Though the scores were disappointing, fl no one questions the loyalty of the student body and the morale of 5 the team as a whole. ,is This year's team was light, fast, and determined to make a showing il? against teams of Alfred's class as well as such lineups as those of 'Ui Colgate and Lafayette. The fact that only one game was played at ' home may have been an important reason why the long end of the , scores are against Alfred. 4 The addition of several Freshmen to the squad went a good way in filling the gaps left by the veterans of '24, Injuries to seasoned ends and linemen were severe set backs to Coach Kasper, as he I' was forced to use green men who, though gritty and determined, were handicapped by lack of experience in collegiate football. ll , A' A , ' QT -Zi-5'?Q?f9?' fa I ' 41 0 Q i7lllIllIXXL!IE7g H311

W- ,s,SQ'.KU H NYS U 41 QNAQ Q N as, Colgate-Putting up a gallant defense against the much heavier and more experienced team of Colgate, the Purple and Gold team was forced to bow to the Maroon by a score of 35-0. The punting of D. Gardner the end runs and off tackle plays of Capt. McConnell proved to be the outstanding features of the Alfred defense. Tryon, Schmidt, Crowther, and Strack were the point getters for Colgate. Buffalo-In their second game of the season, the Alfred eleven defeated the Buff and White of the University of Buffalo at Rotary Field 16-0. G. Gardner played a strong offensive game, while Moore, McConnell, and G. Gardner accounted for A1fred's points. Metz, the Buffalo full back, was the whole team and played an exceptionally hard game. It was in this game that the scrappy, ever-alert Fulmer broke his ankle, and was forced to withdraw from the season's sport. oge3,gmcn1xxurD31CEP3e mal
