star of hope in the Meharry lineup,
He was playing hard ana desperate,
and his gains were well earned. Jack
son of Fisk was also doing some fine
work, and his blocking was a thing of
beauty. After some exchanges in
punts and few rushes, time was
5; Meharry, O.
During the intermission pandemoni-
UNI reigned supreme. The Fisk ban
ner could be seen everywhere. The
supporters of the Nortb-side school
sang and yelled as they never did be-
fore. Young and old alike rejoiced |
Hats and canes were seen playing in
the air everywhere. The old Fisk
spirit was up again. The team had |
fought hard; she had out-played Me
harry; she had scored and her sup
porters were giving their appreciation |
to the deed in yells and song. They |
seemed to realize what a victory over
Meharry meant, and to cheer the boys
on to greater and grander work was
their one purpose.
The Meharry supporters were also
out in great numbers and the crimson
and black had a strong following. |
They also sang and cheered for their
boys and called to them to play hard.
They appeared to be ever hopeful and
did not give up thinking that Meharry
would get to going and win the game.
SECOND HALF.
The referees whistle called the war
riors to battle again. Fisk kicked to
Meharry and Johnson received the
ball. and by splendid work brought it
back Is yards. Meharry here began
to play her old game, and it seemed
for a while that she was indeed her
self. She was at this stage playing
great game. Her ends were down the
field like a flash, but, after some good,
hard line bucking Fisk began to hold
her again, and she had to resort to the
kicking game. With the third down
and eight yards to gain, she punted.
Fisk fumbled and Selby of Meharry
got the ball. In the next scrimmage
Meharry slipped a man through on a
fake and he ran 20 yards for a touch
down. Hurt missed goal Score.
Fisk, 5; Meharry, 5. The Meharry
supporters then got in their work and
we'll did they do it. Crimson and black
could be seen flying everywhere. The
boys from South Nashville had tied
the score and the game had, indeed
grown desperate But Fisk came back
strong-she was not going to give up
without a struggle. They wore a look
of determination. She entered the
game with a new spirit. Her backs
flew into the line and around the end
with the speed and force of a locomo-
tive, and it was not long before she
had worked the ball back into Meharry
territory. She began to play more des.
pirate. Her playing took on lightning
like speed, her rooters began to cheer
and call on them to go home. But Me
harry had also braced and Fisk here
found stumbling block and could go
no further. She resolved to try a
placement, and, with everything as
still as death and the vast throng wait
ing to see the results, they dropped
back and with the ball on the twenty
five-yard line made one of the best
field goals seen here in some seasons
