 Neill from the 40-yard line. It nar-
 rowly missed, falling between the goal posts under the bar. The ball was on Towards 20-yard line. Two attempts
 to gain on end runs failed and for ward pass was tried Gillem intercept ed it but was downed in his tracks. The Methodist backfeld was slow to get in motion on every play and the

 center and on the next play Capps
 circled left end and the remainder of
 the field for a touchdown. It was a
 beautiful run and the little back did
 some clever lodging. Gillem missed an
 easy goal The touchdown seemed to
 rut more spirit into both teams and
 when play was started evidence of
 more fight could be plainly seen. How
 ard received and Campbell returned 50
 yards. Determination marked every
 play of the Baptists and soon the
 plunging Baptist backs had placed the
 ball on Owenton's three-yard line.

 were doing all of the gaining and when the two-foot line was reached time was called by a Howard man. This game each team needed rest and when play was resumed it appeared certain that the Baptists would score. Black welder failed to gain through cen- ter. Price lacked an inch of going over the line. Shaw lost a few inches and it was the fourth down with about four inches to make the goal. Captain Blackwelder was given the ball, but he, too. was held and the ball went over to the weary Methodists. Neill
