hey field by the score of ~ to o. Not
one for moment did the Pittsfield boys
a ghost of a show, and only on one or
| two occasions did they make long
gains. They lost the ball, however,
soon afterward either by punting or
fumbling, so that their efforts netted
but little material gain. Starting off
with a touchdown made in less than
minute after the game had started.
the Coburn boys ploughed at will
through the visiting teams line and
ran circles around its ends. and scored
more than a point of every minute Of
play.
Absolute lack of ginger, coupled with
the smashing attacks of Goburn com
pletely demoralized the NJ. G. /. de-
Tense and despite the desperate at
tempts of their coaches To bolster
up the weakened team and to in
fuse new spirit, the Coburn backs con-
tinued to batter their opponents line
at will.
E Goburn won the toss and Green
kicked to Fraser on the 20-yard line
and he ran it back % yards. Then
before the NJ. c. |. team could recover
from the first clash, Williams had
skirted their right end for 50 yards
and touchdown. Libbey kicked the
goal
The Pittsield boys then found
themselves for a few moments. Rus
sell and Donnell and Rogers. aided
by an offside penalty made first down,
and then repeated the trick. Things
were working well, hut an intercepted
forward pass gave Coburn and ball on
her own 4o-yard line. Good substan-
tial end runs by Belger and Williams
and straight line bucking by Fraser
brought the ball to NJ. G, rs. 4yard
line, and with one might rush Fraser
carried ii across. Lbbey failed at an
other easy goal.
Coburn kicked to the visitors to
their own I0-yard line. Donnell car

ton and Donnell failed to make first
down and Russell punted to Libbey.
The crimson and gold warriors then
took the ball down the field in jumps
of 10, 20 and 80 yards and the period
closed with the ball on NJ. C. Is. 20

no more scoring in the second period.
coburn was pushing the oval right
along on a straight line with the up
rights. but a tumble gave McCausand
a chance TO cover the ball and he did.
Ellis and Russell exchanged places in
this period, and it proved a great help
to the visiting teams backfield.
The third and fourth periods were
a repetition of the first two. Coburn
was the only big word. Belger. Will
liams and Fraser had things their own
way with occasional spurts of ANNA
tion-very occasionally the Pitts
field eleven when they got possession
of the ball. Sprague picked forward
pass out of the air intended for Whit
ten and romped sleefully down the
field for a touchdown.
The fourth period opened with the
ball in midfield. 1t was just mat
ter of rushing the ball down the field
and putting over. Libbey took it
across for the first touchdown of the
period Williams followed has good
example, a few moments later. Fraser
went across for two more, and Belger
and Williams each got another.
