Eleven fighting Deacons smashed through a six-point half-time handicap Thursday afternoon to down Winthrop 12 to 6, and walked off with the 1936 House football title. They will meet the champion team among the Yale colleges later this month, to decide the House-College supremacy.
Winthrop Scores First
Edward L. Cutter, Jr. '38 got away first on an off-tackle plunge to run 25 yards through a broken field, climaxing a steady Puritan offensive with a second quarter score. Thomas B. Champion '38 failed to convert.
Kirkland came right back with a 30-yard pass from George T. Cushman '37 to Richard H. Wills, Jr. '38, and a 15-yard penalty against Winthrop put the ball on the five-yard stripe. Cushman tallied on the third line buck, but the kick was blocked.
An early third quarter Deacon drive was halted on the ten-yard stripe, but Kirkland started a last offensive with another Cushman-to-Wills pass, good for 20 yards. Three plays later Alan P. O'Kelly '38 ran 25 yards to clinch the game for the new title-holders. The kick failed.
The lineup: Substitutes: Kirkland--Keene, Malcolm, Forbes, Jordan, Barnard, Salant, Lubin, Jones, Stubbs. Winthrop--Brookings, Young, Higgs, Lewisohn, Gilliand, Pedrick, Bergstein.
