tators to their feet. The slippery leather
resulted in several bad fumbles. Stevens
being the worst offender in this respect
In fact. two Of New Yorks touchdowns
we're made directly on punts that the
Stevens backs rnufed.
Both sides used the forward pass sue
cessfulIy. the Stevens score being due TO a
long heave by Butfield 70 Harris on the 20
ward line. Harris eluded all the tacklers
and made q touchdown. New Yorks other
touchdown was made OF straight football.
New York made more ground than Ste
vens on line pIunges and end runs from

lar making two 40-yard runs on this
play. YuIe was very effective in straight
bucks through the line for short distances

outpun-ing Howe consistently. The New
Ycrk. ends also covered much better than
did those os Stevens. Stevens's work was
not very effective when the ball was in her
