when Greek meet Greek then
comes the tug of war That was the
case on Academy Field Friday after
noon when the G. M. A. Alumni went
against the G. M. A. 1912 team. The
game was hard fought battle and
was draw to 0.
The Alumni looked a terrific foe
for the light weight c. M. A. squad,
and for the first quarter practically
all of the playing was in c. M. AS.
territory and the same was the case
in the second quarter, but only once
did the alumnia get within goal dis
lance in the first half, and they we're
stopped by terrific onslaught of the
fighting cadets. Again in the second
half the cadets held them for dawns
when the ball was mighty close to the
goal, and three times Red Smith was
stopped when it looked like he was
good for touchdown.
In the second half Quarterback
May got away around left end and
ran for fifty-five yards and came near
getting clear away, but was stopped

Rainey played a star game for the
cadets and was like cyclone to the
Alumni when he struck them and was
hard to stop, he was the only man on
the C. M. A. team that was hard to
tackle and stop when he got to soing

May and Rainey did some sensational
stunts at tackling. Whatley and Ell

At about 1870, but every pound is grit
and nerve. Sheck Stevens was laid
out early in the game with a broken
collar bone and Anderson was put in
