and downed ST. Johns behind their goal
post. Duval punted out tor St. Johns
from the 2o-yaTd line. Swarthmore then
had their first chance at bucking the line
but lost the ball on tumble. St. Johns
now lined up and Carey ploughed through
Swarthmore' line for 10 yards, but he,
too, fumbed and Swarthmore gained the
ball. They now tried their "guards
back" formation and succeeded in gain
ing 20 yards. Here St. Johns took
prace and held Swarthmore for downs.
St. Johns again lined up. but again fun
bled. Cooper fell on the ball and st.
