...gain on a recovered on-side kick, and a series of line plays averaging six yards apiece. Parker started the team off for the next touchdown, running 35 yard to Bates' 10-yard line after Burr had blocked Keeney's on-side kick. Brennan made the touchdown in two hard bucks through left tackle. On the next kick-off, Brennan ran back 24 yards, and Burr punted to Bates' 45-yard line. After several exchanges of punts, Newhall brought the ball from the middle of the field to the 40-yard line by clever dodging. After three plays, Burr...

There was not the snap in the work that has characterized the practice this fall and the fumbling was the worst of the season. There were few attempts to negotiate forward passes as the men followed them so poorly that they rarely regained the ball. The one redeeming feature of the afternoon was Coy's punting, his kicks averaging well over fifty yards. At present, there is title to choose between While...
