c. b. JUNIORS WIN
FOURTH STRAIGHT GAME

The c. B. c. Juniors won their fourth
straight game Thursday when they de-
feated the Vocational Juniors by the
score Of u to 0 on Hodges field.
The Vocational lads were the most
consistent ground-gainers that the col
lege youngsters have played this year
and missed scoring only because of
fumbles in the most important mo-
ments Of the game.
The playing of the Adams avenue
team was of the straight football style
with the resulting short gains, yet their
forward passes were exceptionally sue
cessful also.
For Vocational Lazerow, Leflar and
Cotton were the stars.
For the college Collins played his best
game Of the season. Bondurant and
Kisber both played an excellent game
in plays through their positions.
Collins scored the first touchdown
near the end of the first half on a
plunge through left guard. Mannigan
put the second over on a plunge through
center near the middle of the second
half. 0'Reilly failed to kick either goal.
