BODY, even the most ardent OF the small
band of Bay State rooters who were on
hand TO encourage their prdes, ex-
pected victory. However the Bos.
tonians won the game on their merits
and deserve all the credit
When the second half began Boston
was leading by a score of 2 TO 0, having
scored a safety in the first half. Near
the end of the third period Thorne
Murphy son of the late Mike Murphy
former trainer of Yale and Pennsyl-
vania, replaced La Roche and got a
big hand. Failing TO gain, Murphy de-
cided to try q drop kick. Standing on
his 42-yard line the slim Yale youth
noted the distance and then called for
the ball.
