teams were evenly matched and played
excellent, clean ball, but the game end
cd in very unsatisfactory manner
Ridgway had the best OF the argument
during most of the first half, their big
gains through the line showed the
result of practice.
A great deal of time was consumed on
account OF the spectators rushing on
the field, neither side caring to continue
playing until the field was clear. IL
took an hour and ten minutes to play
the FIRST half. officer Williams hand
ling of the unruly element on the side
lines was appreciated by all.
THE GAME.

line, Williams ran it back 10 yards
Bohren made 20 yards around right
end Coping and Gibson each made
short gains through the line. End runs
failed to gain and ball went to Ridgway
on downs. Ridgway made several good
gains on line plunges. The Indians
by playing too high gave an advantage
to the opponents by their added weight.
Ridgway was penalized yards for of
side play. On the next play Ridgway
made touchdown on a fumbled ball,
but as the ball had been called down"
the play was not allowed. The ball
was brought back and large gains made
again through the Indians line. Ridg-
ways quarter got around right end for
touchdown but as referee had not
signalled for play to go on the ball was
brought back. Several short gains were
made through the line. Ridgway again
penalized 8 yards. Two more line
plunges failed to gain an inch and with
third down and ten yards to gain Ridg-
way tried to drop kick from field but
missed 1t by several feet. The Indians
kicked out from the 20 yard line. Ridg-
way fumbled ball and were forced to
kick, Gibson caught ball and made 10
yards before down. On the line up

yards. eastman, with three men cling
ing to him, made 10 yards around left.

couple of yards. Bohren again got
around right for so yards and a touch

to Ridgway and ball was returned to
40 yard line, On big plunges through
the line and short gains on the ends

40 yard line where they were held for
downs. Bohren failed to gain and the
ball was given to Coping who smashed
through tackle for 10 yards. eastman
went around left end for 10 more which
would have likely resulted in touch
down had he not been forced to the
field by the spectators. On the next
play Bohren, like bolt of German
lightning, got around right end for 60
yards and touchdown. Ridgway
claimed there was holding on the line.
