...Battery was outweighed and outplayed from the very beginning. The line plays of the heavier Cadet backs were much more effective than the end runs on which the Battery based its greatest hopes. Sands made two or three pretty runs but in general the backs were slowed up too much by the wet field to be able to gain, and they frequently slipped and were thrown for a loss...
