Bemis downed Richards, who tried to run, Coxe tried to gain ground, and from the "down" he made the ball was passed to Bayne, who slipped through. Time was called ere he could reach the line. Some papers gave this a touchdown, but Mr. Look, the referee, said that, both time was called before Bayne went over, and also that the ball was not properly put in play...
