettiest exhibitions of the

kind of work that Clancy was able to
make the only touchdown of the game.

University has a speedy air OF ends, and
it was seldom that the Mount st. Mary s
backs were able to gain around them.

at right half back, and put up hne
game, tearing or several long end runs
and running many Of the punts back

of the game, for he handled his team
in great shape, and made long gains
himself. The field goal that Hfnchman
kicked In the third quarter sailed over
the middle Of the uprlghts and put the
Brooklanders safely In the lead.
Capt. Clancy, at left half back, put up
a star game, and showed the best form
this, year. He made substantial gains
through the line and around the ends,

resort to punting q good deal, and sew
