Giving the best they had neither Putnam High nor Plainfeid High could come home a winner in the game on Putnam's gridiron last Friday af ternoon. Ii was Winslow who again saved his team from defeat IL was in the last period and Putnam had been held scoreless. The local eleven opened up, stepped on it. and by se- ries of plunges and line passes reach ed their opponents fifteen yard line. IL was time for more drastic action. The signal was given. The ball was shot Co Winslow and Putnam's cap tain carried il across for six points and a tie score.
 Plainfield took the opening kickoff and marched straight down the field. Williams carried the ball across on a short plunge IL certainly did not look good for the Putnam eleven at this point. From then on, however, it was different. The visitors couldn't re- peat the performance that looked so simple before Putnam had struck it's stride II was good game, a clean game and the spectators got many thrills before the final whistle.
