At time the game resembled . soccer contest. Harding of the Guards would boot to New Britain and then Sowka of New Britain would kick to the Coast Guard. While this was going or linesmen would run up and down and offi- cials would be breathlesa racing from one end of the field to the other.

On the second occasion Zaleski carried the ball over and on the third Landino made the score. The last two scores were made on line plunges. The two points after touchdown were made on forward passes, Sowka to Zaleski and Sowka to Landino.

At the be- ginning of the fourth quarter Billy Ross went in at quarterback. Cap- tain Landino moved to Grips place at left halfback and Grip left the game. When there were about two minutes left to play Coach Cassidy put five of his substitutes in the game.
