They Couldn't Win Without st.
C.. M. A. fool ball met Massey
foot ball team Monday afternoon at
two o'clock in Mt. Pleasant and
after a most desperate fight went
down in defeat by the score of 20 to
6. The field was wet and part of the
game was played in misty rain
1t was decided victory for the
Cadets, despite the fact that the
score was in favor of Massey. There
was no comparison in the two teams.
Massey's team will average up to a
varsity team nearly in every respect
in weight and brute strength, and
the fact that the G. M. A. Cadets
held them to nothing in the first
half and made a touchdown them
selves Is wonder.
In the first half the soldiers out
played Massey at every point Of the
game, but the heavy weight and the
smuggling game that Massey played
soon told on the light weight G. M. A.
bunch and soon beat the life out of
them. At the close of the second
quarter Rainey went over Massey's
goal for a touchdown but fumbled the
ball and failed to recover. it before a
Massey man fell on it and it did not
count. 1t was tough and seemed to
take the life out of the team to a
certain extent. All during the first
half Smiser's men were playing on
the defensive and it was all they
could do to stop the end runs Of
Rainey, Tubb, Whatley and Holt.
singer, but it was noticeable in the
second half that the soldiers were
badly battered up, and many of the
boys we're bleeding. Smiser's men
came back in good shape and in fine
feather.
In few minutes play in the Sec
ond half Richardson pulled off a
thirty yard run around right end and
Crews went over few minutes later
for touch down and Richardson
kicked goal. Score to o. The ball
was soon put In play and it was only
a few mnutes before Richardson
skirted right end for long run and
over for a touchdown Richardson
failed to kick goal. Score Is to Q.
At this stage of the game Massey
waxed rougher than ever, and tack
led the cadets so hard and rough that
a number of men were hurt. Woot-
en- received the kick off and was
tackled by man weighing two hun
dred pounds or more and thrown so
violently to the ground that he ball
bounded out of his arms. A Massey
man recovered the ball, on c. M. AS.
twenty yard line and in few, min
utes later Dunivan, substitute,
fDr Dsnb
ardson again failed to kick goal.
Score 10 to O.. The ball was again

c. M. A. made stubborn stand on

out making any effort to gain he ran
the ball directly in front Of the up
