teams both held each other solid

The game was characterized by
straight line bucks, few end
runs being tried but generally
with small gains or for losses. The
forward pass was tried twice by
Tacoma, failing one and making
ID yards the second time. Lin

unsuccessfully. The onside kick
was tried with little success by
the visitors.
On account of their greater
