blessing of a free press. It is one of

When football is played tfnder worse
conditions than last Friday night, w"e
don't want to be there, that is, unless
the Pioneers can give a duplicate performance. The Green and White played
heads up ball to hand a strong Stand-
ish team a 6-0 beat'ing in a game that
was packed with thrills for a few hardy spectators who braved the inclement weather.
Superior numbers in the line wore
out the heavier visitors to such an
extent that, although Standish made
three first downs, their net gain from
scrimmage was three yards. Reported
to be a passing team, Standish could
complete but one of four tries through
the air for seven yards, while the Pioneers were hitting three of four attempts for a total of twenty-nine
yards. Poor blocking again hampered |
the Pioneer ball carriers, although
there was a noticeable improvement
in this department.
Clare wasted no time in taking the
lead. After receiving the opening
kick, the Green and White tried two
plays and punted to the Standish 20
yard strip. The Standish safety fumbled   the   ball   and   Willard   Ireland
