field and Ties with Wenonah

Wenonah Military Academy football
team came to Penns Grove last Sat
urday and played a tie game with
Penns Grove S football team, with a
final score of Go.
Both teams were evenly matched
and the ball swayed back and forth
from goal line to the other. In
he first quarter Wenonah was held
TOR downs more than once but would
make up for this loss by some wide
end runs by Courtney and forwards to
Ydetzger.
During the first few minutes of play
Wenonah was forced to kick and
Green fumbled on the two-yard lire.
Then Wenonah thinking they were
going over for a touchdown shot a
inc plunge thru centre but Eneler,
who was playing there on the defen-
5ive, piled up the opposing PLAYERS
and when the pile was uncovered Eng
er was covering the ball. Thus
Wenonah's first hopes were lost. Then
Wenonah soon got it's second chance
% score but was not able to take it
Jver because of Engler's strong defen-
jive playing. Metzger caught a for
ward and gained twenty yards before
