City tries a pass, Manhattan knocks it down -MANHATTANS BALL! As they line up the whistle blows4GAME'S OVER. A mob of Manhattan rooters swarmed out on the field, uprooted the goal-posts, despite futile efforts, to stop them by an assortment of cops, and, led by the band, paraded around the field. It must be said for the Lavender rooters that they showed themselves gentle- men, good sports, and good loosers. As the joyous Manhattan parade, with the uprooted goal-posts, danced past the City section, the City rooters stood up and applauded. After losing a heartebreaking game, it was certainly a very decent thing to do. The Manhattan players said that it was the cleanest game they had played all year. It is a pleasure to play City College. The team deserves all the credit in the world. They played as they had never played beforeg Neil Cronin, who only three days before had sacrinced a pint of blood for his brother, who was seriously ill, fought like a demon, the giant Mazurki, aroused for once in his life, played as he really can play, Burns put up a whale of a game at center, and saved it by his two kicks after touchdown. Teddy Stein, in his last game for Manhattan, ran the team like a master, choosing his plays headily. and incidentally reeling off a few gains himself, Pete Price showed himself to be of All-American calibre, while Ferrari on the other end, was all over the field, and three times recovered City fumbles: Giangreco, Farrell, Driscoll and VValsh out- fought their heavier opponents as if their lives depended on itg Ed Cronin, the sensation of the day, averaged nine yards on his runs, while Blake Powers ran inter- ference, made tackles all over the place, and completed the forward pass which u 'l placed the ball in scoring position on the final touchdown, and McBride-will we Q ever forget his runs-his covering and breaking up those forward passes in those final frantic minutes? To Coach Schwartzer, we must bow in admiration. Handicapped by lack of men, playing one of Manhattanis toughest schedules, he performed miracles. On the strength of the C. C. N. Y. game alone. he can set up as a second Houdini. A 5 fine fellow, a great coach, a gentlemanw-we like him! l. I V l L l. 1 It 5 1 4?

I. r 2 During the intermission, the rival rooting sections sang and shouted and howled and cheered, keeping up an incessant din which was intensified by the arrival of the teams after the fifteen minute interval. Right from the start, City began a terrible offensive. The heavy Lavender line hurled the Jasper forwards back by sheer brute strength, while the fast City backs shot through the gaps. Down the field marched the Lavenderg the Manhattan line, desperate, became over anxious, and went off-side three times in succession, bringing the ball to the four yard line, C. C. N. Y. first down. Here the Manhattan line, which had just been shoved all over the field, became rocklike. Three times the Lavender backs smashed against it,-three times the Jaspers piled them up. On the fourth down, City tried a fake place-kick but the alert Jaspers smeared the runner for a two yard loss. McBride attempted to kick out, but his kick was hurried and was poor, but after traveling about twenty yards, the ball hit a Lavender back, bounced away, and was immediately recaptured by Ferrari. McBride booted again, a good one this time, City immediately shot a punt back, and had Manhattan once more back up against the goal line. The Jaspers tried running the ball, and this time, the Lavender pressed, and was off-side on three successive plays. Still, they pulled themselves together, and held, and McBride punted. City once again started a steady march down the field, hurling the fight- ing Jaspers back. On down the field they went, slowly, unspectacularly, but surely. Once more they were on the four yard line, with a first down, and once again the battling forward line rose to the heights, while the Jasper rooters prayed and cheered and pleaded. Three successive times they piled up the Lavender smashes at the lineg on the fourth down, City elected to place-kick, and this time it was no fake. Hal- pern booted the ball squarely between the uprights, putting City in the lead, 10-7, while the Lavender section went wild with delight. The Manhattan rooters weren't downhearted. Yeah, exclaimed one, I remember two years ago when we had the game all sewed-up 10-7 on Neil Cohalan's drop-kick. VVait a while. The game isn't over. As a prophet, this fellow rated next to Isais. Right after the kickoff, McBride was shaken loose again, and cutting behind his interference beautifully, sped fifty-two yards before he was tackled. First down, on City's eighteen yard line. However, the goal was not so easily won. City, with defeat staring it in the face, battled to the last ditch, and held the Jaspers for downs. It looked as if it were all over, but, then, the Lavender punter, hurried by the maddened Green forwards, got off a short punt, which was captured by Stein and run to the twenty-three yard line. A perfect pass, McBride to Powers, over center, placed the ball on the twelve yard line, and, on the next play, Cronin, who had played well all day, went off tackle, and with the entire Lavender team sucked in, walked calmly over the line for the winning touchdown. Absolute bedlam broke loose in the Manhattan section. Inarticulate howls and screeches broke from hoarse throatsg the rooters were jumping and dancing and cheering. Burns once again kicked the point with a perfect effort, a kick which, by the way, kept the victory intact, for had he not made it City might have tied the score with a field goal. City received, and then took time out. The scoreboard showed four minutes to play. Then the Lavender helmeted boys began to toss forwards far and wide, mix- ing them up with end runs. First down! McBride broke up one pass and then another. City completed a long one and was deep in Manhattan territory. McBride broke up another forward, in beautiful fashion. City went around the end for a short gain. Third down, six to go. A smash at the line was stopped by the des- Iuo Hundwd Light 3 ,, .. ,L , ' + ff ,, ss X, N-kgs' 1 K ':il.
