is to ascribe undue economy TO the heat

MIDI. Loses to New York College.

The third consecutive defeat of the
season was received by the Middlebury
eleven last Saturday when they
journeyed to New York and met defeat
at the hands of the strong Fordham
team by the score of go.
Fordham made her first score in
about five minutes after play began,
rushing the ball from the middle of the
field over the line by co animation of
plunges and skin tackle plays. Imme-
diately following Middlebury, solving
Fordham weak line began to smash
the holes for yardage and swept every
thing before them.
In the second period when Middlebury
had rusht d the ball to the two yard line,
and the chances for a score looked
bright. indeed. the referee summary
put an end to their hopes by taking the
ball away from them, claiming that the
pass was not made from distance of
five yards back.
In the third period Fordham sue
ceeded in adding two more scores to
their collection. In the last period
Dunn made spectacular twenty yard
run for touchdown and toward the
close Fordham again secured the ball,
Middlebury fumbling a poor kickoff.
The back field secured twenty yard
gains consistently and the game ended
with the ball in the 20 yard region.
Unfortunately the game was marred
by several disputes in which Middlebury
invariably received the worst of the
deal and on two occasions lost the ball
at critical moments on disputed de-
cisions
