last half Of the game the visitors made
some Of their best gains by tackle back
plays through Goddard's line.
Norwich started the game by kicking
off to Goddard. The ball struck the
ground and rolled to Knapp, who stood
near the goal line. He rushed in ten

line, Knapp circled their left end and
with great work in lodging Norwich's
backs ran the distance for a touch down.

cessfully, to gain through the home

for that distance before he was caught.
This brought the ball to Norwich's ten
yard line. In the next rush Goddard
was penalized five yards for off side
play, but Knapp made up for this in
one rush and then got by their right
end for ten yards, which carried the ball
over for the second touch down. The
touch down was made in the corner Of
the field, and in arder that they might
have better chance to kick the goal
