Trinity College had little trouble in de.
feating the badly Shaken New York Uni
versity eleven I'm their annual football
battle on Ohio Field yesterday. The final
score was IS to In Trinity's favor. and
It could have been much greater IL the
Hartford team had put the snap and
drive into it's game in the final half that
Il did in the first period. The New York
eleven, which has gone through most
disastrous season, failed TO hold Hudson,
the Trinity fullback, In his flashing runs.
and was clearly outplayed both Often
sively and defensively.
Trinity took the master hand at the
kickoff, hammered its way into New
York territory, and in few minutes
pushed the ball across for a touchdown
II was almost the same in the second
quarter, when, on a piece Of we'll sls-
tanned rushing, of which Hudson bore the
brunt, tho ball was carried across for the
second score. When the half ended tbs
tally was II to for Trinity Trinity
came within an ace of getting another
touchdown in the third period, but New
York held on it's 5-yard line. In trying 10
get the ball down the field, however, New
York failed utterly, for a pass from the
centre rolled behind the goal line, where
a New York man fell on it for a safety.
Hudson, who Va the shining star on
the Trinity eleven OF year ago. played
top notch game yesterday, but hardly
up to the high standard he set last fall
If anything he seemed little out OF con-
dtion, and hesitated slightly before taxi
ing up his plays. His handling Of the ball
was not clean and twice he made fun

University This fault may have been
due to overea gerness.
The chief faults of the New York team
were crudeness and inability to match
wits with the quick thinking Hartford
eleven. Wiener was the only man on tie
team who seemed to know what 10 20
and when TO do IT, His tackling was
feature for he brought his man down
with dispatch. and it was seldom that
even Hudson could get more than yard
through his side OF the line.
There was little open football and less
kicking I'm the game. Each team tried
three or four forward passes, and only
one. a long toss by Huntley. the New
York quarterback, to Mckay. was good.
II lost its effectiveness, however, be-
cause there had been holding in the line
and the ball was called back.
Trinity didn't punt more than half
dozen times all told. Sage, who did the
kicking, got off some good drives despite
the handicap Of poJr passing by Kinney.
One of Sage's punts carried more than
sixty yards, and MS average distance was
we'll over fifty yards. He tried drop
kick In the first half. but the pass was
poor and the kick was blocked.
A tumble by Huntley put Trinity in
position to get its first touchdown New
York had the ball on its l0-yard line
when Huntley let it slip out OF his hands
and Moore grabbed it up for Trinity.
