SCORE OF LAST YEAR
REVERSED
Nj. M. A. Wins Over Wentworth
By Two Points.

ington fans are disappointed at
the outcome of the game Fri
day, when Mexico Military
Academy gained a decision over
Wentworth by the score of 2 tol
0, they are Of one accord in
praise of the team, Individually
and collectively, for its spirit
and fight against tremendous
odds in weight.
The Mexico boys came expect
ing to have a Rome holiday.
They had defeated Kemper q
to 6, they were much heavier
than Wentworth, and the only
doubt they entertained in con-
nection with the contest was the
number of points they would
roll up against their ancient RI
walls. Their bump of confidence
was full grown when the game
began and when, right off the
reel, they made their longest
run of the game, they decided it
was a cinch. But it was far
from that which they were to
find out as the game progressed.
Wentworth was playing them off
their feet, and continued to do
so with such thoroughness that
Mexico never crossed their goal
line.
In the first quarter Bradfield
broke through Mexicos left
wing and aided by splendid in
reference. raced fifty yards
for a touchdown. But there had
been holding in the left side OF

part in the play, and the ball
was brought back. From then

nance.
The third quarter was a repe.

The fourth quarter was a most
nerve-wracking exhibition Of
football. Everything that coulC
happen in the game was pro

runs, line plunges, forward pass
