Washingtonians in the lead by taking
punt in midfield and racing through
the opposing tacklers for a goal.
Gonzaga Starts Well.
Gonzaga forced the play throughout
most of the first half. Soon after the
starting whistle had blown the Purple
and White pushed into the New
Englanders' territory when Hannigan
sent off poor kick. Bozek immedi-,
ately tore off gain of II yards, but
the other backs were unable to pene-
trate the ST. James defense, and
Twomey attempted to drop-kick from
the 2o-yard mark. He missed, and the
Haverhill gridmen took the ball and
had advanced it to the center line by
the end of the period.
GonZaga was forced TO kick from
behind the goal line when Hannigan
sent punt down TO the corner of the
field, but the I Streeters recovered q
tumble and, aided by a penalty called
on their opponents, soon were in
enemy territory again. Bozek, Lane
and Twomey ploughed through TO the
30-yard mark where their advance
was halted. Bozek kicked, and when
the punt was returned received the
ball in midfield and raced down the
left sideline for the first score of the
contest.
St. James made it's first serious
threat after the next kickoff The
visitors ran the ball to the 20-yard
line, and then with a long forward
pass. Pricola to Hannigan, placed it
on the 5-yard stripe. Believing that
the period was about ended, Quarter.

pass, but the receiver missed. and the
ball grounded behind the line.

After losing the bail on downs,
GonZaga received a short punt and
again placed the ball before the posts
only to lose 1t again in the same
manner.
Hannigan started a St, James
rally with 3e-yard run around left
end. On a triple pass play Driscoll
gained 20 yards and Pricola went
around right end for 20-yard gain,
but was thrown outside a few feet
from the goal. Hannisan carried the
ball over on a line plunge and evened
the count. Following the touchdown
and an unsuccessful drop-kick for
point by Prico1a, the New Englanders
again opened a drive for Coma gas
goal. but We're thrown back by
penalty after crossing the center line.
GonzaSa's chance TO clinch the vic
tory came in the final session when
Tracey recovered a tumble in a miry;

yards from the distance. but the next Z

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.--Mother earth

The tremors were noticeable for about

Ontario as far south as Florence, N. c.

quake was severe enough to alarm mill

In some cities notably Detroit, hotel
guests, hurried into the streets, in
others theatres and movie halls were
vacated, their patrons mistaking the
quake for a serious explosion. New

reports from observers at Fordhanl

for more than two minutes were the

The needle of the Fordham Seismo-

seven inches.
Complete reports as to the boundaries
of the zone were lacking at l0:45 o'clocl,

RIO Gyande May Cut Ne,U
Channel Says Robertson

The Rio Grande Valley may some day
be left on the banks of a resaca or ar
royo with the main channel of the
river so miles farther south if flood
control is not secured by Cameron coun-
ty, in the opinion of Sheriff Sam Rob-
ertson. who has for more than 20
years been connected with flood con.
troll work as an engineer, and as one
who foresaw the need of such control
when he fought disastrous floods from
1904 up to several years ago.
This danger is far greater than
that of the river breaking through and
inundating one of the richest citrus
growing sections of the country, the
sheriff said. and is one that has to be
taken into consideration in the flood
control situation. If the lower Valley
were left on the bank Of a saltwater
resaca. irrigation would be a thing Of
the past, and the Valley would be prac-
tically ruined, the sheriff said.
