determined effort at the beginning of
the second half. The score was IL to .

backs Were hurled into the line once with
out gain. The second attempt resulted in
the AggieS' linemen charging through and
throwing the runner for a loss of yards.
On the next attempt there was no gain

yard line. 1t was a brilliant bit OF
defensive work. and the special formation
used was especially effective.
Both the touchdowns secured by the

the beginning of the game. On the first
play Morris made yards around the
gain of about II yards through right
tackle. The Farmers were penalized at
this stage, though and the ball was

stepped on the side line. He started again
on the very next play. and ran fifty yards

play Morris carried the ball across.
The AgSies presented the strongest con-

they have been appearing here. There
was never Il moment when they Jagged.

formidable than in Years.
There was a large crowd of students

the victory of their eleven. They prac-
