The ball was lined up on the thirty
yard line and the line was cautioned
to hold the visitors. Big Lockhart
passed the ball from the center and

{ line was playing too high and the bail
hit one of the local players and a col

the ball.
Newton went around the end for five
yards and big Llewellyn tried the same
thing but 20 the surprise and delight
of everyone was tackled behind the

fuss Baird gave up although it was a
hard matter to decide who the ball
really belonged to.

passed continually from one team to |
the other although the college boys |
kept the ball in FL Paso- territory and |
should have scored as they had several
chances but the Ell Paso boys although
hey had very little team work. were
playing such a great game individually
