but more so, for the Santa Anas scored in
three minutes and thirty-two seconds, the

for the visitors in nineteen seconds from the
kickoff. For the fifth time in the first half

the pace, knowing there were but few sec
onds left, and had the ball within four yards
of goal when the whistle sounded and the

whistle sounded, and the game ended with
the score 90 to II for Santa Ana
