Betterley did about as much tack
ling IN the line as any player.
The Harvard-Penn game consumed
ever two hours and one-half, because
of numerous delays.
The game at Island park was as
clean an exhibition as could be asked
for. No penalties were inflicted.
Brattleboro was not forced to make
substitution. Considering the fact
that there are only two substitutes, it
was, perhaps. as well.
Frank Moran 5 manager says the
price for his fighter to meet Coffey
again is $4,000. For Willard the figure
is larger. Moran is now starting a
vaudeville stunt.
The Army and Navy both lost their
games the Army because of VILLAIN
ova 5 successful forward passes ana
the Navy because of inability to kick
goals after touchdowns.
Keene had q short, quick, low
thrown forward pass over the center
that worked once, but Referee Mulry
called the play back because Russell
had not been five yards back of the
line.
Tom Shevlin has been called tc the
