high order each attempt being sue
cessful, The long runs of Harris
we're beauties but each man in p. AS
team had part in them for without
: splendid interference they could never
been made. Potter's line buckine
! was the right thing in the right place
! always effective.
For the L. C. AS. Jackson easily
holds the palm, all his playing being
characterized by force and snap. Hi

. was necessary to assist him to hi
! feet after each down. He only con
