TACOMA, Nov. 25.
On a sloppy field, covered
with sawdust, Lincoln and
Tacoma slipped and slid to
a 0 to o score in the first
half this morning.
All of the play was in
Tacoma territory, giving
the Seattle lads the edge,
but Lincoln never got the

25 yards. Both teams are
resorting to straight foot

The punting was all in
Tacoma's favor in the first
