of the game during the first half in

they were not able TO keep up the
pace in the final half and in these
last twenty minutes the boys from
Washington marched down the field

center for two touchdowns, Steener-
son kicking goal after both Babcock' s
and Stevens touchdowns.
st. John S score came after Brady
had gotten away for 50-yard end

however, having stepped outside near
the 40-yard line Battle then made
10 yards on fake quarterback run, to
which Melvin, Mckinley and Duval
added 10. 10 and yards, bringing
the leather to point near the coveted
line. which Duval crossed on the
next play on fake end play. Battle
failed at goal.
Washington opened the second half
by kicking off to Duval on his own
before being downed. St. Johns fail
ed TO gain and was forced TO kick to
Steenerson in midfield. The Washing
ton quarterback got back 10 yards be-
fore the st. johns tRoklers got him.
Beard, Morris and Steenerson then
ripped off 5 yards apiece through the
st. Johns center, and then Morris

yard line. The kick was received by
Steenerson in midield, and the Wash.
ingtonians began a steady hammering
of the local center. No long runs
were made, but the march, while slow

the tackle for 10 yards and a score.

mediately thereafter the Washington
ians returned the favor. Duval, Gov

skin. The blue and gold line was un.
able to hold however, and Duval was
forced to kick. Fields juggled the
leather and Brady fell on it for st
Johns. From here the local collie
gians put up as game a fight as has
been seen on the local field this season
and, aided thy several good end gains
by Duval, finally landed the pigskin
