time Simpson had not been scored upon
ard it was this game which was to show
the strength of Simpson for future
games with Grinnell, Ames, Drake and
the State Normal Simpson was ever
confident, and while she won the game
by a score of % to 10, it made her team
sad on account of her opponents aoil-
sity to cross her much coveted goal.

strength the eleven from Cornell forced
1t over, being the first team to cross
Simpsons goal line. Score, % to 10.

OF line smashes carried the ball right
along until within one yard Of Cornell's
goal. Here the ball went to Cornell on
downs. Cornell punted thirty yards and
Dean came back ten. In the next play
Dean made a pretty place kick, which
ended the game. Score, 81 toto.
1t was a hard-fought game from start
to finish. simpsons line was too strong
for. Cornell, but her backs were too slow
fortthe boys from Mount Vernon. Simp-

team.
