grounds. and after four Is minute pc
riods of hard play the Centurys came
out on the long end Of a Il to ? score.
The Brooklyns put up a hard fight,
but could hardly be classed with their
heavier and more skilled opponent is.
The Century team has been strength
ened greatly and the team work has
been perfected by regular practice, and
with the aggregation of stars which
they have gathered together they viii
be q hard nut for any Of the teams TO
crack for the balance Of the season.
The only local team that stands a
chance is the Vallejo team, which the
Century defeated two weeks ago and
will play again next Monday
The Century boys used forward
passes very successfully and also
quarter sneaks through the line.
The Brooklyns' undoing was the
work Of their ends, who were partic-
ularly poor. and the star backs Of the
Oakland team made many long runs
right end and a half had to play the
position.
The only point in the game in which
the Brooklyns Outplayed their victors
was the kick and handling Of kicks

larly good in the bac field and Fullback

around the end for a Is yard run and
touchdown. Kiser kicked the goal and
the score read II to 2. Shortly after
the kicl1on Incell tried to make a fake
kick and fumbled the ball. Bueneman
who was in the game at all times. was
on the spot and picked it up and ran
TO the five yard line before being
tackled. The Brooklyn backs could not
advance the ball and the Centuries
kicked out Of danger.
After an exchange of kicks at the
start Of the second half the Centuries
worked a couple OF forward passes over
center and a few end runs, and once
again Kiser went around the end for
the necessary Is yards for the last
touchdown of abe game. He kicked
the goal and the scoring was over.

last period and by good kicking kept
the Centuries past the center of the
