 "Koppie" Makes Good. 4
 Quigley failed to put in an appear ance and Henry Koplowitz was con- verted into a quarterback. The game had not gone very far. when it could be seen that Quigey was not going to be missed. 'Koppie" used his head in good style and his catching and running back of punts was of a Lit nt ra pfoi nikow starred both on the offense and on the defense. Several times the popular captain wiggled and squirmed through the heavy Rollers line. He also outpunted Samson.
 Dewey Carpenter was at fullback throughout the game and he played in his best form of the season. In the second period, Carp" reeled off | 35-yard run that brought the spec tators to their feet. Peterson did most of the tossing of forward passes, several of them being successful. Paulson grabbedsone of Pete's heayes in the second period that advanced the ball well into the Rollers terri tory The New Britain backfield men lacked the punch, however, toi rush the ball over. Two attempts at goals from placement were tried byI Captain Barnikow, both being fail- ures, and Peterson once tried a field goal which did not come anywhere near it's mark. asThe Providence team secured.l Clark, the star of the Submarine Base eleven, for it's backfield, and it v'as due to him that the victory was rung up. Curly Odin. former Brown star electrified the crowd several times with his brilliant work. Samson. the quarterback, was also troublesome several times for the Connecticut men.
 Rollers Get Break.
 The break that cost New Britain . draw, came in the closing minutes of the last quarter. With the Provi- dence team in possession of the ball on New Britain's 40-yard line, sev- eral changes were made in Barni- kow's lineup, Frankel and Malone, who had been doing herculean work, being taken out. It seemed at this time as though the line attack of the Rollers would be checked long enough for the whistle to blow.
 The Rollers, however, by two plunses of Walkenshaw, Clark made 1t a first down on the 30-yard line. Here Samson dropped back and hurled long forward pass to Odin. The ball struck Odin on the chest, and bounced off right into the arms of Rollers lineman. The ball was now on the New Britain four-yard line. It took only two plunges for Odin and Clark to rush it over, the latter player making the point. He also kicked the goal
