12 BULKELEY NEWS intercepted many long runs, which would probably have lead to a defeat for us. Donnelly, May, Law-ski, and Redden starred for Bul-keley. The score : 6-6. One of the most agreeable and unexpected surprises came to the Stonington High School team when they defeated Bulkeley on Nov. n, by a score of Bulkeley-Stonington 13-0. We were handicapped in this game by the loss of Donnelly, who was unable to play. In the first quarter McCastor, one of Bulkeley’s best defensive players, received a broken leg. The loss of Donnelly and McCastor, the condition of the field, and some of the decisions of the Referee, was more than Bulkeley could stand. On the nth day of November, “Chick” Stanley and ten other fellows defeated Bulkeley in a hard fought contest. Up to the third quarter there had been no scoring for either team. Bulkeley-N. F. A. Several interesting plays were witnessed in this period. Capt. May seemed to have taken a sudden trip through the air in an airoplane, intercepted a forward pass, and carried it for about 35 yards gain. In this quarter was when Stanley was “Stanley.” Through terrific plunges he succeeded in carrying the ball over the line. He added one more point by kicking the goal. In the kickoff that followed, N. F. A. advanced into the Bulkeley territory. On the first down N. F. A. tried a forward pass, which was followed by two more. All three of them were intercepted by Bulkeley’s fast end. Then one of the prettiest drop kicks ever witnessed in this section for some time was seen. Stanley was on the edge of the gridiron, and 45 yards from the goal, when he made the sensational play of the game. The rest of the game was played without further scoring. Score: N. F. A. 10, Bulkeley o. Nov. 25th, 1916 is the date on which the players of Harvard, and Training School were both met with disagreeable surprises. The one way that the Bulkeley-Training Training School players compared with the Harvard players, was that both teams were sure of a victory over their great rivals. Af-the kickoff the Bulkeley eleven marched down the field until they lost the ball on Training School’s 20 yard line. Stearns punted back up the field. Again the parade up the field was started. Bulkeley in two rushes was unable to get a touchdown from Training’s 2 yard line. But on the third onslaught the bull-dog spirit of Training seemed to weaken, and Bulkeley crossed the line. May kicked a goal. Score 7-0. In the second quarter there was no scoring. But in the third quarter Whitcomb and Donnelly skirted the ends for 10 and 15 yard gains. Donnelly finally ran around the end for a goal. May kicked a goal. Score 14-0. In the last quarter Redden’s terrific line plunging was the cause of his crossing the line for his second touchdown. Whitcomb’s end runs, Redden’s line bucking, Donnelly’s running back of punts, and Mal-lon’s great headwork were the features of the game.

14 BULKELEY NEWS Indignant woman—“Sir, I want my husband arrested.” Police captain—“But what for, my dear madam ?” Indignant woman—“Because he tempted to strike me, and threatened me.” Police captain—“Allright madam, where shall my men find him ?” Indignant woman—“In the emergency hospital.” McBride—“Say, McGarry, do you ever expedl to hunt Lyons?” McGarry—“No, but some day I’ll fish for Connors.” Harry May not be able to Ty Cobb but Isadore Snitkin. McCaster to Lester—“Why is coal so high when we have a Miner with us?” Wadleigh, buying a new hat the other day, said that it did not fit him but it might Fitzgerald. Prof, (one dark gloomy morning)— “Oh! dear me, I wish we had some light in this room on these dark mornings.” Phillips (producing a hair)—“Here sir, here’s a hair. Probably this will be light enough.” A Surprise to Mary. The English matron had engaged a maid recently from the country and was now employed in showing her newly acquired treasure over the house and enlightening her in regard to her various duties, etc. At last they reached the best room. “These,” said the mistress of the house, pausing before an extensive row of masculine portraits, “are very valuable and you must be very careful when dusting. They are old masters.” Mary’s face dropped and a look of intense wonder overspread her face. “Lor’, mum’” she gasped, “who’d ’ave
