The Methodists proved what has
been said throughout the season in
these columns, that they are much
stronger on defense than on otfense.
With strong, smashing play off Of
either end Carleton could have won
from the Blue and White. Except
on rare occasions, the Carleton
backs ran too wide.
But On defense, nothing could have
eclipsed the showing the local mon
made. st. Louis L. made its dis
tances possibly ten times during
the game, but the gains were scat
tered. Carleton gained about the
same amount of ground as did st.
Louis L., though the latter was sue
ccssful with the forward pass.
Whatever advantage Cochem's men
had in this department Of the game,
however, was overcome by Nation :
kicking.
The visitors kicked off and after
failure to gain on the first two downs
punted. st. Louis L. then advanced
the ball to within twenty yards of
the Carleton goal by n series of line
smashes and forward passes. An
attempted forward pass was blocked
by Woods for Carleton, and, after
an argument as to the legality of
= the pass, the officials decided that
the scrimmage should be played
over. 1t was the third down and on
line play the Blue and White failed
to make the necessary ten yards.

fifteen yards, but Carleton was un-
able to gain further and was forced
to punt. st. Lsuis L. again worked
