after which the half ended.
The All-Stars changed their lineup In
the second half. Brown was relieved
at fullback by Selph, Quinn was
switched from guard to left end and
Pearson was put In at guard. With
these changes the Stars made better
showing, and Crawford succeeded In
booting a place kick between the goal
posts shortly after the half opened.
This half was contested fiercely from
start to finish, with the Stars showing
