ACADEMY MEETS DEFEAT IN FINAL GAME.

\. F. A. played their final game of the season Thursday afternoon on the can pus losing to the Yal Consolidat- td team by the score of s to .. The two elevens were evenly matched and both displayed good football despite the muddy condition of the field. Reineicher, the visitors right half back was presented with a touch down in the third quarter. He broke away on the N. F. A. 35-yard line and joEEed along for a touchdown, ceveral Academy men allowing him to es- cape out of their arms. It was plain ly a gift. Besides Reineicher. who made other good gains during the game, Murphy al quarterback and Levine at full back played well.
 The Academy team as whole play cd in a cheditable manner. Bill RinEland and Johnnie Young con- tributed the heavy work. N. F. A. was especially good at forward pas5-' fig completely four out of eight at tempts.
 NE. A. has had fairly successful season winning three out of a total of twelve games, losing seven and tie ing two. The number of wins would undoubtedly have been much larger had tho boys been playing the brand of football during the first half of the season that they have been playing the last half. Had the Storrs and Stonington elevens met them in their present improved condition they would have stood little chance. In Windham they were held to tie which was the result of over-confi- dence pure and simple. Hence 50 would follow that the score for the season would read ! games won, lost and l tied.
 Bill Ringland, Johnnie Young, Jess Wilcox. Crocker and Ray Wilcox III have been playing consistently good football all season. Markoff unhap- oily was not discovered till well into the season. Capt. Suplicki was showing signs of having a wonderful season, when he broke his wrist and was out of the game for three-quart- CTS of the seaso.
 Coach Mckay was confronted at the beginning with a bunch of the rawest possible recruits. Without the a.d Of a scrub team to work his men and plays against he transformed hls rockies into a good football team. Many were the dire predictions vouchsafed by the football critics who gave the squad the once over during the first fe wdays of practice. Sew eral of these critics who had not again see the boys in action till the Bulks- ley game were amazed at the pro. gress they had made. Coach Mckay has worked hard to make football players of .t,e boys and he deserves much credit.
