the second varsity team and was lucky
to get away with a scoreiess tie. lmme-

Time after time the scrub backs,
headed by Alan Brown, smashed through
the Nassau line for long gains. on one
occasion making a march down the field
for almost its entire length. eliminating
with drop kick from the 20 yards line
by Brown. The regulars seemed unable
