The Cony High School eleven
showing remarkable form in the
initial game Of the season, rushed
the Madison boys off their feet Sat.
urday afternoon. amassing a score
or oil, while their own goal/posts
were never in danger.
The Red and Whites big score in
the main was the result OF q team
offensive In which tie line acted in
concert with the backfield for gains
that were certainly not the result of
guess work. 1t is true that two
touchdowns we're the result of inter-
cepted paases but on both occasions
tins interference quickly formed
about the runner for the race to the
goal line In this particular, the
work OF quarterback "Red" Hayden

additional 20 points. In the latter
part of the game the work of Nc
Cauley featured. the dusky- hued lad
being sent through the line and
around the ends for long gains.
The visitors were a plucky lot and
doggedly stuck to their task In tie
