capacity. The court will be regulation

new circuit Under the new seating
system $500 spectators. including g.

been removed from the surface it Is

Eastern had been forced to kick out
from behind the goal line. Heeke' s
boot from one corner of the grid
iron went across the field instead of
in the usual direction and landed
near the l0-yard mark. Although
surrounded by the entire Eastern
team, Capt. Gene Dulin of Tech
took the bah on the third bounce
and scampered across the line before
any one thought of stopping him.
Eastern also scored out of a clear
sky. In the last period Heeke got
off a long punt that went toward the
corner of the field. where Charley
Dodson, Tech halfback. was hoping
to see it roll across the goal line.
Radice, Eastern tackle, who went
down under the kick, saw the ball
touch Dodson's foot just before cross

it for his teams only score.
