Well so far it was dead easy for He
bron. The Portland men were utterly
Disguised with themselves and their
luok. So far they hadn't been In the
game at all and had big score against
them. But the luck, OF whatever it
was, had not yet turned. Cookson kicked
OF to Hebron's 10 yard line and Small
caught the ball and took it to the 30
yard line before he was stopped. Sulli-
van went around POrtland's right end
for ten yards more and then punted to
the center Of the field. This time Kel-
ly got under the ball and caught it
and Portland had chance. The very
first thing Capt. Dsvine gave the signal
for the triple pass and when the ball
was passed to Cookson, who had beau
tiful chance open for long run, be tunl-
bled 1t and Newcome, Hebrnn's quarter
back, broke through the line and capt
ured it. Sullivan went around right
end again for ten yards, Devine being
blocked Oft by Whitman in excellenJ
style. A tumble and OIL the third down
Sullivan attempted to punt again. This
time the kick was blocked by Foster
breaking through Hepron's line. Fos-
ter caught the ball on the rebound and
before Hebron's men recovered from
their surprise he carried the pig skin to
Hebron's rs yard line. Chase went
through pig hole in Hebr0n's line he
tween right tackle and the end for eight
yards. Kelley made five more through
the same place but Chase and Kelly
failed to gain and Hebron got the ball
on her ten yard line for downs. Port
land had lost her last chance in this half
to make a touchdown.
Everyone expected Johnny Sullivan
would punt again with the ball so near
his goal line but he didn't. Instead he
worked the smashing full back Small for
two gains of five yards each through
Portand's tackles and then Sullivan him
self took advantage of big hole in the
righJ of Portland's line and carried the
ball in As yards run to the center of
the field. Everyone cheered Johnny for
this big gain. 1t seemed natural as life
to see him sprinting away through the
opposing limo and leaving all would be
taoklers behind him. johnny would have
scored a touchdown by this run too if
Chase hadn't tackled him in q handsome
manner and brought him TO earth. He
bron quickly lined up again and Shan
non, Small and Sullivan worked the ball
down to Portlands rs yard line by
Tushes through the tackles. Hebron was
given ten yRlds more for off side play
and Sullivan carried the ball to PORT
lands ten yard lire. Here Portland held
