eight yards of the u. of q. goal posts
With the ball again In danger, the
Z. of u. team rallied for a stubborn
resistance to the High School attacks.
Howell drove against their center, but
found it solid as an ice wagon. Tarpey
made push forward, Hedger fumbled
and Evans gathered in the ball. Moss
went through a serious tumble which
sent the ball spinning back several
yards, and just as Robbins fell upon it
the referees whistle shrieked and the
first half was over.
I. of u, G; High School, o.
The U. of u. when time was called
again, took the east goal, and when
the oval went spinning westward. Tel
ford planted ii on the 25-yard line.
Trip went through beautifully for
seven yards and again went into the
enemy's territory.
The oval went TO the High School on
downs. Hedger executed a tumble and
Mackie was there to take it up. Rob-
bins then sprung the criss-cross, but
the Juniors were onto his curves and
ne came to grief and the snow with
out gaining yard. Meakin attempted
an end play, but forgot the necessity of
interference, and was brought to grass,
or to where the grass would have been
without the snow Stanton, as quar-
terback, watched the ball as the hot
tomato man watches for stray nickles
The battle now went on thickest on
the 25-yard line. The u. of u. got the
ball again on down, but Pembroke
fumbled and Haye placed it for safe
keeping on the 20-yard line.
The oval now passed out of icy hands
fast and frequently, and each team
gathered in the ball and lost again
with great facility. Howell and Tar
pie tried some more of their pounding
bucks, and the u. of u. lines melted
gradually but Stubbornly until the ball
was again on the eight-yard line of
University territory. The u. of u. here
made great stand at a rally, and
Sprague was sent bounding through the
center for four yards.
The second half was now on the
wane, and again the wild enthusiasm
from the High School part of the
bleachers ceased to be. The Roadway
of the High School through the cen
ter was impeded as it had not been
before. Howell made a burst toward
the left, but the left end man was
there, and HowelPs career ceased
briefly, as did that of nearly every one
who attempted to drill round the Evans
end.
The L. of Z. stood like a Roman
guard. The High School found the line
impossible as Gibraltar. and the oval
again went to the U. of u. on downs.
Inc HlSn SchOOl took the leather again
on downs, but it faded from their midst
like an autumn leaf in a Kansas cy-
clone. Trip went through the right
tackle for five yards and Sprague
tapped off four yards more of High
School territory. Then Moss gathered
his compact corporeally together and
plunged at the center and ceased not
until he had marked off ten yards of
snow clad terra firma for his own.
When the High School again cap
tured the slippery leather they made a
desperate effort TO retrieve their fo--
tunes They left the T. of u. line fol
moment and tried the criss-cross.
Robbins took the ball. but Pembroke
halted him on the exact latitude that he
started from.
That was the doom of the High School
athletes and their colors no longer fiut-
tered from the bleachers The fates
of war had decided against them.
Sprague drilled through the right end
for five yards and hung the oval on the
2o-yard line. Trip and Moss made
another launch and the ball rested on
the snow which covered the 35-vari
line. Then the referees whistle blew.
The second half was ended In a mo-
ment the bleachers We're vacant and
the people came crowding over the
campus, and the detected High School
ties and triumphant u of u. disap-
! peared from the campus together. The
score had not changed since the first
half. - %
