found II almost impossible to pene-

again went over on downs The locals
seemed TO lose heart at this iuncture
OF the contest. and the Spiders by
straight line plunging and off tackle
plays. advanced the ball to within the
shadow or the Indians goal-line from
where II was taken over for the third

shortly after this touchdown
AZ the opening of the last stanza
boih teams rcsorted TO the use OF the
forward pass almost exclusively. and
the eleVenS appeared to be about overly
matched in this stanZa. The Indians
prevented the Spiders from scoring by
| use or the aerial attack; but this avail
eel them little. as the locals could not
get their forward passes off for any
great distance. and they. too. failed 10
score.
LaSsiter and fortress divided the
honors or the day with Captain Close,
or the locals. Each of these boys play
ed hard throughout the entire struG-
gle. and. despite the fact that the local
team lost. their playing was tie OUT
standing feature for the Indians.
