QUAKERS' RESERVE STRENGTH.
With Bone out of the game Cunningham
and Houghton called all of their reserve
strength into play and with Doherty aiding
Alexander in defense the quartet put ND
stubborn fight and refused to be downed
without struggle. The Indians seemed to
fly into a thousand pieces and there was no

could not make their teaming count and

seemed TO take victory as matter OF fact
and did not put zip good defense. In fact.

did some pretty teaming and breaking
through what little defense Way and Cogs-
