Due to the work Of Mr.. Mud and the
interference Of Various Puddles. the
game was a slow one. interpreted

of the oval. several worthy plays were
pulled on the forward pass.

Young made perhaps the most sensa-
tional run OF the game when he
grabbed up the pigskin when the 18th
fumbled near the Fifth goal and ram
bled back for 80 yards with it before

Up to the Goal.
The teams were almost equally
matched. as evidenced by play and
score, although II appeared that the
18th lost most by fumbles- During the
first three quarters either of the
alevens might have scored with a dry
field. As it was. the game was score
less when the fourth quarter began.
Forward rass plays enabled the 18th

Hunter was pushed through for a
touchdown He failed TO kick goal.
Young then demonstrated his skill in
passing the oval, making a beautiful
oss to Matthews, who went around
he opposition end for a touchdown.
Had Young's toe been as true as his
lands at this point, the Fifth had won
he game. but he missed goal. the
game being a tie.
