between Baylor and Trinity resulted
in the score of II to 6 in favor of
Baylor Trinity's touchdown came
about the middle of the second half,
when Culbertson got the ball on a
tumble from a bad kick and ran six
ty yards for the goal With that eX-
ception Trinity was not within strik-
ing distance of Baylor's goal eX-
cept one or two times throughout the
game. Baylor clearly outplayed them
at every point, though every inch of
ground was hotly contested.
Baylor's gains were made from
forward passes and on side kicks,
principally the latter. Some good
gains were also made through the
line and Captain Robinson made
several sensational dashes around
the end for substantial gains. The
first touchdown was made by
Fouts, who accepted a forward pass
for twenty yards and ran twenty
more through q broken field for the
goal line. The second was made just
before the close of the first half by
Captain Robinson, who bucked thru
the line for ten yards.
The third touchdown was made
by Willie in the second half on a
double pass. Robinson, Fouts and
Willie all starred for the local team
Robinson's punting being a feature
Edmondson was easily the star OF
the visiting team.
