...either team until the very last play. So evenly were the sevens matched that it was really a toss-up which would win and with the innumerable critical scrimmages continually going on, first in front of one goal and then in front of the other, especially in the "sudden death" period when a score meant a win, the crowd was given an exhibition of the coolest and most brilliant goal tending.
