DINGWALL'S WINNING GOAL
Makes a Drop Kick in Final
Period That Gives Victory !
to Brooklyn Boys.

abled Manual Trainings football eleven
to emerge the victor in the conflict with
De witt Clinton yesterday by a score OF 10
to 13 in a game played at Eastern Park,
Brooklyn. The right halfback was the
hero of the battle, for his team a greater
part of the time proved sluggards.
The entire strength of Manuals game
lay in the phenomenal passing carried on
by her back field, IN which Harmon
loomed above Hall, Tapolow and the ag-
gressive quarterback, ZeitZ. At punting
Dingwall, the captain OF the gold and
blue, proved host in himself. Several
times when Clinton's line held like
rock Dingwall punted sixty and sixty-five
yards in sensational fashion. ~
For Clinton, Wacher, the fullback, bone
the brunt OF the punting. But his boot
ing was not to be compared with the per-
formances on Manuals side nor did
Haaren or Captain Moore ever approach
Dingwalls length and certainty Of aim.
Clinton played fast, straight football In
manner that left little TO be desired.
The line never broke and hurled back
Manual time and again when It was on
the point of scoring. The Crntons tack
players went with unerring instinct after
the ball. Manual was so weak in this re-
spect that its tackling was not to be COM
pared with Clintons. 80
Still somewhere in its mechanism CliR-
ton lacked the decisive punch. 1t was
the initial defeat for the wearers of the
red and black, and It probably eliminated
the team from the race for the interschol-
astic championship honors, in which Man
ual takes the leading position, with only
the High School OF Commerce between IL
and an unclouded title. SO
The cohorts of Manual had rallied for
the match and the big stand was we'll
half filed with wearers Of gold and bllle
streamers. Only a handful of Clinton's
followers occupied a corner of the stand
and they made wheezy effort at cheer
ing and song. AS it was the first defeat
for Clinton there was a hush at the end
that spoke OF the agony OF partisan spirir
in having victory snatched away at the
last moment.
Clinton kicked off, Harmon catching
the ball and being downed in his tracks
by the quick moving advance of Black
and Red. Right there Manual found that
il could do nothing against Clinton's line.
After three downs Harmon punted and
on a tumble By Clinton got the ball. Then
Zeitz sent forward pass floating over TO
Harmon, who after twisting through a
Clinton tackle fell with the ball. Just IN
front OF the Clinton goal Manual man
aged TO push Clinton back a yard for
Harmon to score the first touchdown OH
the next play, which was within four
minutes OF the kickoff. Dingwall missed
the goal. During the balance OF the
quarter Clinton, with Moore, Murphy
and Wacher fighting desperately, threat
ened the Manual goal, but could not quite
make Il. Moore made a sensational run
as the quarter closed, recovering one OF
Tavisette's punts and running the BAH
back slXty-iiye yards. E
At the beginning Of the second quarter

was one OF the best bits Of work Manual
achieved. for It was exactly three plays
from the centre Of the field to the touch
down. Again Dingwall missed the goal.
Murphy's end runs, along with line
