the scorers OF the points in the re-
cent series happened to be, and which
ones. are to be given the credit for
having turned the tide of victory in

ship banner. In the ten games but
sixteen touchdowns were scored. This
Is an average OF less. than two per
game, ana is proof conclusive that the

games Is further evidence oil the failure

other players who failed to negotiate
