Petersburg, which Tolson secured on
q tumble. Then by grim determin-
alton, pressed on by the lorg .pent up
spirit Of her sympathizers, with sheer
brute strength. the Union machine
consistently drove the Orange ard
Blue back down the field to their ten-
ward line. Here the Coolers held fast
for three downs; but on the fourth
Howell opened an aperture IN the ad-
versarys defense and literally butted
his way to a touchdown. Here again
the fates held thumbs down against
Union. for Hucles failed to kick goal
The score stood 10, in Petersburgs
