blocked and Sprague carried the
ball to Platteville's 40-yard line. A
few plays and Lancaster scored. In
trying the goal the ball touched the
ground and the goal was not al
lowed. Lancaster received the kick
off and fumbled ON the 20-yard line
Platteville again scored and Lawton
kicked hard goal. Lancaster Sc
cured the ball on her own 10 yard
line and by a series Of long runs
and line plunges soon had the ball
in Platteville's territory, but fun
BILE lost the ball Lancaster soon
secured it and in two plays had the
ball on Platteville's 25-yard line,
