...with a vengeance. Up the field the ball went in spite of everything '87 could do, Burnett, Austin, and Woodbury making good rushes. In was now growing dark, and the '87 backs seemed to have great trouble in catching and kicking the ball. The ball was downed not far from '87's line, Woodbury tried to rush it over, but without success. Burnett was equally unlucky.

'88 relied almost entirely upon her half-backs to play a rushing game, while eighty-seven trusted to the long kicks of her half-backs and the rushing of her quarter-back. Eighty-eight excelled in tackling, but eighty-seven was by far her superior in team play, and with her heavy rush line played a better blocking game. The support which the juniors gave their quarter-back was the noticeable feature of the game. Every man seemed to play for all he was worth, and the game was exciting throughout...
