Vile receiving the kickoff. Salem =
wretched kick was only exceeded by
the bum catch Of the visitors, and the
game was on. Tho Baptists certainly
went at Il "hammer and tongs" and
were carrying tho ball rapidly down

handled Il fully as badly as did their
opponents on tho opening Of tho game
They failed 20 make their yafdage on
tho arst down and a tumble on a dou'
bio pass gave tho eollogians tho ball
on tho High school's seven yard line.
Another minute and a half Of hard
playing found tho ball on tho other
side Of tho goal line, held snugly In
tho arms Of a MeMinnville player.

across tho goh line with the pigskln

Salem again received the kick, and
II she played well before they now
played brilliantly, and within fOuI

legged slugging aud Holman was pui
in at quarter in his place.
