Eliot, with two games left to play, moved still closer to an undefeated House football season yesterday by scoring a 26 to 7 victory over Kirkland. At the same time an eight-piece band cheered Leverett to a 13 to 0 win over victory-starved Dudley.
In the Eliot-Kirkland game, Charley Cabot scored the first Elephant touchdown midway through the first period on a quarterback sneak from the five yard line. Dick Hinds, who kicked the extra point, tallied again for Eliot in the second period when a sustained running attack brought the Mastodons from their own 40. Hank Greenberg went over for Eliot's third touchdown during the closing minutes of the first half on an end run from the seven yard line, but Hinds' third conversion attempt was blocked.
Deacons Lose Chance
Kirkland dominated the third period with Slug Dolan and Dick Larkin threatening several times with long runs through the line. But the Deacons lost the ball in their own territory on a fumble early in the fourth period, and Eliot scored its final touchdown on an off tackle smash by Fred Rinelander.
During the final minutes of the game, Roger Wach skirted the sideline for 55 yards to score Kirkland's only touchdown. John Tangen drop-kicked the extra point.
Leverett's first score came with the last play of the first quarter on a 30 yard pass from Sam Paschal to Jules Gerelick, who ran ten yards to the goal. Jerry Gallo kicked the point.
The final Leverett touchdown came in the last period when Gallo caught a Dudley punt and, with the help of effective blocking, ran 40 yards for the touchdown.
Backs Dave Mahoney and Jack Collins worked an effective passing attack for the undermanned Dudley squad, serving both on defense and offense.
A spirited Leverett band serenaded the crowd and spelled out BUNNY--one letter at a time--during the half.
