22 THE CHRONICLE LYMAN HALL 7 DERBY Li Although we showed a stronger offensive and better defensive power, Lyman Hall was defeated by a powerful Derby team in the last home game of the season. LYMAN HALL 0 BRANFORD 2 By virtue of a blocked Lyman Hall kick from behind its own goal line in the second period, Branford gained a margin of victory over Lyman Hall. Except for a Branford drive in the first few minutes, the first period was a kicking duel between Porto and Sokolosky. In the second period the opponents made a drive from their forty-five yard line to Lyman Hall’s two yard marker. Here the Lyman Hall line held Branford and received the ball on downs. On the next play Porto’s kick was blocked, and Branford was granted a safety which gave them two points. The rest of the game was a kicking contest between the two teams. Branford wras the stronger team making five first downs to Lyman Hall’s three. No great gains could be made through the line of either team. Some of the freshmen believe that Shakespeare wrote Omelet, All's Well That Gets There, Late Summer Love, and Love's Harbor Lost.

If he were honest, he wouldn’t have to hide. Exchange
