Norwich bulletin., 1914-11-02


 dge Saturday afternonon by defeating the Academy eleven in the big game of the season on the local campus by the score of 20 to 0. The game was witnessed by the largest crowd of the season and practically the entire stn- dent body turned out and formed an enthusiastic cheering squad under the direction of Charles Young, captain of the baseball team, and Earl Hiscox. Bulkeley. was also out in force and returned to the Whaling town directly after the game to celebrate their tri- umph.
 The Best Team Won
 The game, although one-sided, was very interesting and unquestionably the best team won. The Academy was outplayed in every department of the game and except for the fact that the breaks were their way, Bulkeley's score would have been larger. The play of the Bulkeley eleven was more finished than the wearers of the red and white have seen this season. Four backs lined up on end runs and found no trouble in dumping the Academy ends. who were noticeably outplayed throughout the contest Bulkeley also which worked every time it was used, to the Academy's sorrow, and taken as whole, the game was another tri- umph for the system of Coach Mccoy. Outright here the point may be made that the Academy boys played for all they were worth and whenever an in dividuaI gives the best that is in him he is not made better by victory or worse by defeat.
 DonneIIy's Phenomenal work
 The main factor in Bulkeley's vic- tory was the phenomenal playing of Captain Dudley Donnelly, who fully. merits the distinction of being the greatest football player that ever wore the orange and black of Bulkeley. Whenever he carried the bah his pecu- liar lodging style of running was too much for the Academy players and as a result he always made gain. He did the bunting for Bulkeley and made an average of $50 yards with his soar ing kick. He also kicked off and once he sent the ball over the Academy's goal In addition, he threw the for ward passes and in the third quarter made a 40-yard run for a touchdown shaking off five tacklers on his way through the Academy team.
 At the start of the game N. F. A. hammered the Bulkeley line. which crumbied like paper at first under the terrific pIunges of the red and whites plucky backf1eld, which ran along beautifully until the line began to bulge and finally snap wide open.
 The interference formed by the Bulkeley backf1eld was very noticeable and they opened holes off N. F. A tackles large enough to drive an OK team through comfortably at times and neatly boxed in O'Hearn and IIHull, the ends. as Norwegian sardines.
 Practically all the ground gained by the Academy was through line plungeS and strange to say not once did N. F. A. try the forward pass.
 .Eecbe played great game at tackle, mc king it a tough proposition for gains through his side of the line and made ccveraI good tackles.
 l It was learned Saturday night that Bill Stanieys the star of the Academy remainder of the season. He injured his knee during the game but pluckily played to the finish. On consulting physician it was learned that he may have water on the knee.
 During the half time the N. F. A. rooters in spite of possessing the small end of the score, showed their patriot ism by parading the field by twos headed by the cheer leaders and a modified drum corps, singing and ex changing cheers with the Bulkeley root CTS, whose orchestra responded with their battle hymn. The game follows:

Mo AMillian caught the ball and ran it back eight yards. Then the Academy started to rush the ball down the field in a way that brought hope to the fol- lowers of the red and white.
