as hoped and the membership OF
the association for the year coming

THE THANKSGIVING GAME

An ideal day. an enthusiastic crowd,
two evenly matched teams. both In
I nding to win made the Thanksgiv-
ing game. between the College and
Academy one of unusual interest.
The fairness and promptness Of the
referee, John WEIGH. added much TO
the interest and spiciness Of the
game and was commented upon by
all who understand football.
On the Academy team the tack
ling by McGregor and Jones was ex-
cellent and Saxton did the strongest
work OF the game in bucking the
line. A weak line formation made II
impossible for the Academy to strike
their opponents with the snap and
vigor that good line work demands
On the College side Clinton Jones,
Douglas and Robinson did splendid
tackllng, while Muntz at Center by
repeated lunges over the Academy
line worried their quarter and half
backs. causing many fumbles and
much uncertain playing.
Both teams were rather weak IN
offensive play. Generally the inter-
ference was In fair form but was
easily broken up and was rather slow.
The College kicked off in the first
quarter and kept the ball in AGA
DENY territory, time being called
with the ball In the possession Of
the College team and on the
Academy twenty-five yard line.
The College team opened the sec
ond quarter with fake play between
Hoffman. the quarterback. and Jones.
the right half. The entire College team
dropped into position for an end run
by Jones. The Academy team rushed
in and broke up the end play. tack
ling Jones vigorously. but left an
open field thru which Hoffman, af-
ter a feint TO pass Jones the ball.
carried the pig skin back OF the
Academy goal, making the only score
Of the entire game. Chambers failed
TO kick goal leaving the score s to
D in favor Of the college.
In the third quarter the Academy
kicked off and kept in College terri
tory most OF the time. Neither team
scc red.
The Academy had the best OF II
.hruout the fourth quarter. At one /
lime they were within about three
ards Of their opponents goal. but
he ball went to the College on downs
md was punted into somewhat safer
erritory. The game closed with the
inc up close enough to the College
,oal to keep the interest OF the
rowd at a high pitch. and TO hold
