By fierce bucks and IT vanced the ball to within three yards of their opponents goal where they lost it on downs after a mighty at- tempt to pierce the Marion line which had taken a decided brace and was firm as . rock wall.
 The ball was given to Marion's backs who rushed the ball down the field by snapp end runs, proteced by su- perb interference. The ball was lost and recovered during the half by both teams on account of ragged playing and the ball see-sawed about the field. With the ball on Starkes twenty i've yard line. Smith, Marion's left half broke through the line and ran the in- tervening distance for the first touch- l down of the game. Holt missed an easy. attempt to kick goal.

 times. with only short distance to go | lost the ball on plays of bad judgment, though twice the spectators. crowdins on the field prevented almost certain touchdowns by Captain Elsberry of Starke who ran clear of interference | only to be stopped by the crowd which | bfockaded an open field.
 The ball never got into the Starke | territory and Marion was placed en- | tirely on the defensive.
 The entire Starke team played a f,tls fine fhofr oxyta opponents and practically every man was a star.
 For Marion. the backs and tackles were especially noticeable in their play and at critical stages, the entire line stood nobly and saved distaster for their team. Their play was quick
 and fast and their interference would have done credit to many college teams. Marion was several times pen- alized for various violations. The starke boys never suffered on this ac- count.
