VISITORS FAILED
IN OFFENSIVE
But They Put Up Good
Fight Against Barre's
Drives

When it came to playing real sci
entifc football the Pittsford Legion
post was not in it with the Barre Lee
gion post yesterday afternoon and as
result the local lads poured on the
whitewash, 10 to 0 deep. Laird, who
worked the keystone position for the
local post, was a complete master OF
his plays and stood out as the indi-
vidual star. Dnrkee, the Pittsford
quarter, also played hard game and
shared honors for the game fullback
Willis, who proved hard nut at times
for the local boys to crack.
In summarizing the game at Inter-
city park it may be said that it was
practically all end runs and forward
passes with occasional trick plays
from both sides. The attendance at
the event proved that the crowds liked
Sunday football, there being around
1000 present.
In the first period Powers of Pitts
ford kicked off to Donelly, who re-
ceived the ball far back and carried
it forward for eight yards before he
was dropped by Powers. After one
rush, Laird started one of his never
ending end runs, gaining 20 yards be
fore he was dropped by Willis. Bart
lett, who did much clever playing,
made short gain on a rush and then
Donnelly surprised the crowds by 30
yard run. Bartlett made six yards on
two rushes and Laird nine yards on
an end run before the ball went to
Pittsford on tumble and the quar-
ter was up.
Willis and Durkee tried rushing the
ball to no avail and, finally, the for
mer punted to O'Brien, who made a
nice gain. O'Brien's end rush gained
him IL yards and after small gain
Laird gained IL yards. Donelly made
eight yards through tackle and after
two more PUSHES by the local post |
Donelly carried the ball across. O'Brien
missed the kick. Giacherio gained Is |

kick formation tore around the Pitts
