24 BULKELEY NEWS A LARGE PART of the Class of 1919 are now attending college. It will perhaps be interesting to note just where our former schoolmates are at present : A. Fitzgerald Brown University (Prov.) T. Gannon Reed College (Portland, Ore.) J. Cody M. Bergman R. I. State (Kingston, R. I.) T. Pendleton Amherst (Amherst, Mass.) T. Grant “ W. Wadleigh H. Havens “ “ T. Sullivan Villa Nova T. Loiacano William Sullivan ’16, is now a student at Stevens Institute, N. J. George Reinacher ’17, is at Yale and is a member of the track team. R. Sullivan and Wr. Corcoran are also attending Yale. They graduate in June. John Lawrence ’16, was perhaps the last man in the city to return from over-seas. While across Lawrence was decorated several times and was a member of an expert rifle team. M. J. Sullivan ’17, is now attending Holy Cross. Last year Sullivan was at Rhode Island State. D. Babbidge ’20, is taking a course at SufEeld School. He also plays tackle on the football team. L. Gallup ’17, goes to Brown. He entered after being discharged from the navy. A good many old Bulk eley football stars were noticeable in the New London Independents’ lineup. They suffered only one defeat in the entire season. THE REAL STUFF Thi6 is about a football team, That had never been beaten before, They went away, Confident that they, Another victory would add to their score. They went up against a school With just the same record as they. This team had the weight, And pos’bly ’twas fate That the surer should beaten be. The score, why that doesn’t matter; It doesn’t count after all; But it’s the fight one makes And the blows one takes When driven against the wall. The test of your mettle, the proof of your worth Isn’t the blows you deal It isn’t the cinch But it is the pinch That shows if your stuff is real. —William McCraw, ’20

BULKELEY NEWS 23 Birmingham soon crashed through tackle for the second touchdown. Both attempts at kicking fell short. Again in the third period Birmingham hit the line and netted 30 yds., Maclnnis once more circled right-end for the next 6 points. Vocational came to life in the last quarter and succeeded in scoring on Bulkeley for the first time in six years. Lord intercepted a Bulkeley forward pass and ran to our 10 yard line. Bulkeley’s defensive ability promptly showed itself and held for three downs. On the fourth Zozzora recovered a fumble and fell across. Guthrie then booted it over the crossbars. The game soon ended, the Orange and Black boys victors, by the score of 18-7. The shining lights for Vocational were: Lord, and Guthrie; for Bulkeley: Ryan, Maclnnis, D. Cassara, Birmingham. B B Bulkeley 7—N. F. A. 7. November 22. The Bulkeley eleven played its last game of the season on the campus of the Norwich Free Academy, November the 22nd. The contest ended in a 7-7 tie. One of the largest gatherings that ever witnessed one of the games, was present and New London had every one of her sport fans present; business men, alumni, old-time sports, W. M. I., and nearly all the student body. Bulkeley had to play both the officials and the Academy eleven, for MacKay insisted that the referee and umpire be Norwich men. Well, those who were there know the result. However, Bulkeley started not over-confident, but determined, and her playing proved that she was in excellent condition. The first and second quarters ended without either team scoring and showed the teams to be evenly matched. In the third perion Maclnnis cut loose through the Red and White line from midfield and with the best interference ran for our only touchdown. He then kicked sately over the cross-bars. Then Norwich livened up and sent Markoff through for their touchdown. Ringland immediately kicked the goal and tied the score. The fourth period proved uneventful and the game ended with a score of 7-7. The stars for Norwich were: Young and Wilcox; for Bulkeley, Jimal, Ryan, and Maclnnis. —F. Gannon, ’20.
