Wins From A0RMALS
CANE FROM BEHIND ~ VERY
LAST QUARtFR AND SCORED
\ GREAT VICTORY.



Going into thc game overconfident
the Trinity football team found 1t a
difficult task to negotiate the de-
feat Of the Moth Texas Normal team
here Tuesday AFTERNOON. The Teach
ers played terce game throughout
the first halftand had the locals on
the defensive From the sound of the
referees whi4le and scored touch
down in the kecond quarter, but in
the last quaner Trinity came back
strong and hammered her way thru.
the line for Egood gains. The ini-
tial score by Trinity came after a
decision whi3h gave Trinity back
the ball afted an attempt at forward
pass, the bail going over the goal
line, but the bains we're finally made
through thel line. Coach Bivens
seemed to Il trying out his team
and worked Eincher. Estes and Carl
Ferguson al quarter. The last
named seemdi to be the most effec-
tive. Ferguton opened way for
Fuqua and tn substitute full pierced
the line timd and again.
Trinity bY great display of
team work tame up from behind
and won fro1h the North Texas Norl
NAL by $ore of IA to g. The
game was sl<w and listless for the
first three quarters, the Normal
team being generally the aggressor
Splawn and Collins in the Normal
back field wdfe able to get through
for substantial gains. Several for
ward passes were also successfully
!executed for Good gains. The Trim
ity team playdi lifelessly, their plays
starting slow, pnd when Normal had
the ball Trinity seemed unable to
tackle.
On the very first play of the game
Normal made 30 yards through the
line. and this blay seemed to daze
the Trinity plakers until the fourth
quarter
That the Nor&als were the aggres-
sors is shown iby the fact that in
the first three Quarters they made
ten first down4 and gained 1862
yards, while Trinity was making 95
yards in six downs. From the be-
ginning of the eame until Normars
touchdown came early in the second
quarter, the bah was continuously
in Trinity territory. After this
Touchdown, the Iball seesawed back
and forth between the two teams,
both showing flbshes of speed at
times. but sooni falling back into
listless playing.
In the fourth Quarter. with but ten
minutes to playa the Trinity team
suddenly came tp life and began to
tear up the Normal defense. Start
ing from near tho center of the field,
Trinity worked ehe ball to the Nor
NAL 3-yard line, 1.-TWO beautifully ex-
cuted forward ptsses of 20 and Is
yards helping materially in the
gains. From thS 3-yard line Moore
bucked over on I delayed pass for a
touchdown. God was kicked. This
touchdown won The gene, but Trim
ity was not satisfied.
| Getting the bill again in mo-
ment. they marched down the field a
second time andf Ivan Fuqua finally
carried the balls over for a second
touchdown. Tho game was almost a
repetition of fhe Howard Payne
II game. in which Trinity was out
played in three nuarters, when they
came to life and won by a large
h score in the fourth quarter.
II For Trinity, Carl Ferguson. Title
Ferguson, Anderson and Fuqua were
the most Consistent players. The
Normal teams best men were Col
Inns and Splawn.
II This is the last game to be played
on Trinity's grounds this season, the
remaining games being played away
