Coach Thompson started putting in
the subs after the first half was over,
and the work of his second string men
proved that he has lot of good ma
terial with which to build next sea-
son. The showing Of the team as a
whole was very satisfactory, although
the light Morse team did not make
them exert themselves at any time to
win.

lateral and forward passing, while
Cony gained by plugging the tackles.

| the game after the start of the first
| half. Cony failed to gain and puntcd

Burns, McCauley. and Hayden went
into the backfield with Red" taking
quarter and harrington moving to
half again. a number of other SUI
situations were made on the line.
Plunees by the new Cony bacLfield
and o0-yard forward pass, HAYDEN
to harrington, after Burns had made
long gain put the Red and White
within striking distance and Burns
went across for the final touchdown
of the game. Score: Cony 81; Morse 0.
1t would he hard to pick out any
particular stars from the COny team,
rs the Morse eleven gave them no
real competition. Captain Lee Aus
tin, Frank harrington and Poor all
played a sterling game in the back
field, the Cony ends covered their
positions we'll. and the line held SOL
idly as whole. The kent's Hill
game next Saturday should serve to
give much better line on the indi-
vidual work of the players.
Ledyard, Knights, Slower, Butler
and BuCklin were the most consistent
scrappers for Morse. while Paris
played strong game for the Bath
boys in right guard.
