much the same manner that a sieve
bars passage to water and the Trim

three times in succession. Ortgies
went back for punt, which was hur-

Nordlund. former Hartford High
school player, who was shifted from

run of the game in running back a
kick.
Kennedy. playing his first game at
quarterback for Trinity, also played
a good game after the disastrous first
quarter. In the Trinity line, Woolam

break through the Bowdoin forwards
at all. For Bowdoin, Smith and
Woodbury. in the backfleld and Ma
