Game In Detail.
The game Sept. 21st with MoColl
was hard fought; the McColl boys
have heavy team, and one that
will give a better account of itself
later in the season.
The Rockingham eleven played
the entire game with but one sub
stitution. John McAulay and DR..
Blanchard, of McColl, alternated at
referee and umpire. LeGrand Ever
EFT, Jr., was head linesman. The
quarters were of 10-minutes each.
Coach ]. B. Lawrence's charges
scored twice in the second quarter
and once in the fourth. According
to the new rule, team has to put
the ball in play five yards or more
from the goal line, after a touch
down, in order to try for the point
that formerly was gained by a
kick from placement. The new rule
is much better. In the Friday game
our boys brought the ball to the s.
yard line after each of the three
touchdowns, and endeavored to take
it over by straight line bucks The
required five yards were made on
but one attempt.
