Camp Devens. coached by Percy
Haughton. defeated Camp Upton in an
interesting battle on the Polo Grounds
this afternoon by a score OF to Q.
The Camp Devens team won the
game Immediately after the second
period started on a brilliant eO-yard
run by Lieut.. Minot. the former Har-
ward star. Minot was easily the shin
ing light of the battle. He gained con-
siderable ground for Devens and in
tercepted several forward passes
which Upton attempted.
Upton lacked experience as this was
its FIRST and perhaps only game OF the
season. Its line held up well except in
the first half when Minot broke
through for his long run. Only once
did Upton threaten to score. This was
near the end OF the game when two
penalties gave Upton the ball on its
opponents 20-yard line. Whatever
hopes Upton had OF scoring went
aglimmering when Minot intercepted
forward pass by Click.
