played the Cardinals in every department of the game, finally coming from behind in the second half to score a 14-6 victory. Eigenbauer made substantial gains time after time and contributed several breathtaking runs. He also scored the first touchdown after receiving a pretty pass from Marquet. Sampers plunged over for the other score, and Amport, whose play was the feature of the afternoon, converted the additional points. Hanaghan played a fine game at tackle and Weber used uncanny judgment in running the Trinity plays. This long-awaited victory was the first at the expense of Wesleyan in eight years and was obtained mainly by an unbeatable combination of real spirit and unselhsh team play. Rated as a decided underdog in the Amherst game, due to lack of reserves and a natural let-down after Wesleyan, the Trinity eleven went a step further in proving its unquestionable merit by beating the Sabrinas 7-6, to score a major upset in New England football circles. Amherst took an early 6-0 lead, but Trinity shook Kellam loose on a trick play for a touchdown, and Amport's educated toe added that very necessary extra point. The Blue and Gold played alert football all the way and made every break count. Maher, who has been elected captain for next fall, gave a fine performance, and, along with Kellam and Amport, in particular, played a big part in the first success Trinity has had against the Lord Jeffs in fifteen years. Coach J essee certainly is to be complimented on the great work he has accomplished in only two years' time, and with only Kingston, Brewer, Fritzson, Gallaway and Kelly missing from the regular line-up next fall, it is to be hoped that his efforts will be rewarded with an even better record than that turned in by this year's fine squad.

Varsity Football After a decade of indifferent success on the gridiron, a powerful 1933 team returned Trinity to her place on the football map and established itself as one of the most outstanding elevens in the long history of the college. Although handicapped by a dearth of man-power, al- ways an important factor in the building of good foot- ball teams, the Blue and Gold smashed through to four triumphs in a six game schedule, and the fruits of victory proved even sweeter than usual as all three major op- ponents of the year, Connecticut State, Wesleyan and Amherst, were numbered among the defeated. The season started off inauspicieusly when Colby scored a 12-0 win over Trinity at Waterville, Me. The game was a hard fought affair until a last-period aerial attack brought the home team their two touchdowns. Captain Kingston, at guard, and Maher, center, starred on the defensive forTrinity. Alden led the Colby attack. In the first home contest Trinity found herself and ran roughshod over a hapless Worcester Tech. team to register an impressive 25-7 victory. Eigenbauer, Marquet and Sampers battered the Engineer's line to shreds all afternoon, working from an effective single wing-back formation. Alexander and Kellam stood out on the line. The United States Coast Guard Academy upset the dope by administering a surprising 13-0 setback to the Blue and Gold in the third game of the campaign at Trinity Field. Brilliant running on the part of Lathrop, and continued evidences of weakness in pass defence by Trinity spelled the margin of defeat. It was a hard game to lose, as Trinity showed fight every minute of the contest. Kellam exhibited great improvement in punting, while Eigenbauer contributed some nice open-field running. With a lay-off of a week behind them, the Trinity eleven evcned its record for the season by trouncing Connecticut State 13-0 at Storrs. Straight football, with Brewer at fullback in the key position, resulted in eighteen first downs being rolled up. It was a drab game, and the Blue and Gold tossed away many chances to score more heavily. Fritzson gave a fine performance at end. The climax of the season came when Trinity secured a decisive win over Wes- leyan in the objective game of the year at Middletown. The Blue and Gold out- 162
