Med- ford kicked to Somerville, and the ball was downed on Somerville's twenty-five-vard line. Jones kicked to Medford's forty-yard line. After a series of plays in centre field, Somerville gave the ball to Jones for a magnificent run of seventy-five yards to Medford's one-yard line, where time was called for first half. No score. In the second half the ball was in Medford’s ter- ritory most of the time. About three minutes after the half began. Somerville once more reached Med- ford’s onc-vard line. She was prevented from scor- ing then by the imagination of the umpire. It had been playing him tricks all through the game, and now it made him believe he saw an offside play when no one else on the field could see it. The ball was taken back to Medford’s ten-yard line. After a few rushes. Underhill was thrown over for a touchdown. Story kicked the goal. In the last minute of plav Medford tried a drop kick for goal, which failed by several feet.

Eaton, of last year’s victorious relay team, has won honor for himself and the Quindonian Club by his magnificent performances at Buffalo on Sep- tember 5 and 6. He ran the sixty-yard dash in six and two-fifths seconds, defeating Hargrave, the man who recently won the 100 in the dual games with the English athletes, and Westney. Pennsyl- vania’s crack. The 110-yard was won by him in eleven and two-fifths seconds, against a very stiff wind. Great credit is due Mr. Samson, who has trained the school track team for several years, and to the Quindonian Club, by whose efforts Eaton was enabled to make the trip for his fine exhibition. At the annual meeting of the S. H. and L. A. A., held Wednesday, September 18, the following offi- cers were elected: President, Percy Underhill, E..

In the second half, when Holy Ci oss came nearest to scoring, a player of that team cleared his opponent’s line, and, running sixty ards, was tackled from behind by the speedy Som- erville man. and downed just five yards from the goal line.
