Line Plays and Few Punts.
The game was played on the ground,
not in the air. Punts we're almost as
infrequent as home runs in base

one forward pass had been worked
successfully. and that with only slight
gain of territory, and few had been
attempted. The passes which William
and Mary tried in the final period
were to be considered successful only
from the John Marshall point of view.
