Varsity Football 'k ir 'k T THE termination of another grid season, we may pride ourselves on our excellent football team. At the end of two losses, a scoreless tie, and five victories, defeating the Little Navy,', and bringing home a cup as a token of that vic- tory, crowned the season as a success. The opening game was with the powerful Concordia eleven, but even in the first half of the dynamic running attack of the maroon gridmen netted three scores. ln the second half the visitors came back much stronger, and scored their only touchdown, in the third quarter. A second time the cadets forced the Concordia defense down and took another tally to end the game with a score of 25 to 6 in favor of the home team. For their second contest the N. Y. M. A. team were visitors of Pawling where, although the score was 0-0, the cadets proved that A team that won,t be beaten can't be beaten. By inter- cepting many of the cadets' passes, the Pawling team repeatedly brought the ball within scoring distance, but each time the maroon line became impregnable. The outstanding moments of play were in the first half when for three downs Cornwall's stonewall defense held the ball on the four yard line. Again in the second half, the Little Army team showed their deter- mination when they held the ball on the one yard line, without giving an inch for two downs. After many incomplete passes a spectacular game came to an end with both goal lines un- crossed. The ensuing week the cadets met Liberty High School. The home eleven outplayed the team from up state in every detail. The first score came early in the first quarter when a long pass from Lowell to Cohen, H., was completed. The second score, like the first, was the result of a successful pass. After Kohout, Lowell and Daniels advanced the ball well into their opponent's territory, a toss from Lowell to Marr raised the score at the half to 12-0 in the cadets, favor. The third quarter proved dull and uninteresting, however, in the last quarter two more tallies were chalked up by the maroon as the most beautiful demonstration of blocking seen in a long while permitted Lowell to run seventy yards for a most spectacular score.
