Hadlock of Bowdoin advanced to kick
off the ball and the crowd became quiet

to the Portland 35-yard line when the
pigskin was caught by Sullivan, who ad-
vanced about FIVE yards before he was
tackled
Portland at once commenced its fast
play. Sullivan and Smith circled the
opposite ends in turn and the first one
made gain of 10 yards. Cookson, by
his wisgl ing and fast running, went for
"a good 40 yardsthrough right tackle.
He was cheered again and again by the
crowd as tao kled by two of Bowdoin's
backs he continued tc push the ball

on his back, after he had been dragged
to his knees. Bowdoin began to play

here between Thornton and Hebron was
seen by large crowd today. Neither

SECOND TOUCHDOWN.

Bowdoin didn's know what to make Of
this rapid play. They were larger and
stronger, but they stuck to the old
Harvard tactics of mass playing and
close line, while Portland was spreading
out and pushed on in the manner pecu-
liar to old Eli.
On this kickoff Underwood caught the
ball on Portland's ten-yard line and ad-
yanced 20 yards before he was downed,
With proper interference he might have
gone to the middle of the field. On the
line up Smith was given the ball, but
was tackled for no gain by Clark. who
broke through the line. Anderson
pushed along five yards through left
tackle and then the yellow.shirted,
wiry Cookson took the ball on 3O-yards
spin down the field. Portland making
hole by bluff play through right tackle
big enough for horse to 60 through.
Again Cookson plunged through Bow
dom for eight yards. Sullivan for five
more round the end, Smith tried for an
other gain. but Sullivan in trying to
block him got in the way and spoiled
the advance
Portland 10 yards gain for of side
play" Cram was the Bowdoin man re-
sponsible for it, and this put the pig
skin ID dangerous proximity to Bow
doin's goal again. Several Portland men
had tries at Bowdoin with small gain
when Bobby Underwood took the ball by
one of his flying jumps to within three
yards Of Bowdoin's goal. Great cheer
ing from the side lines, but there was
more when Smith was pushed across the
line for second touchdown. Under
wood missed another goal, but the score
was P. H. S., g.; Bowdoins, O., and all in
10 minutes of play.
BOWDOIN GETS A GOAL.
The rooters from the college where
Phi Chi is sung On any and all ocoa-
sions did not feel much like singing at
this stage of the game. But they kicked
off to WIN touchdown and they sue
ceeded after some hard fighting. They
began by kicking the ball to Underwood
who advanced to the 35-yard limo before
he was downed. Clark was too anxious
for the ball and got of side sending
Portland 10 yards gain up tho field.
Cookson now took the ball for Portland,
but lost it to Bowdoin on tumble.
Then by successive rushes through the
centre which P. H. S. couldn't seem to
stop, the college boys scored their first
and only touchdown, Pratt being the
man to make it. Hadlock kicked a
goal, making the soors to 8 In favor of
Portland.
Only few minutes remained of the
Commute half to play, but some hot
work was done in thiDtime, Portland
fighting nobly and losing the ball to
Bowdoin on downs once and several
times on umhles. The half ended with
the ball on Bowdoin's 45-yard line.
