At the start, Claverly did not hear the pistol, and Randolph gained an advantage of about half a length. By the time the first corner was reached they had gained another quarter of a length, and were only three-quarters of a length behind.

At this point the team took a brace and carried the ball the whole length of the field for a touchdown, Gilbert scoring. The last touchdown was made by Nourse who ran 65 yards after getting the ball on a fluke...
