HEAVY DEERINC BOYS
But GAME IS TIE

Outplaying their heavier opponents
in every department of the game but
lacking the necessary punch to put
across score. the Cony High gridders
We're forced to accept scoreless tie
In the game with Deering High, Sat
urday. on Williams field
Upsetting the dope that the Purple
team would smear them. the Red and
Whlte clan demonstrated it's ability
TO play the visitors off their feet the
greater part of the game. The field
was in poor condition, due to the re-
cent rains, and restricted the plays on
both sides.
For a school game there was a re-
markable amount of punting and in
TINS department Cony clearly excelled.
called upon repeatedly to boot the
ball to a safe zone, Bill Viles came
across In convincing style. His spirals
were higher and longer than Trip
Tor Deering and enabled Cony to keep
the pigskin in the visitors territory
the major part Of the game.
But despite this advantage as well
as two successful forward losses, one
for 20 and the other for rs yards,
Cony could not put the bail over. AL
though Deering failed to threaten
Cony's goal, their own was menaced
at least three times, the most spectac-
ular being McCauley's 25-yard toss to
Howell on behring's 10-yard line How
ELL the Cony end, was all by his lone
some with a clear path to the goal
line when the colored lads toss came
straight at him. but the ball slithered
down through his arms to the ground
and the playa was incomplete.
AT another stage with Cony steadily

booted on the third down with only
one yard to make it a first down.
Whether the Cony general sought to
gain ground by an exchange of punts
or whether he became confused on the
downs and distance to be made, the
march was halted. Again in the final
quarter Cony essayed a field goal from
the 30-yard line. but the angle was a
difficult one and VileS' kick missed the
bar by inches.
Eight air losses were set in motion
by the Cony backs but of these only
two were successful. In five tries
in this direction. Deering completed
but one. a pretty 25-yard toss by
Trip to Williamson. The game was
free from unnecessary roughncss in
he main. although Deering was penal
lied twice in somewhat questionable
methods directed at Fullbacll McCau-
ley. The dusky youth proved a great
ground gather despite the efforts of
behring's defence to stop him. Nc
Cauley's work was ably seconded by
Lapidus and Hayden. the former maxi
ing some spectacular dives. while Red
was an elusive bit Of humanity to
stop.
Cony failed to score. but on the
other hand Deering didn't have a
ghost of a chance to register. due to
The stiff front offered by the Cony
line. On play after play the Purple
runner would he stopped in his tracks
or spilled for loss. The summary:
