on Ouimby field. The local boys pray
cd a snappy offensive game ana were
ahle to make the required distance
,yithont much trouble. Edward Little
x,,o, unable TO break up the 1nterfer-
once of the Gardiner boys or to mold
tban, for downs but few times. Gardi-
ner practiced the forward pass great
many times but worked it successful
" less than six times. Gardiner show
cd the result of Keaneys coaching and
PLAYED an entirely different style OF
game than the Auburn boys, who, 1t
was stated, had not had any coaching
this fall.
\ Gardeners style Of play was more in
line with the new rules while the Au
burn team played the older style game.
The Gardiner plays were run off in
such a way that an excellent interior
| ence was formed and back of this Cap
rain Blanchard and George Talbot
made some fine gains with several
rms of Is and 20 yards. Blanchard did
fine work in carrying the ball in a
broken field while Talbot did great
work in advancing the hal! by lodging
the opposing players. These two play
ers carried the bali nearly all the time
and as result their work was the
more noticeable, but credit is due all
the other players for the manner in
which they protected the runner.
Edward Little was unable to make
any long gains, especially through the
center of the line. Sherman, Wise,
Lovely and Jerry and Eddie Talbot fol-
lowed the ball in great shape and nall
= ed the runner nearly every time. Con-
nors and Glidden, the Gardiner ends.
also put up fine games and generally
kept the gains around their ends down
10 short distances. In FOssett. Jerry
and Ed Talbot Gardiner has three CEN
fer ren who for their age put UP a
! remarkable game Saturday. Their OPP
! moments were nearly their equals in
size and weight but the Gardiner boys
we're much superior to them in all
parts of the game.
Fumbling on both sides marred the
playing and in this Edward Little
was the gamer as their men succeed
ed in getting the ball more than the
Gardiner boys. Gardiner also lost
the ball a great many times on try
Ing the forward pass Penalties were
made on both teams but few times and
5fhen but for five yards in most in
Estances. Edward Little was penaliZed
Early in the first period Is yards.
The first touchdown came after
Eabout five minutes Of play in the first
#period Gardiner received the kick
land Blanchard and Talbot carried the
&ball we'll down the field and then lost
/ 1t on the first try for forward pass.
| Edward Little was unable to gain and
ETalbot ran the ball back on the kick
/ for a good gain. The ball exchanged
fhands twice and then Gardiner rushed
lit Down to the 5-yard line after
/ blanchard and Talbot had made sew
eral fine runs The touchdown was
made all right hut the ball was FUN
bled after 1t crossed the line. and
not being a free play no attempt
could be made to kick the goal. No
further scoring was done in this peri
cd which ended with the ball in Gar
diners possession on the 1S-Nard
line
A new wrinkle in the rules this
year was brought out at the end of
the first period. The ball was
changed to the opposite end of the
field In the same relative position.
After a rest of three minutes play
was resumed and Blanchard went over
the line on the very first play for
q second touchdown. He did not kick
the goal.
For the remainder Of the second pc
Rod both sides had the ball. Gar
diner attempted the forward pass sew

distance and was forced to kick. The
second half OF the game was split up
Into two periods of eight minutes
each. Gardiner did not attempt to
roll up so large n score and several
substitutes We're put in to relieve
the first string men, who later went
INTO the game. this being another
feature of the new rules. The for
ward pass is worked differently this
year than it was last fall. The play
