life last night when Anacostia
threatened to upset them in the

aged to score just before the finish
to exc out a 1926 win. The opener

Bill Cannon supplied the winning
punch for the Colts, tossing in a
one-handed shot only Is seconds
ahead of the final whistle to put
Coolidge in front for the only time
during the game. Anacostia went
ahead at the start and was ahead
most of the time.
Coolidge did pull to a 1915 tie in
the third quarter on Cannon's layup,
and knotted the count at 1918 a
minute later with Bob Rohr scoring.
The Indians once more were in
front in the final quarter only to
be tied again at PAPA, with lanky
Bob Kleinknecht providing the goal.
Gene Schroeder busted this dead

with his only goal to again even
