Though there was hope and in-
dicatoin for q few minutes that
wildly would provide a football
upset, comparable to that which
took place In New York when Ford
ham lost to N. Y. o., the Crosby
grid club ran true to form. turned
In q 1910 victory, and thereby won
i the last city high school cham-
pionship that will ever be played
for at Hamilton Park-we hope.
Finding the Crosby line Surpris-
ingly brittle directly following their
receipt Of the kickoff, Captain Paul
Devino plowed more than IS yards
including three successive first
downs to the Crosby eight yard
stripe, where Devino decided to
pass. =
Bad News >
That was the beginning Of the
end, for the pass was intercepted
by Vallone. as speedy back as has
lugged q football on local gridirons
for years. Aside from scoring both
touchdowns for Crosby, Vollone was
a constant threat to Wildly BALI
carriers, being the only player be-
tween Devino and touchdown, the
latter seeming to run directly into
Vollone, who held him fast. De-
vino got under way for o 20-yard
gallop when he intercepted pass
by Urcinas pitched from the Crosby.
A yard line. Grove, the other
wildly ball-carrier capable Of
/ touchdown running, could not get
going. -
Coach Bill schofield's pep talk
between halves made a different
game from the Crosby angle in the
last two periods, the line and backs
co-ordinating, 20-yard return Of
kickoff In the third period and q
IS yard gallop by Vollone through
the right side of Wilby's line, was
temporarily stopped, regained the
ball at the AZ and on short line
plays by johnson, Urcinas and Vol-
lone, the latter scored from the two
yard mark, after a succession OF
first downs. A poor pass caused
Pranskitis to miss the kick for
point.
A good lateral pass off play to
johnson, brought Crosby % yards
in the final period, Vollone scor-
ing later from the 20 after Block
gained is yards. Wilby's line play
was excellent in the first period,
which, coupled with Devino's
plunging, looked good for Q score
which never came due to forward
passing, which is their outstanding
weakness. Malario, Desantis, Hamel
and Barnes showed up well during
the first half. Summary:
