and made several similar unsuccessful attempts to smash the halves and tackles and outwit the ends. Failing in this they resorted to a wicked series of line plays which were mighty mean to stop. Alternating a plunging tandem with mass hurdle they succeeded in making the required distance for downs, and things looked a little shame-faced for the college rooters, as the ball was landed on the fifteen-yard line for a first down.
 A magnificent rally on the part of the defending line held the soldiers for no gain and the ball went to the varsity for first down. The varsity swung the ends for short gains to the enemy's 25-yard line, where the ball was lost on downs. The soldiers bucked the ball back past the center and lost a half back whose back was wrenched by being blocked in a flying buck. The ball went to the varsity on their 35- yard line on downs and they worked it back to the center of the field by mass plays on the ends, where time for the first half was called, the score being II to nothing.
 The second half was more lively
 
 the case, and it's result brought joy to the hearts of the home rooters. The varsity kicked the ball to the five yard line and it was run in thirty yards for first down. The soldiers again tried to force the ends without success and had recourse to their mainstay-massed bucks and flying line leaps. The tan dem and massed bucks avaiIed little ho1 n r1 yards was only made by Q scanty mar gin- Finding this impracticable the flying leaps were called into service with better success. as three downs netted six to eight yards and so saved the ball to the soldiers. But this method of distance gaining was too dear to be long employed, as the rowing quarter behind the line and the ever present halves would meet the hurdler in the air and the results were costly to strength and feelings, as this method of defense soon cOntrived to hold the soldiers for downs. The varsity now resorted to a varied series of plays in- cluding a mixture of end runs, tandem and massed bucks and hurdles, with eminent success. as the ball was forced to a touchdown six minutes after the ball was obtained.
 Grant kicked to the fifteen-yard line and the ball was run in 25 yards. End runs were here almost entirely aban- doned and the balance of the game was | bucking game during which the Grant boys got the ball once on q fum- ble and started down a clear field for the goal, but a fleet collegian gathered him in at a safe distance from that ! coveted point and the varsity held for downs. Getting the ball they ripped through the line over left guard and tackle and through right tackle for | substantial gains of five to ten yards | for another touchdown and goal. Pan demonium reigned and the crowd went wild with excitement, spreading over l the field and compelling the officials tc call the game until the field could he cleared.
 The soldiers kicked to the 25-yarC | line and the ball was run in 20 yards | for first down. Varsity seemed to be | listing their line just to see what il was valued al for they hammered away with plunging bucks for which the tackles and ends opened splendid holes and vaulted the guards for goodly distances. The collegians were seem
