In the first place, Bucknel ranks
with the stiffest defensive teams in
the country. 1t may lack suitable

In the second place. Bucknell is
usually more effective against the
Middies than against other teams
of less strength.
And that was the team against
which the Middies had practically
to open their 1922 campaign last
Saturday. Only by wonderful

Judging from the figures made
