BUCKNELL-GETTYSBURG BATTLE TO DRAW CROWD SATURDAY; FLYERS SLAY ACADEMY
Middle town Flyers Take Academy
Lively Trip Through the Clouds
The men in uniform from Middle
town Aviation plant took the Aca
demy team for a ride In the clouds
j yesterday in what was humanely
called a "practice game." These
practice games are mere childish tilts,
with no rough stuff, and the two
managers were only Interested in
trying out their demon athletes at
various points in the lineup. Of,
course, sometimes, even in these
friendly bickerings things happen, so
thought Manager Loose, at least,
when a great big rough clxidbuster
tackled him so hard after he made a
daisy catch that all the muscles of
his left leg were stlgtosslcd, his knee
disjointed and he was so stove up In
general that the first aid carried
him off. The soldiers made so many
goals that Manuger Lieutenant Blum
er, sent down town for an adding
machine, but it did not arrive in time
and so no one will ever know the
score.
The fray was so disconcerting and,
as it were, confounding, that the
sporting reporter only saw butz
saws and whingtables on the horizon.
He WSB certain, however, that many
touch downs were made, as evidence:*
"Dore, playing quarter, was per

the feature six-round bout of the

in excellent form and found little dif

meet the desire of the more enthu

consider the occasion one for "letting

for the soldiers. During t lie first
five minutes of play he dashed across
the goal line for six points, each
time. Ills first game was on a long
end run, the second when he inter
cepted a forward and the third when
he picked up the ball on a fumble and
ran forty yards tnrough a a open ile.d
for another touchdown. This man
also scored a few other touchdowns,
but as we have s.ild, the score was
too high to keep track of the num

The aviators carried on so l.riskly
that the historiii relates: "Not one
pass that was thrown b> the acting

the entire game was worked, except

are already noticeable. Pep and

technical play and formations are
being perfected by Coaches Leathers

a team as playing together are evi

backfleld is offering interference and
working together in a way that in

in general is measuring up to the
test about to be put upon it, will men
who have been suffering 'niicles

Dummy drills and other rudimentary
