yard line, and in about ten plays, all
Of which were end runs or straight
line %plunges, Chapman carried the
leather across the'line for their first
iozen points. Wolff, left end for the
Legion team, kicked successfully for
the extra point.
With the next kickoff to the st.
Mary's eleven, 1t looked as though
the visitors would repeat the stunt,
as their first few plays netted them
large gains. They thrrashed the
Tottenville line right and left for
three quarters of the field. This on
slaught was not to continue, how
ever, as the Legion got together and
held the visitors until the ball was
awarded to them near their own
toal. The quarter ended with the
score 10 in favor of the home
team.
Nothing much was done by either
aggregation in the second quarter,
save an occasional spectacular gain
by h visitors or a pretty aerial
play by the ex-soldiers. The half
ended with the score still at 10 in

good men on account of injuries, had
their line and backfield pretty we'll
split up. The ball was in the possess
sion of the home team and with two
forward passes, each netting about
thirty yard gains, the Legion team
again forced the ball over. Wolff
also repeated his work and the score
read 40 at the end ,of>that quar-
ter.
The last quarter of the tussle was
carried out in much the same order
as that of the third, fierce attacks
being made by both teams and only
intercepted forward passes halted
the steady gains of the combina-
tons. With about six minutes to go
in this session the Tottenvillers be-
a a steady rush which was not
halted until they were on the oppo-
nents twenty yard mark. A forward
pass was then tried and Wolff
making a pretty catch of the leather,
carried the ball over for another six
points. He failed, however, on his
third try for a goal and the game
ended 80 in the Legion's favor.
Tottenville started yesterday with
Parker, Covell, Dietz, and Moore in
the backfield, Wood, Chapman, Jen-
sen, Thompson, Glaven, Hoehn and
LaForge on the line, while the St.
