game was started, the patrOlmen
who had been on the outside were
brought in to keep the spectators
from the playing field. and then sew
eral hundred jumped the fences and
saw the game free. Under the cir

handled the crowd we'll both on the
field and the automobile jam at the
close of the contest

{ danger. and that was at the very end
of the third and beginning Of the
fourth periods. The Blue and Gold
made a great stand and retrieved
the pigslIin on downs, three yards
