YALE FROSH After battling four wet and muddy quarters on her own field, the Yale Fresh- men walked off with a 25-7 victory over the Milford eleven. Facing a far heavier team under conditions favorable to plays calling for power rather than her own open fast strategem, Milford was able to cross Yale's goal line only once. From the opening kick-off the Maroon and White was on the defensive and it wasn't until the fourth period that Milford scored its touchdown via a pass from O'Hedy to Curren. Wilson's kicking prevented Yale from making any points in the last half although they drove deep into Milford territory several times. Curren and O'Hedy provided thrills in the backfield while Boyle, Yocher, and Shendell did fine work on the line. Final score: Milford 7-Yale Frosh 27. PAWLING Next Milford traveled to Pawling where they fought to a 0-0 deadlock with the New Yorkers. It was a nip-and-tuck game throughout, full of thrills. Both teams threatened several times but neither had the deciding punch to make its efforts count. Jimmy Curren deserved great praise for his work in this game, his passing and running being the spark of the Milford offense. The Milford line was also slated for congratulations on their dogged holding when four times they were fighting from back of their own 15 yard line. Final score: Pawling 0- Milford U. CHESHIRE For their next game the team traveled to Cheshire to play another traditional rival. Even though this squad is reputed to be one of the best f'prep school teams V :Sir i V
