short, with three yards to gain. Coch-
rane tried a slow pass, but failed to
gain the distance and it was the nor
mails ball on downs.
The normals used a slow pass to
Shute, who made a small gain. Stelz-
reide tried to go through the guard,
but failed the Indians taking the ball.
Burk gained four yards and then came
a brilliant end run, which, to the au-
dience, was the most attractive and ex-
citing feature of the game. Burk took
the ball, and behind clever interference,
went around Carter's end, lodging the
tackles, and was only downed after
run of twenty-five yards. Buck then
took the ball around Goodwins end
for five yards. The Indians tried their
backs several times, but failed to gain
ground, and Enos was forced to kick
for forty yards. The normal man fun
bled the ball and it was caught by
Duncan, who was downed cleverly by
Shute Shute then did some brilliant
work, stopping the Indians twive be-
hind the line. Again Burk broke away
from the crowd and was stopped by
Stelzreide after he had put fifteen
yards to the credit of the Indians. Buck
gained five yards, but the Indians were
brought back, as the umpire had called
time. They then tried the revolving
nd wi
right end for twelve yards, being
stopped by Stelzreide. Enos was
downed behind the line, losing four
yards. Time was then called, ending
the first half.
Second half.-The normals kicked off:
Buck catching the ball on the 5-yard
line and passing it to Burk, who made
a twenty-yard run. The Indians made
number of small gains and Enos then
made a twelve-yard run behind splen-
did interference. Shute was badly
knocked out in attempting to break up
the play, but he soon recovered con-
sciousness and the game was resumed
for small gains, and Sylvia got the ball
for a twenty-yard run. He was stopped
by Stelzreide, who made one of the
prettiest tackles of the game The In
dians tried several trick plays, but
failed to gain, the normals getting the
ball on their 20-yard line.

four yards, then a tandem play, but
lost three. Again they tried tandem,
but made no gains. Stelzreide punted
for thirty yards, but the Indian man
made fine catch and long run so
that the normals only gained five yards
by the play. The Indians proceeded to
rip things up, sending the halfback
through the guards and Burk around
the end for ten yards. but they lost the
distance gained by Burk striking the
man who attempted to tackle him.
Buck ran for five yards and was
downed by Woolf. The Indians ad-
vanced the ball by short rushes, using
guard and tackle plays. Burk fumbled
the ball and lost ten yards, but the
teams were called back for offside
playing.
The Indians were directly in front OF
the goal and Cochrane, calling his ends
back, gave the signal for a drop kick
The ball left Enos' foot and sailed like
base ball from Hogan's bat directly
over the goal. 1t was one of the hand
soonest goals from the field ever seen
on the Phoenix grounds. 1t did not oc-
cur to either the umpire or the referee
that this was anything other than a
drop kick until some of the officious
and too partisan rooters for the nor
NAL team set up howl that Enos had
punted the ball. The referee frankly
admitted that he did not see the kick,
and though the umpire and the two
linesmen, to whom the decision should
have been left under the rules, decided
that it was clearly drop kick, he took
the decision from them, and to the dis
gust of a majority of the spectators
called it touchback. By his rank
judgment he robbed the Indian school
of game which it had fairly won,
and it is greatly to the credit of that
team that the members were men
enough to continue the game which
they were playing against such tre-
mendous odds. An umpire should gov
ern his decision according to what he
sees and should not be Influenced by
rooters, no matter how pressing their
demands are.
From this point the Indians appeared
to lose interest in the game, and were
steadily forced down the field to their
2O-yard line, where Stelzreide was
forced to kick. The ball dropped inside
the goal and Haigler fell upon it, claim
ing touchdown, which was not al
