FIRST QUARTER.
The first score game in the first quar-
ter A long punt was dropped near our
goal line and a Jefferson man touched It.
With remarkably quick headwork Chaune
scored the first touchdown. Call 1t
fluke play if you will. 1t is true that
it did not result from hard line pound
ing or clever forward passing but from
that part of real football-quiek thinking
that makes the game what it is The
Jefferson team did not think very last
1t took them several minutes TO grasp
what had happened and then grudgingly
admit that gray matter netted the first
six points When Hippo kicked goal we
had seven point Lead
In the second quarter jefferson showed
the weight of her line and backfeld. Four
times on end runs or off tackle bucks, she
scored first downs, with two minutes to
play in that quarter, they had the ball on
our yard line with four downs to go.
Two plunges carried the ball within six
inches of the goal; Then the red and
black line stiffened and two downs went
by without IA half incha gain. This is the
supreme test of a team. To hold the line

FOURTH QUARTER.
The fourth quarter was a story of see
saw. Fumbles and incomplete forward
passes fourth downs gave the ball to
one side and then the other. When the
racking game Jefferson stood held in her
tracks the thirty yard line with no
prospect of going an inch farther.
Our peerless quarter Phillips used
judgment in all his plays and played a
great part in the victory. Glover and
Manning in the backfield could be coun-
ted on for substantial gains when gains
were needed. On the line Jaubert was a
tower of strength. He anticipated plays

Jaubert at the other the Jefferson quar-

across was around.
ONLY ONE MORE CHANCE
We will have bUsk one more chance to
see the 1926 Rock-a -chaws in action. The
Navy is coming over on Thanksgiving
and are determined to even up scores.
