...toward the Canada goal, and Herrick, assisted by Curtis, obtained a touch-down. Leeds punted the ball out from the touch-line to Hall, who tried for a goal but failed to obtain it, he having punted the ball over instead of kicking it. In this inning Wetherbee and Cate made some fine runs, and there was some pretty dodging by Grant.
