"B” team to Bry an and play ed the j
strong Allen Academy eleven. Coach j

The Pirates were on the small end I

but the boys, put up a game light!
and there were some that showed
real ability.
In the second quarter Turner play-
ed a headv game and ran his team
in fine style.
George Smith was in his regular j

give the boys some real competition
before the year is over.
Woods and DuPuy looked line in I

Allen Academy had to play real |
football to win, for the Pirates were
in a lighting mood. The Academy
team made two of their counters as
a result of breaks in their favor and
the other two came as a result, of |
several forward passes.
