The second touchdown was made

whole game
The Male Ilimas had been fighting
hard for the enemy's ground. The tus

middle OF the field. The Hackfslds
were doing their best TO turn the tide
and force the Ilimas back on their

starboard side of the goal Cupid
made mighty run and the crowd held

But two Hackfeld men remained in
the path of the onward rushing Cupid.
They stood not far apart. They were
near the boundary. Cupid saw that

grinned and the mob howled again.
The yelling Of the multitudes gave the
