I've always wanted to run down onto the field and carry the pigskin through that line of Blue, myself. I'll bet I could shake off those tacklers...
...next score also came in the first period when T. F. Mason '30 and S. L. Batch elder '31 carried the pigskin over from the scrub 40-yard line in three plays.
