had commenced. Time one minute.
On the next kick off Watertown FUN
BLEED and fell on the ball, Miller and
Cowan dropping ON the man on Water

short end runs carried the ball to the 80
yard line when Webster held them for
four downs.
Webster then took the bali aad show
ed Watertown a trick or two about buck,
ing the liue. Richey, Dolan and Egeland
carried the ball steadily down the field
by successive plunges thro' the line,
aided by the whole team, which worked
together finely on line plays.
On the - yard line the signal was
given for "A fake buck and as the whole

ed Watertown off tn ir feet, holding them
for downs nearly every time withGat a
gain. The entirs half was played in
Watertowns territory and at the call of
time the ball was on W~atertown's 20
yard line in Webster's possession.

another touch down except for two or
| three close decisions OF the referee, by
which WATERFOWL got possession of the
