...safety, and one of the latter, a long-legged waiter dude got the ball, and making a tremendous run, scored a touchdown. One of the 200-pounders took out the ball and lying on his stomach held it, but the try at goal failed. Then the reds had a stroke of luck and made a touchdown, from which, after much advice from all sides, a goal was kicked...
