DAY CANE TO
DOVER, 6O-I4

Thursday, November 22nd, the
Dover Senators" met the Milford
'Bucs" on the latter's field in their
annual Turkey Day clash. The
Senators" were favored and lived
up to the advance notices by
thoroughly trOuncing Milford by a
wide margin, 6O-14.
They showed their terrific power
by DlOwing through the Milford
line for q points in the first stan
"a. The running of Bill Voshell
and Jim Maloney accounted for
these scores with the former tally
ing twice and the latter once.
These two fine backs again
scored tOuchdowns in the second
period. and the half ended with
Dover holding a commanding lead
of 1910. A great loss to Milford
during this quarter was an injury
to Bud Kimmel, who was carried
from the field and was unable to
see action again for the remainder
of the contest.
Dover Continued ROut In The
Second Half
After the usual half-time activi-
ties of the Milford and Dover bands
the third session got underway.
Milford finally got up steam and
scored on a plunge by Terry Flem-
ing who also added the extra point
by the same method. However, the
Dover touchdown twins" again be-
came active and scored two more
tallies.
Dover continued the monOtony in
the fourth period by scoring two
more tOuchdOwns. Late in the en-
counter, Dickie Williams passed to
John Abbott for Milford I'd Har-
vey KINNEY went over for the ex-
ira point, thus making the final
score, 60-14
