|C0NY HIGH WADES
THROUGH EDWARD
LITTLE FOR 800 WIN

uuHfUh jU-U WIN
Heralded as a tough proposition,
the Edward Little Grid aggregation
proved fair easy Saturday after
noon, the Cony warriors tallying up
total of 80 points while the in
vaders never threatened the goal
line of the Capitol City lads.
Cony displayed a remarkable Of
fence in the opening stanza. rushing
Pick Turner's charges off their pins
for a touchdown in a little less than
five minutes. This was accom-
plished on a series Of line and end
plays with Lapidus, McCauley and
Burns taking turns carrying the oval.
Burns finally went over for the tally.
The try for goal failed.
Edward Little kicked off and Cony
again began the march across the
chalk lines, Burns for 5, Red Hayden
for u, Lapidus for 6, McCauley for
and 10; the sunburned lad going
over for the second touch down in
a strong five minutes. The try for
goal was another f1zzle.
Again Auburn kicked and again
the advance was on with steady
gains, notably that of Burns for Is
yards. Lapidus in q spectacular line
plunge for yards went over for
the third tally, and for the third
time the goal was missed. With the
beginning of the second half the
Edward Little defence stiffened
somewhat and Cony was held for
downs twice The ball shifted sides
several times with an exchange of
punts. Cony finally getting possession
and began another advance.

bit slow but they gradually warmed
up to their task and although there
was no scoring in the third period
the ball was close to Auburn's goal
line when the teams halted temper
arily and changed goals.
In the final period after the Ed
ward Little runner had been spilled
for a loss on the first try, Lapidus
grabbed a forward pass out of the
air and raced SO yards for a touch
down making the count "a. Cony's
try for the additional point failed for
the fourth time.
Cony kicked off and Burns ran it

downs. Auburn hit Cony's line twice
for no gain and then attempted an
air toss but Boyd alert for the play
made a pretty jumping catch and
was away for % yards being finally
brought to earth with four desperate
visitors clinging to him. Here Cony
failed to gain and punted. The Au-
burn defence failed to corral the
sphere and on a free ball Yeaton
gathered up the bouncing pigskin,
tucked it under his arm and legged
it for Auburn'S line and Cony's fifth
touchdown. The additional point pos
sible was another failure, the pass to
HAYDEN being poor and he was down
ed in his tracks.
The quarter was nearly up and at
this point Coach Thompson sent in
whole flock of subs. There was no
more scoring, the ball changing sides
twice in as many minutes.
While Cony's backfeld was fairly
steady throughout and at times brill
liant. the work of the line was really
a big factor both in offence and de-
fence. The tackling of Gardiner,
Boyd. and Folsom was particu-
larlarly noteworthy while both r.
Hayden and Hill played well. Both

center. Red Hayden at quarter ran
the team well, there being little to
criticize in his running off of plays.
One of the pleasing features of the
game from a Cony standpoint was
the ability of both Niles and Burns,
especially the former to boot the
ball when the OCCaTiOn arose. II was
feared that the loss of Captain Poor
would handicap the team but these
lads amply filed the job. Three times
in particular long punts by Viles
gave his team a marked advantage
and led indirectly to two touch
downs.
Cony played clearly throughout,
the only penalty being five yards,
but Edward Little was caught at least
once pulling off doubtful stuff and
given set back of Is yards, designa-
ted as unnecessary roughness.
There was no Cony cheering. OF
course the adverse weather condi-
tions may have kept away the bulk
of the student body, but the or
porals guard present failed to give
ever an imitation of the Cony yell.
