ernoon on the local field by score
of to 0, says the Tribune in it's

secured for a local contest.
Early in the first period the visitors

a punting contest until we'll into the
third period Moscow lost its oppor-

line bucking had advanced the ball
to the five-yard line but here the
Lewiston players braced their line
and punted out of danger.
