none of the pep" which characterized
the eleven in previous games. Fordham
made but about FIVE first downs to at
least four or five times that number for
Holy Cross. Never were the New York
ors within scoring distance
Capt. Tommy Myers. Joe Manning,
Bill Woerner and Jack Clarity could
do nothing. as on every play the Holy
Cross line would break through and
"smear" whatever they would attempt.
The Worcester line men played rings
around their opponents. though in size
and weight the two lines appeaed to
be abou. even.
