Gloucester, Mass. Nov. 26.-ConE>
High struck a tartar in the football
team representing Gloucester High
in the annual Thanksgiving game this
afternoon and was vanquished quite
decisively.
Three touchdowns and two points
from goals after them gave the home
team its margin of 20 points to moth
ing for the visitors from the Maine
capital Except for few minutes at
the start of the second half, Cony
was completely outplayed by team
with strong running attack and
sturdy defense which asserted itself
when Cony made its only sustained
march and threatened the Gloucester
goal line soon after the third quarter
was under way.
The brilliant Lapidus, one of the
best running backs seen here this
year, with two thrusts through the
line for 80 yards enabled Cony to put
the ball at Gloucester's IL yard line.
There the attack stopped. In four
rushes Cony was thrown back for
losses. A fiat pass gained five yards
but Gloucester took the ball on downs
at its Is yard line. Cony's net loss
being three yards. Conys attack
never got going again, although Stiles
made a desperate effort to drop kick
a goal from the Gloucester 50 yard
stripe in the closing minutes. The
shot was not close. The ball was
picked up by Ross and he dashed to
midfeld, where the game ended. Glou-
cester scored in the first, second and
last quarters.
In the opening period the .Glouces-
ter march started when Erskine inter-
copied a pass at his As yard line.
The team carried the ball down the
field SIS yards in straight plays, Why
not, Erskine and Curley featuring. In
the second quarter Gloucester carried
the ball to Cony's eight yard mark
and lost it on n tumble. Cony recov-
cred and advanced to the o2 yard line,
where Wilkin gathered in the loose
pigskin for Gloucester. This time
Gloucester carried on to another
touchdown. Cony's attack which had
been slow gathered new impetus at
the start of the second half but the
team was unable to hold it and after
the exchange of goals for the last
quarter Gloucester surged forward to
a third touchdown. In the last quar-
ter Cony made some Roadway against
the Gloucester subs but mock OF
passes were broken UP and stiles made
his attempt to drop kick gonl
which failed. For Cony. l.apidus was
easily the outstanding star. In the
49, re
Whynot were particularly brilliant,
the latter on defense broke up at
tempt after attempt but by Cony for
ward pass and twice made intercept
tlons Coach Pierce and n number OF
the boys remained over and VIII visit
Boston tomorrow. The hus Miss Lew
iston left here soon after the game
conveying the uniforms and those OF
|&the squad making the return trip.
