Donald booted the oval souareIv
over the bar for what proved Ia he
the winning point.
While Gardiner showed flashes a,
the machine which Coach O'Brien
had built up to defeat Conv, the real
exciting stage came in the final three

length. of the field to 60. Hazard.
who succeeded Desmond at Quarter

2O-yard toss. Dale to Davidson, An.
other try was incomplete but on the
next Dale hurled the sphere IS
yards to leighton and the Gardner
rooters went wild.
Then Dale was thrown for q loss
on line attempt. and the air route
was again resorted to. Rose was
given the ball and waiting moment
hurled 1t straight into the arms OF
Leighton, who needed to take only
a couple of steps to the Cony line.
But Hickey was not equal to the
occasion. the ball slithering to one
side in the attempt at goal.
Both schools turned out big

Poor clearly excelled Dale. McCau-
ley. Lapidus and Hayden alternated
in carving the ball. with the work
of HAYDEN featuring. It was his first
game in the backfeld and he dem

man to stop, despite his slight
stature.
Stuber and Dale did the bulk Of
work for Gardiner, especially the
former. Both lines were strong on
defense with q shade in favor OF the
Conv team. The summary:
