ON a fake kick and carried the ball close TO
the Carlisle goal line. From there Crimson

Wendell to take the leather In every one OF
the ensuing assaults that finally brought oe-

and heaped itself up in huge stacks to see
the game. When the streams OF football

tiers around the scene Of action there were
between 5000 and 10000 spectators looking
down from various heights.

discordant airs on a fiageolet until the Teams
