ing Edward Little High. - to :.
Five touehdowns were registered

Just by way Of variety q field goal
was added. Cony kept the ball in
the visitors' territory the greater part
Of the game and q much larger score
for the Red and White would have
resulted had not Cony been penaiized
Is yards and <1ost out on forward
passes.
Cony's gains were all made by
straight football. Three attempts at
the aerial route all resulted in fail
ure, the first two being fumbled on
the receiving end while the third
was intercepted by husky visitor
who lodged through broken field
for q run back Of 25 yards. Neither
overhead attack. Two efforts flzzled
and their fake pass trick did not
materalize into gains, the Cony for
wards breaking through and smoth-
ering this play. There was very lit
tie punting by either team. due in
the main to the fact that COny had
the ball and could make her distance.
The visitors exhibited pluck in a
vain endeavor to stop the rush of
a heavier team, and showed spirit by
staging a brilliant march in the
third period that brought them to
Cony's 20 yard line and enabled them
to boot the pigskin between the
posts for their lone tally.
Harrington, Cony's right half was
the bright particular star. He prov.
ed a constant and consistent ground
gamer and on two plays tore off 80
and % yard runs. l.. Austin Also
r1ade several fine gains and quarter
back Caswell would at times elect to
carry the sphere for telling gain.
c. Poor on several plays made gains
If from 10 10 yards. On the de-
fence Conys line was well nigh i'm
pregnable and the few times Edward
Little had the LAll. the Augusta line
would stiffen with negligible ad-
Nances by Pick Turner's pupils. Pick
is former Cony boy and is plotting
the Auburn eleven this season. He
has developed snappy team but
met one far superior in all depart
mcnts Of the game.
The south goal fell to the lot of
Cony and Stafford kicked off at 3 =
the ball being caught on the 1o-yara
lire and run back to the A.. Auburn

ball. With Austin, Poor, Harrington
and Caswell carrying the ball Cony
plunged down the field for the first
touchdown in minutes of play. SAT-
ford missed the goal. CoAy again
licked off and forced Edward Little
t. punt and began ANOTHER march
that WAS not halted until the 10-yard
line WAS reached. 1t was Auburn's
boil whom tho period ended. At the
start of the second period. Shanna-
hans kick was blocked and Gray
grabbed the oval and dashed ov'r
for the second count with Stafford
registering the additional point.
