ield played the opponents to a standstill in the first half and
scored just before the end of it. In the third quarter Coach Robey began
substituting and when the last ten minutes started the Maroon-and-Grey
had only three first-string fellows in her line-up. The substitutes
played good football and, while not able to push the pigskin across
Morgan's line, twice reached her fifteen yards and twice tried and
narrowly missed a goal from the field.

On the whole it could not be said that Brimfield's performance that
blustery Saturday afternoon was impressive, for she was frequently
caught napping on the defensive, showed periods of apathy and did more
fumbling, none of which resulted disastrously, than she should have.
Tim Otis had a remarkably good day and was undeniably the best man in
the backfield for the home team. Carmine played a heady, snappy game,
and Don, who played the most of three quarters at left guard, conducted
himself very well. Don's work was never of the spectacular sort, but at
his best he was a steady and thoroughly reliable lineman and very
effective on defence. He was still slow in getting into plays, a fact
which made him of less value than Joe Gafferty on attack. Even Harry
Walton showed up better than Don when Brimfield had the ball. But
neither Gafferty nor Walton was as strong on defence as Don.

Walton had been very earnestly striving all the week to capture the
guard position, but the fact that Don had been played through most of
the Morgan's game indicated that the latter was as yet a slight
favourite in Coach Robey's estimation. During the week succeeding the
Morgan's game the two rivals kept at it nip and tuck, and their
team-mates looked on with interest. At practice Mr. Robey showed no
favour to either, and each came in for his full share of criticism, but
when, the next Saturday, the team journeyed away from home and played
Cherry Valley, it was again Don who started the game between Thayer and
Thursby and who remained in the line-up until the fourth period, by
which time Brimfield had piled up the very satisfactory score of
twenty-six points. In the final five minutes Cherry Valley managed to
fool the visitors and get a forward pass off for a gain that placed the
ball on Brimfield's fourteen yards, and from there her drop-kicker put
the pigskin over the cross-bar and tallied three points. The game was
uninteresting unless one was a partisan, and even then there were few
thrills. Brimfi
