Two tandem plays through tackle and a punt gave the first the ball again on their 45-yard line. Wendell, on a double pass, made an excellent onside kick, which was recovered on the second's 50-yard line by Fish. From there, by an end run, Wendell, with clever assistance from Newhall, made 25 yards. An intercepted onside kick gave the second the ball, and they punted...
