which rendered brilliant play almost inn
possible, buh for bulldog tenacity and
uphill fighting II was a humdinEert and
then some. We use tho term uphill be-
cause al some stage Of the game each
of the teams had to face what looked
like insuperablc obstacles, and TO the
credit of the boys In the fray be n SAID
that they met the issue squarely and
came through with flying colors,
M. Z. s. scored the first touchdown
in the opening quarter. on = cleverly
executed trick play by Left End Raney.
After working the ball to Normal's 35-
yard line, Leake. sub-end. came on the
field and relieved Crump, right end, who
was Immediately swallowed up by the
crowd on the side lines, shortly after

tossed IL to the ground. However, he
did not leave the field, and when the

Predictions were freely made then
that the Red and Blue would win by AZ
least three ~touchdowns. But Normal

rally, and when the second quarter
ended had the ball on NJ u, q, lS-yard

after Gibbons intercepted a forward
pass, they started a march up the field,
using straight football, With Gibbons
and Creson carrying the ball most OF
the time.
Gibbons, on a smash through cen,er
carried the ball over for the tina
touchdown, Just about five minutes be

In the opening paragraph VIC said
something about luck and we want TO
explain our position. II was a matter
of luck that Captain Crawford was seat
10 the sidelines with a twisted ankle
on the first play OF the game and less
than two minutes later Hugh Wash
