The Flyers" from Garden City and
the men from Camp Devens have been
| playing at the game of war and they
carried war on TO the football field. The
elevens started playing savage football
at the start AS the game progressed
the technique of the gridiron was thrown
! to the Winds and soldier and birdmen
started settling things in the Old cave
| man way. Before the end OF the game
| Captain Hoban of Devens was banished
! for unnecessary roughness" and his
| team penalized half of the distance TO
the goal line. and Mahan OF Garden City
also chased Off the field. with his team
/ mourning the same penalty. There were
half dozen impromptu scraps" that
apparently escaped the eyes Of the off,
! Gals.
! Garden City could not withstand the
! battering of the Devens backs. Captain
: Hoban, the former Dartmouth and
! Lehi-h star. hit the line like a young
! tornado and repeatedly tore OF five to
! fifteen yard gains so also did young
Mcclure. a player with no college or
| scholastic experience, hut as splendid
ar offensive and defensive back as has
! been seen this season. Coughlan. who
! took Hobln's place after the Devens
| leader was put out OF the game, also
showed himself to be something Of a
! human batterlng ram.
Aviators Rally.
! The Avlators fought plucky game.
| especially in the second period, when
| for time IL looked az IL they had turned
! the tide and had Devens on the run, just
| like Great Lakes did TO Rutgers at Eb-
! bets Field a week ago. Twice In the
second period the Aviators forced
pevens back to the shadow Of their goal
| posts. but each time the Massachusetts,
| soldiers pulled out of the hole.
/ MCGUIRE. on the opening kickoff. made
! Bowling chase back to the goal line.
The Garden City star brought the ball
back only five yards before ne was
dropped by Seeley. The Aviators made
first down before Devens stiffened and
forced Glrden City to punt. Devens
then started an advance and line
smashes by Hoban and Mcclure, helped
with two penalties suffered by Garden
City. brought the ball to the Aviators'
yard line before the end of the period.
Two snashes by Hoban were made qt
he start OF the second period and then
Mcclure was catapul;ed over for the
touchdown with Cobb kicking goal
Score; Camp Devers. ! Garden City. 0.
On the kickoff following the Devens
touchdown Bowling ran the ball back
twenty-five yards from the 6 yard lire
TO the go. Downing knived through
tackle to the 40 yard line. A twenty
Ave yard forward pass. Todd to Dor
rance. followed, and then Bowling
skirted end TO the 10 yard line. There
Devens held. With only n foot and
half 10 go on the fourth down Garden
City foolishly attempted a forward pass
X went askew and Devens got the ball
or downs. Following Devens punt
Carbon City started another drive. They
we're inside Dcvenss 25 yard line when
the period ended
Little FOOtbaIlI Much FisticuRs.
There was no scoring. little football,
but much fstcuns in the third period
1t was in that session that the officials
had to curb the feelings of the players
and stave a threatened free for all by
banishing Hoban
Garden City held for downs at the
start OF the fourth period. They In turn
were held for three downs. Berg then
punted. The kick was blocked by Davis,
who captured the ball and raced twenty
yards for n touchdown. Cobb again
kicked goal.
Following the touchdown there was
another display Of pusilistlc fireworks
resulting in Mahan being put out Of the
game and Garden City being penaiized
half the distance. thirty yards, TO thu
goal posts, nevens then smas shed It's
way the remaining distance. Coughlan
