Scoring a hard-fought 13-12 victory over Lowell Tuesday afternoon, the Kirkland eleven will challenge Winthrop supremacy today. Only one point behind the Puritans and with a win counting two points, victory for the Deacons means that they will meet Yale in the annual House-College gridiron struggle.
On the other hand, if the puritans beat Kirkland, and then either win or the their final contest against the strong Elephants, they will once again walk off with the House football title.
Lowell Plays Flashy Game
Lowell almost tied a knot in Kirkland's string of victories Tuesday when two brilliant attacks in the second and third quarters left the Bellboys just one point behind their opponents.
Intercepting a pass on his own ten-yard line, Elliot B. Knowlton '38 ran 90 yards to tally the losers' first score, but Lowell failed to convert. In the third period Knowlton ran back a punt to the Deacons' 20-yard stripe, Mark H. Cornell '37 shot a pass to A. Judson Wells, Jr. '38, Knowlton gained seven yards off tackle, and Clarence A. Beehower, Jr. '37 scored from the three-yard line.
Wiley E. Mayne '37 crossed the goal for Kirkland in the first period; and a pass from George T. Cushman '37 to Richard H. Wills, Jr. '38 tallied the Deacons' second touchdown. The same pair converted.
