After a Slow First Half The
Tigers Roll Up 10 Against
st. Mary's Kittens

The DUPONT Tigers are still ON the
undefeated slate with the st. Mary's
Kittens the latest victims in last
Saturdays game with a final score of
1910.
The Tigers played rather listless
ball during the first quarter and far
from the style put on at Pitman. Re-
peated gains were made but the unity
of play seemed lacking. Patterson was
in his old time form and tore off the
yards at twenty and thirty a clip, be-
ing ably assisted by Eddie Bennett
and finally the ten yard line was reach
ed and a touchdown was expected.
But it appears that there were eleven
~quarterbackS on the team and "bone"
play called for. A forward pass was
intercepted and the Tigers first OPP
portunity had passed.
The ball during the second quarter
drifted around the fifty yard line and
changed hands internationally as the
result of more "bones." Hopes and
Nolan were consistent gamers for
the Kittens and dame fortune as
sisted them in holding the Tigers.
Then it looked as if the Tigers were
going to pull a spectacular finish to
the half, but a forward to G.. Dalbow
was a little too fast for him to hold
while the field was open before him.
On another forward the Kittens re-
covered and then the Tigers one by
one began to settle down to work and
Megary in particular was breaking
thru and smearing the visitors plays
before they had started, as the half
ended.
A short snappy talk between the
halves, by the coach, proved the neces-
sarv cohesive element and these
Tigers went back to play football.
Nolan ran the ball back to the forty
mark. but there the Dye Makers made
their stand and held the Kittens for
downs.
The old time march began. Bennett
cut the distance down twenty with a
pretty end run and "Reds" Hendricks
and "Joe" Patterson came thru with
the necessary gains until "Joe" finally
went over for the first touchdown
after five minutes of play. :,
St .Mary's received the kickoff and
after a few feeble attempts at the line
made a pool attempt at punting, while
the ball went into play with the Tigers
only thirty-fve yards to go. Patter-
son cut it down ten, "Red' went five
and "Joe" made three nor "Reds"
made it first down on the twelve yard
line. Patterson made three, but a
penalty took it back five. Then Joe
went thru the centre of the line, he
fumbled, but kept on going as he re
covered in pretty fashion and finally
was brought down on the two yard
line. "Reds" was given the ball on
the next play, and with such induce
as he had it is needless to say
what he did with it. The goal failed
but the margin of safety was now II.
The cats received as usual and ran
the kickoff back to the IS yard line
where Rumack fumbled as he was
tackled, but Dugan was on the ball.
The first two plays made a first down
for the Kittens, but that ended 1T. On
the next two Megary and H. DalboW
broke thru and threw their man for
five yard losses each time. A punt
gave the Tigers the ball on the 40
yard line after Patterson had run it
back Is yards. Click" Wright took
it around left end for Is. Hendricks
and Patterson did their share OF gain
ing and finally Wright put it on the
one yard line from where Hendricks
went over for the final touchdown.
The Kittens then recovered and
made a vain attempt to put n over.
A forward to Nolan gave them Is
yards and the ball in mid-field. Hopes
and Quinn did some god running and
Nolan going thru the line soon put
the ball on the 80 yard line. A drop
kick from Nolan failed but the Kittens
recovered on the Is yard line. A wild
tossing of the ball followed while the
Tigers batted them down as the game
ended.
