THE SECOND HALF.
| The second half of the game was by far
the better played on the side OF Portland
and the snap and vigor which they put
! into their plays made it extremely inter-
esting. South Portland found the pace
set for them by the High school boys to
| be an altogether too rapid one, and they
could not make any headway against
| their opponents. Still they stuck to the
work like heroes and met every play with
considerable courage and determination.
| Underwood kicked off for Portland
and the ball was caught by Plum on the
70 yard line. He took the pig skin to
| the rs yard line. White took the ball and
was downed by Anderson for loss OF
ground. Plum made gain of five yards
and then the ball went to Portland for
the centre for gain OF 10, and Anderson
added five more to it. Underwood went
five more and then Anderson carried the
| hall within yard OF the goal. He was
then pushed over the line and scored
touchdown from which Underwood kicked
a goal, making the score, Portland, IL;
South Portland, o. This was done in
| four minutes.
| Fitzgerald kicked off for South Port
land to Portland's 80 yard line. The ball
rolled ten yards before it was picked up
| by a POI tland man. Anderson finally
reached it and was Immediately tackled
and downed. Then came some rapid
work. Anderson, Weber, Underwood
and Thompson in turn took the ball and
| by going against the tackles and around
right end, took the ball the length of the
field and Webber was crowded over the
| line for another touchdown il four min
utes' work. Underwood kicked another
goal. making the score Portland. IS;
| South Portland, 0.

landed in the arms of Thompson on the
15-yard line. He made magnificent run
of 20 yards before he was downed. IN

utes.

kicked another goal. making the score
"a to O.. Thompson and Walker now re-
tired and Sam Anderson and Files substi-
tuted. Young Anderson took the position
