BULKELEY NEWS 21 Joe Maclnnis, our all-round athlete. Joe was here, there, and everywhere in every game and succeeded in spoiling many of our rivals’ defensive and offensive plays. It is with the greatest of pleasure that we announce that he has been elected captain of Bulkeley’s 1920 football team. May he pilot as victorious an eleven as the one of 1919 and again bring to Bulkeley the “Championship of Eastern Connecticut”. The schedule was as follows: Bulkeley 6—Stonington 0. The first contest of the season was held October 4 at Plant Field. The visitors were the braves of Stonington High. The game being the initial one did not have the pep and vim of its followers. However, it proved to the school that she possessed an eleven willing to flight for her honors and meant to retain them. After three quarters of hard scoreless playing in the last period by a series of aerial plays Bulkeley succeeded in crossing the goal line and won by the score of 6-0. Stars for Stonington were: Sheehan and Pepper; for Bulkeley, Fitch and Birmingham. B 0 Bulkeley 13—Windham 0. October 11. Our second game was even a more decisive and encouraging victory, beating Windham High at Plant Field by the score of 13-0. With the kick-off, Bulkeley started her drive and before the first quarter was completed Joe Maclnnis circled the right-end of the up-State boys for the first touchdown. He then kicked the goal. The second quarter was spent in hard fighting within the 40 yd. line. In the third quarter Windham reached our 2 yd. line but with a stone-wall, bull-dog defensive, she was pushed back for a loss on every down. Again in the last period Quarterback Birmingham went through guard for the second touchdown. Maclnnis failed to kick the goal. The game ended soon with Bulkeley on the long end of 13-0. Stars for Windham were: Sumner and Ellison; for Bulkeley, Ryan, Maclnnis, Howard. B B Bulkeley 19—Windham 0. October 25. On the 25th of the month a large aggregation of local rooters, including many from W. M. I., travelled up to Willimantic to witness Bulkeley again conquer Windham High to the tune of 19-0. The Orange and Black did most of the offensive work and never throughout the game was her goal shadowed. The touchdowns came in the first, second, and last periods. In the last period MacCarthy, our fast left-end, intercepted a forward and ran eighty yards for a touchdown. Bulkeley showed her superiority in all phases of the game working many shift and pass plays, mixing in sev-sral line pludges and end runs. The stars for Windham were: Sullivan and Sumner; for Bulkeley, Farrel, Maclnnis, Fitch, McCarthy. B B

22 BULKELEY NEWS Bulkeley 12—N. F. A. 7. November 1. The first of November is a game that will be remembered by nearly 900 spectators as one of the fastest high school football games ever staged at Plant Field. The contestants were Bulkeley and Norwich Free Academy,—“friendly enemies from time immemorial. Both sides of the gridiron were lined with hundreds of hopeful rooters. The loyal W. M. I., supporters must be thanked for their patronage and assistance at the game. Every minute of the game the air was filled with hearty cheers. The first two quarters were spent in see-sawing up and down the field. Norwich succeeded in carrying the pigskin far into our territory several times. Nevertheless in the third quarter Bulkeley turned the trick when after several trick plays Maclnnis went off for the first touchdown. Again in that period Fitch received a skillfully passed ball from Birmingham and crossed the line again. Both attempts at kicking the goal failed. Score 12-0. In the fourth quarter Norwich played several forward passes on to have them “incompleted” by MacCraw or Maclnnis. However, finally a pass from Whitney to Wilcox enabled the latter to score. Ringland then kicked the goal. Score 12-7. Stars for N. F. A. were: Ringland, and J. Wilcox; for Bulkeley: D. Cassara, Ryan, Birmingham, and Maclnnis. 0 0 Bulkeley 0—Suffield 52. November 8. The team on November 8th journeyed up to Suffield where they received their first and only defeat. It was not because they were not “game”,—no, they took one of the best beatings that was ever given to a lighter team. They were simply out-played, out-weighed, and out-run. Nevertheless, they fought hard and gamely throughout the contest and not until the final whistle did they give up hope. The score was 52-0. The less said the better. 0 0 Bulkeley 18—Vocational 7. November 15. Our big game of the season was played November 15th, at Plant Field, where we met and defeated our local rivals from Vocational. The score of 18-7 does not reveal the superiority which the Orange and Black boys showed. This long talked of battle brought out the customary crowd. Every alumnus of either school was present to cheer his “Alma Mater”, and W. M. I., again yelled itself hoarse for Bulkeley. Long before the fatal hour the side-lines were thronged with anxious rooters. Both cheering squads gave excellent support to their heroes. Bulkeley started like a cyclone and before the first period was over two touchdowns had been made. Maclnnis cleared the Red and Black right-end for 45 yards and the first touchdown. Then by several aerial plays the oval wras carried to Vocational’s 4 yard line. 1'
