start. and just sixteen minutes from the
start they crossed the Quaker's goal line,
GoerZ carrying the ball. House made
failure of his punch-out, for try at goal.

did low kick. which hit Francis in the
chest and bounded back into Alexander's
hands. who carried il forward ten yards.

yards around the left end. Torrey push

failed in his attempt 10 advance. Alex
ander gain made a ten yard gain and the
ball was on NewtOn's five yard line, when
an unfortunate tumble lost the Quakers
the ball. Newton carried it steadily back
TO the center OF the field, when time was
called for the first half.
