before a crowd of $500 schoolboy enthu-

eliminated as a contender for the So

Credit is due the losers for the game

weakened, shot TO pieces by the loss OF

halfbacks, and although the substitutes
played desperate football, the machine

It glided along with power in every
thrust.
But had Manual been represented by
its best team the result would probably
have been the same. The field was
heavy and soggy from the heavy show
ers in the morning, and the Blue and
Gold, depending upon speed in It's
attack. was never really able to get
going. The backs foundered about in
the mud and Clinton's line, heavy and
hard charging, ripped through TO pile
the plays up behind the line. Gilmore

the defence, and stopped the end runs
and tackle bucks with ease.
