tucking the precious leather under his right |
arm, had 4 comparatively clear field if he Kent

speed, with head lowered and the ball clasped |
closely TO his side. Once, and only once does
he slip. but he quickly RECEIVERS himself and
with his legs working like piston rods he speeds
past one after the other of the outstretched
panions started to assist him by interfering.
LEE OUTSKIRTS THEM ALL.

the men slap each other on the back, wringlng
each others hands and shout themselves |
hOarse. Jim Lee is a hero and his run will
pass into history as the equal of Lamar's He |
covered fully 20 yards and if he ever PLAYS an
other game of football his fame will endure
