interference by Kelly, Golden, Miller and
Clerkin, securing a touchdown after one
minute of play. Kelly kicked the goal.

team and succeeded in securing another
touchdown. No goal was kicked. Tan
dem plays on the Atlanta tackles yielded
many yards. Ward soon went through
for the third touchdown. The first half
ended with the ball on the Atlantas' ten
yard line. In the second half the At
lantas braced up remarkably. Reinforced
with several Jersey City players, they
prevented the Institutes from scoring
