...Adams kicked off again for '98 and '99 got the ball on the thirty-five yard line. W. Adams then cleared the left end and ran down the field for a touchdown but was called back on account of holding in the line.

Perkins tackled strongly, but was injured so early in the game that no opportunity was given of judging of his possibilities as a back. Bull also dove into the interference well but in his rushing showed a lack of experience...
