defensive play of both teams was ex-
ceedingly bad and the backs, especial

Tho only remarkable feature of the
game was the size of the score which
should have been much larger on both
ends. The local rooters were how
ever, satisfied with a victory.
The weather and field were ideal
! for foot ball game, but the attend

backs repeatedly circled the Gallon

alwaye meant substantial advance
of the ball. The visiting line. now
ever, was a good one and was seldom

at right tackle and Secrist at full back
