We're forced on the defensive the
greater part of the game by the SUI
perior line attack of the Green and

the game came in the initial period
when, after holding Colebrook for
downs, the Academy backs started a
steady drive to their opponents goal
line, where Capt. Cramton carried
the sball over.
Colebrook Showed Brilliant Flashes.
At times Colebrook showed flashes
Of brilliant play, butt invariably the
attack diminished as the st, j. A.

the latter part of the game the New

attack that for time looked danger

time too late to be taken full adj

clamton was the greatest ground
gamer for the local aggregation but
was given better interference from
the backline men than in earlier

headwork by his fellows behind the
