No gain had been made, and the fate
that governs the fortunes of football
had saved the U. of U. from a Crescent
| touchdown.
The u. of U. took the ball on downs.
A grim determination, the determine
ton of a last desperate resistance, was
in the faces of the red and white. The
ball was passed to Kimball, and his
hard, 1.-THE form bored through the OPP
posing line like tavelin. The Cres-
cents were pushed five yards back
from the goal posts. Porter pounded
his way through for three yards.
Hampstead dashed through, with the
speed of a flying spectre, and carried
the ball out of danger. A great
Glamour arose among the u. of Z.
shouters. Young, the steady and i'm
movable, was tried through the center
and pushed the ball three yards
farther from the point of danger.
Then the punched, sinewy form of
Porter, with a whole legion of strength
behind, bore once more through the
enerny's ranks.
Gilmer received the ball, but the slip
periness beneath was fatal to hasty
start, and the Crescents brought him
down without a gain on the 25-yard
line.
The onslaughts of the Crescents this
time were met with superb opposition.
Lawless and Price both pounded in
vain on the impregnable U. of U. front,
and once more the oval was with the

Kimball drove through the center in
a way that nothing could resist The
red and white now waved triumphantly.
Their almost shattered hopes were
again fired. Porter, Young and Gilmer
pounded their way through the Cres-

surely moving towards the Crescent

How the Battle Was Fought and tn,
Victory Won.


Victory Won.
When the two teams came over the
campus on the trot, there was flutter-
ing among the bleacher flags, and U.
Of U. and Crescent cheer banged sim
ultaneously over the field. They looked
like warriors of many CORY battles.
Their canvass suits bore upon them the
trimmings of other conflicts.
Kimball won the toss uD, and when
the referees whistle sent its first blast
over the field his men were gathered
on the East goal O'Brien made the
kick off, and Porter came dashing back
with the oval to the 4O-yard line. When
they lined up again, Kimball took the
leather and crashed through the center
for five yards. Then the oval was FUN
bled and went to the Crescents.
The Crescents kept the snow-clad
leather for only moment. In the next
scrimmage it went spinning over the
snow, and the blonde dome of Young
closed over it. Hampstead and Odell
battered the center with small gains.
Then Odell tried punt and the ball
went spinning back into Crescent ter
ritory, but the alert O'Brien got pos
session of it and placed it on the So
yard line. The 'Crescents at once be-
gan savage hammering on the U. of
U. line. O'Brien dashed through for
three yards and then Price darted
through the line and conveyed the oval
ten yards to the forward, where he
was winged by the fleet Hampstead.
O'Brien made another of his dashes
through the center. Price banged
through for five yards, and in the
scrimmage his features We're damaged

The U. of U. stood like a wall of

the U. of U. front, but found it i'm
passable, and the red and white were
again possessors of the ball.
Odell tried the doubtful experiment of
a punt, which resulted unhappily, al
though Jepson's huge form was on the
ball. The Crescents, who secured the
oval on a tumble, tried a retaliatory
punt, but the effort brought grief to
the red and blue, for Odell gathered in
the ball.
