me llDS OI MduCNtSltG NtSltTIaE lN q score of 13-0, which is not at all indicative of the relative strength of the two teams. Ii was a hard battle all the way through with the Blues fighting desperately for a touchdown even after all hopes of victory had gone. Both clubs used two cou- plete teams and the numerous sub stitutions and times out attest 10 the ruggcdness of the play. However there were very few penalties and both teams played exceptionally clean football when one considers the natural rivalry of the clubs and the fierce charging of both lines.
 The Blues had all the better of the argument during the first half making six first downs 10 one for the Cubs, who being unable 10 p"nr- trate the New Britain line, were quickly forced to kick every time they received the ball. 4 50 yard pass Fengler 10 ZalesN featured this half and at it's successful execution. the Blues seemed on the road to a sure touchdown but the Cubs Stltfen- cd with their backs to the wall and took the ball on downs, A number of other forwards were tried by both teams but with little or no sue cess. before the half ended with the ball in midfeld.
 Between the halves tne writer overheard the Cubs coach using some very persuasive language to his charges and they were certainly most effective for the second half was just the reverse of the first half and the Blues could find no means Of penetrating the perfectly massed interference behind which the Cubs backs swept the ends or slanted off tackle for substantial gains.
 A penalty for interference with a receiver of a forward pass at the start of the third quarter gave the Cubs a first down on the Blues eight yard line and in three plays Meikie carried the ball over for the first score of the game. A pass, Eagle son to Dahlquist produced the extra point and made the score 70. The green jersey Manchester team kick ed to the Blue who with kyeskl banging the line marched 40 yards before being forced to kick as the third quarter ended.
 With the start of the fourth quar- ter, the Cubs made 20 yards around left and 13 yards through tackle and then a pretty pass Farr to Stratton, who picked the ball out of the air while surrounded by Blue men and then ran 12 yards for a goal pro- duced the last score of the game, Eagelson's drop kick for point was short and the score was 13-o.
 The Cubs again kicked to New Britain and the Blues started their last threat of the day, q gallant march that carried them with kyeski and Spitco alternately hitting the line from their own 20 yard line 70 the Cubs five yard mark when the game ended.
