TRUTH
By EDDIE HURLEY.

Sporting Editor. the Boston Record.
Keck's really brilliant play came
in the third period. The period was
nearing the limit when Harvard de-
cided to kick. George owen went
back. prepared to get OF Z long
spiral. il
Keck crashed through the line
when the ball WAS snapped. He
smashed his way toward owen. who
was In the act Of getting OF one Of
his long kicks. Ths punt was
blocked. The ball rolled toward
the goal line.
His ChAaoe.
Owen did not hesitate. Neither
did Keck. They started in pursuit
Of the ball. 1t was neck and neck!
But Owens speed was finally as
serting itself. 1t. looked as though
the Newton boy would be the first
to reach the ball.
Even Keck realized this fact to
be true. His speed might not COM
pare to the fleetness of the Harvard
back. Keck Immediately gave up
all hope Of recovering the hall al
though he had as good q chance
for doing SO q did Owen. But de-
cided that Owen would not recover
1t either.
His Sacrifice.
Owen was ready to ponilce upon
the ball. Just Is he was preparing
himself to spring, Keck hit him
from behind and the Harvard man
rolled across the goal line with
Keck after him.
Then Le Grendre. the Princeton
end. who was closely following
Keck ana Owen, bounced On the
ball and recovered it on Harvard
S-tArd line. And 4 minute or so
later the ball was over the line for
. Princeton touchdown, the second
Of the game. And so 1t was that
Stanley Ksck passed up his claim
to plaudits in order that he might
be sure Of his teams greater glory
