noon at Ebbets Field. The Flushing
aggregation, piloted by the brilliant
little Bach. fairly swept the Buff and
Blue lnto oblivion in the first quarter
and had little opposition In scoring

ION, the Era SINUS captain, injected a
bit Of much needed pep into his
charges snd the march of the "Reds"
was abruptly halted, but it was not
until the last quarter that the heavier
Buff and Blue could shatter the de-
fersc Of the fast Flushing team. Here

went over for touchdown and Rocker
feller kicked the goal. tying the score.
Erasmus was nightly lucky to
emerge rom the conflict without the
stain Of defeat. Numerous opportuni-

backfield was particularly weak and
fumbles we're abundant. Flushing, al

two periods, although Erasmus threat

and Blue from the coveted marker, but.
headed by Bach, the "Rels" hurled
their opponents back and took the ball

The last period was well under way
